Panel: The semantic web: who needs it?
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

While the HTML document format dominates most of the information presented on the Web, the vision behind the Web has always been that the information accessible on it should be machine-processable as well as human consumable. While knowledge representation has a long and distinguished history, it has largely concentrated on capturing expertise in specialised domains. Allowing information to be made machine processable in an environment as diverse as the Web requires a number of underlying assumptions to be reassessed. A number of international initiatives are already investigating the path to take towards enabling a machine-processable, knowledge-rich information environment. Among these are the RDF and RDFS working groups in W3C,and the DAML and Ontoknowledge projects. In addition, the MPEG7 community is one of the key projects for investigating the complex issues of combining semantics not only with textual information, but also multimedia. We propose to explore these issues and consider what problems need to be solved to make the Semantic Web a reality.

Birthday protocols for low energy deployment and flexible neighbor discovery in ad hoc wireless networks
Authors: Michael J. McGlynn, Steven A. Borbash
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

In this paper, we address two problems associated with static ad hoc wireless networks; methods of saving energy during a deployment of the nodes, and efficient methods of performing adjacent neighbor discovery. To meet these goals we introduce a family of "birthday protocols"which use random independent transmissions to discover adjacent nodes. Various modes of the birthday protocol are used to solve the two problems. We provide a mathematical model and analysis of two modes of the protocol and are led to a third mode which is the probabilistic analog of the deterministic round robin scheduling algorithm. We show by analysis and simulation that the birthday protocols are a promising tool for saving energy during the deployment of an ad hoc network as well as an efficient and flexible means of having the nodes discover their neighbors

Neural Network Perception for Mobile Robot Guidance
Authors: Dean A. Pomerleau
Venue:  (1993)

:Vision based mobile robot guidance has proven difficult for classical machine vision methods because of the diversity and real time constraints inherent in the task. This book describes a connectionist system called ALVINN (Autonomous Land Vehicle In a Neural Network) that overcomes these difficulties. ALVINN learns to guide mobile robots using the back-propagation training algorithm. Because of its ability to learn from example, ALVINN can adapt to new situations and therefore cope with the diversity of the autonomous navigation task. But real world problems like vision based mobile robot guidance present a different set of challenges for the connectionist paradigm. Among them are: how to develop a general representation from a limited amount of real training data, how to understand the internal representations developed by artificial neural networks, how to estimate the reliability of individual networks, how to combine multiple networks trained for different situations into a single system, and how to combine connectionist perception with symbolic reasoning. Neural Network Perception for Mobile Robot Guidance presents novel solutions to each of these problems. Using these techniques, the ALVINN system can learn to control an autonomous van in under 5 minutes by watching a person drive. Once trained, individual ALVINN networks can drive in a variety of circumstances, including single-lane paved and unpaved roads, and multi-lane lined and unlined roads, at speeds of up to 55 miles per hour. The techniques also are shown to generalize to the task of controlling the precise foot placement of a walking robot.

Principles of Digital Image Synthesis
Authors: Andrew S. Glassner
Venue:  (1994)

:Image synthesis, or rendering, is a field of transformation: it changes geometry and physics into meaningful images. Because the most popular algorithms frequently change, it is increasingly important for researchers and implementors to have a basic understanding of the principles of image synthesis. Focusing on theory, Andrew Glassner provides a comprehensive explanation of the three core fields of study that come together to form digital image synthesis: the human visual system, digital signal processing, and the interaction of matter and light. Assuming no more than a basic background in calculus, Glassner transforms his passion and expertise into a thorough presentation of each of these disciplines, and their elegant orchestration into modern rendering techniques such as radiosity and ray tracing.

Re-forming information: a case study in teaching content encapsulation
Authors: Rebecca Matson
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

The challenges that face content management writers are not just tools, but the design principles and concepts underlying content management. This paper is a case study that explores the challenges of teaching writers both to create encapsulated content and to design that content within a user-centric approach to information design. The approach used in the class provided a fine-grained definition of information types to move the writers as far as possible from the traditional documentation approach. The insights presented in this case study are drawn from instructors' experiences in presenting a course in content encapsulation to technical writers, employed by a traditionally mainframe-based software company. Writer reactions suggested that the approach taught in the class assisted them in overcoming existing preconceptions of document design, user profiling, and content creation.

