Inverse relations and Schauder bases
Authors: I.-Chiau Huang
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

The concept of inter-changes of Schauder bases is used to interpret inverse relations for sequences. For a given power series, the interplay between different representations by Schauder bases can result in combinatorial identities, new or known. Local cohomology residues and local duality are used for computations. The viewpoint of Riordan arrays is examined using Schauder bases.
Penalty/Barrier Multiplier Methods for Convex Programming Problems
Authors: Aharon Ben-Tal, Michael Zibulevsky
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

We study a class of methods for solving convex programs, which are based on nonquadratic augmented Lagrangians for which the penalty parameters are functions of the multipliers. This gives rise to Lagrangians which are nonlinear in the multipliers. Each augmented Lagrangian is specified by a choice of a penalty function $\varphi$ and a penalty-updating function $\pi$. The requirements on $\varphi$ are mild and allow for the inclusion of most of the previously suggested augmented Lagrangians. More importantly, a new type of penalty/barrier function (having a logarithmic branch glued to a quadratic branch) is introduced and used to construct an efficient algorithm. Convergence of the algorithms is proved for the case of $\pi$ being a sublinear function of the dual multipliers. The algorithms are tested on large-scale quadratically constrained problems arising in structural optimization.

Design and implementation of a large-scale hybrid distributed graphics system
Authors: Jian Yang, Jiaoying Shi, Zhefan Jin, Hui Zhang
Venue: Proceedings of the Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (2002)

Although modern graphics hardware has strong capability to render millions of triangles within a second, huge scenes are still unable to be rendered in real-time. Lots of parallel and distributed graphics systems are explored to solve this problem. However none of them is built for large-scale graphics applications.We designed AnyGL, a large-scale hybrid distributed graphics system, which consists of four types of logical nodes, Geometry Distributing Node, Geometry Rendering Node, Image Composition Node and Display Node. The first two types of logical nodes are combined to be a sort-first graphics architecture while the others compose images. A new state tracking method based on logical timestamp is also pro-posed for state tracking of large-scale distributed graphics systems. Besides, three classes of compression are employed to reduce the requirement of network bandwidth, including command code compression, geometry compression and image compression. A new extension, global share of textures and display lists, is also implemented in AnyGL to avoid memory explosion in large-scale cluster rendering systems.
The REL animated film language
Authors: F. Thompson, R. Bigelow N. Greenfeld J. Odden, D. Reece P. Szolovits
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

Motion picture films generated by computers have now been produced by a number of groups across the country. We wish to report here on the design and implementation of the REL Animated Film Language (AFL), designed primarily for use by artists interested in the aesthetics of abstract motion graphics. The language is simple enough to be used by the artist directly, rather than by a professional programmer acting for the artist. It provides convenient means of expressing spatial and temporal changes in the shape and location of the objects with which the artist constructs his compositions. The artist uses the language to express the inter-object relationships which embody the aesthetic content of the work.

Axiomatic definitions of programming languages: a theoretical assessment (preliminary report)
Authors: Albert R. Meyer, Joseph Y. Halpern
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1980)

A precise definition is given of how partial correctness or termination assertions serve to specify the semantics of classes of program schemes. Assertions involving only formulas of first order predicate calculus are proved capable of specifying program scheme semantics, and effective axiom systems for deriving such assertions are described. Such axiomatic specifications are possible despite the limited expressive power of predicate calculus.

How to Hack a Party Line: The Democrats and Silicon Valley
Authors: Sara Miles
Venue:  (2000)

:How to Hack a Party Line is the first book to explain the political significance of the high-technology industry. It shows the birth of a relationship between the new millionaires of the information age and the Washington insiders that will shape the politics of the twenty-first century. Packed with exclusive, behind-the-scenes reporting, How to Hack a Party Line chronicles a high-stakes experiment: the creation of Silicon Valley's first political machine. The book explores the often contradictory forces behind Silicon Valley's political awakening-a mixture of na&iuml;ve libertarian sentiment, northern California social attitudes, aggressive business instincts, and a raw desire for power. Simultaneously it looks at Centrist "new Democrats" who have left behind the liberal coalitions of the industrial economy and are seeking a new identity in the values proclaimed by high-tech capitalists: growth, globalism, efficiency, and innovation. How to Hack a Party Line combines a colorful, character-rich narrative with serious reporting and political analysis. It asks what values prosper when high-tech business becomes the metaphor for society-and how, in the twenty-first century, democracy will respond.

Proxy-based TCP-friendly streaming over mobile networks
Authors: Lei Huang, Uwe Horn, Frank Hartung, Markus Kampmann
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Wireless mobile multimedia (2002)

Mobile media streaming is envisioned to become an important service over packet-switched 2.5G and 3G wireless networks. At the same time, TCP-friendly rate-adaptation behavior for streaming will become an important IETF requirement. In this paper we investigate TCP-friendly on-demand streaming over wired and wireless links. We consider two approaches for achieving TCP-friendliness: first, by tunneling RTP packets over TCP and secondly by employing an RTP server rate control which does not exceed a variable rate constraint derived from the recently developed TFRC protocol. To allow a reasonable fair comparison between TCP and TFRC, we assume a simple retransmission mechanism on top of TFRC. We consider streaming from a server in the public Internet to both wired and wireless clients. For the wireless case we assumed a client which is connected to the public Internet via a dedicated 64 kbps WCDMA streaming bearer. Simulation results carried out in ns-2 show that TCP and TFRC can not fully utilize the WCDMA bearer at 5% packet loss rate over the shared public Internet link. Smooth playout of a typical 64 kbps video stream would require high initial buffering delays (>10 seconds) and large receiver buffer sizes (>60 KB). We finally investigate the gains from a proxy that splits the connection and uses TCP-friendly congestion control only over the shared part of the client-server connection. Simulation results show improvements in average throughput and wireless link utilization. By employing appropriate packet re-scheduling mechanisms, the initial buffering delay and the client buffer size for a typical 64 kbps video stream can be decreased by a factor of three to four.