Mac OS X: the missing manual
Authors: David Pogue
Venue:  (2001)

Unfortunately, learning Mac OS X is also whole new ballgame. As author David Pogue notes in his introduction, "Mac OS X" is a misnomer--it isn't really the Mac OS at all; there's scarcely a single line of code in common with the tangled, ancient code of the older Mac OS. Hundreds of features have been removed, added, or moved around.
Designing multilingual web sites: applied authoring techniques
Authors: Terri Morgan, Carol Luttrell, Yuzeng Liu
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

International corporations and small organizations recognize that although you can buy in any language, you must use the customer's language to sell. Because of this, the dominance of English in the Internet is lessening. To effectively author for the Internet, the practice of sequential design in one language followed by subsequent adaptation to accommodate another language must change to that of creating an initial design accommodating multiple languages at once. But anytime more than one language is involved in anything many challenges arise. These must be addressed and overcome to achieve accuracy in message delivery. The challenges to doing this in the instant, dynamic, location-independent media that are available on the Internet are as unique as the demand for the capability is great. That's what makes it fun!This workshop addresses key issues in Designing and Authoring Multilingual Websites. Writing considerations, dealing with information, the way it is presented, and the content structure are addressed as are the technical issues of file structure, data definition and implementation. Through questions and answers, participants will help "design and build" a multilingual web site. As each of the key definitions is created, the participants will be presented with issues related to those definitions. In this way, we will work through the entire process, giving the participants a chance to learn more about the questions they may need to ask in order to create their own effective, maintainable, sustainable multilingual web sites.
Improved projection for cylindrical algebraic decomposition
Authors: Christopher W. Brown
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2001)

McCallum's projection operator for cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) represented a huge step forward for the practical utility of the CAD algorithm. This paper presents a simple theorem showing that the mathematics in McCallum's paper actually point to a better projection operator than he proposes-a reduced McCallum projection. The reduced projection has the potential to not simply speed up CAD computation for problems that are currently solvable in practice, but actually increase the scope of problems that can realistically be attacked via CADs. Additionally, the same methods are used to show that McCallum's projection can be reduced still further when CAD is applied to certain types of commonly occurring quantifier elimination problems.

Analysis of web caching architectures: hierarchical and distributed caching
Authors: Pablo Rodriguez, Christian Spanner, Ernst W. Biersack
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

Cache cooperation improves the performance of isolated caches, especially for caches with small cache populations. To make caches cooperate on a large scale and effectively increase the cache population, several caches are usually federated in caching architectures. In this paper, we discuss and compare the performance of different caching architectures. In particular, we consider hierarchical and distributed caching. We derive analytical models to study important performance parameters of hierarchical and distributed caching, i.e., client's perceived latency, bandwidth usage, load in the caches, and disk space usage. Additionally, we consider a hybrid caching architecture that combines hierarchical caching with distributed caching at every level of a caching hierarchy. We evaluate the performance of a hybrid scheme and determine the optimal number of caches that should cooperate at each caching level to minimize client's retrieval latency.
Towards a visual query interface for phylogenetic databases
Authors: Hasan M. Jamil, Giovanni A. Modica, Maria A. Teran
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Querying and visualization of phylogenetic databases remain a great challenge due to their complex tree type semi structured nature. Naturally, successful phylogenetic databases such as the Tree of Life database at the University of Arizona are implemented as Web documents in HTML. While Web implementation of such databases facilitate the representation, and in part, visualization of their contents, querying remains an issue. The interoperability of Web-based phylogenetic databases with other similar databases such as TreeBase and RDB which are implemented using traditional database management systems, has not been possible due to the impedance mismatch between the underlying query and data representation framework. In this paper, we present a novel approach to phylogentic database management using existing database technologies without compromising potential opportunities for visualization and interoperability. We present a Web-based tool for the creation, querying and visualization of phylogenetic databases. We demonstrate the functional capabilities and strengths of our system by recreating the Tree of Life database in our system and performing queries that are not possible in the original Tree of Life database.
