A framework for performance monitoring, modelling and prediction of component oriented distributed systems
Authors: Adrian Mos, John Murphy
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

We present a framework that can be used to identify performance issues in component-oriented distributed systems. The framework consists of a monitoring module, a modelling module and a prediction module, that are interrelated. The monitoring block extracts real-time performance data from a live or under development system. The modelling block generates UML models of the system showing where the performance problems are located and drives the monitoring process. The performance prediction block simulates different system-loads on the generated models and pinpoints possible performance issues. The technological focus is currently on Enterprise Java Beans systems.

A Scalable Parallel Algorithm for Incomplete Factor Preconditioning
Authors: David Hysom, Alex Pothen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We describe a parallel algorithm for computing incomplete factor (ILU) preconditioners. The algorithm attains a high degree of parallelism through graph partitioning and a two-level ordering strategy. Both the subdomains and the nodes within each subdomain are ordered to preserve concurrency. We show through an algorithmic analysis and through computational results that this algorithm is scalable. Experimental results include timings on three parallel platforms for problems with up to 20 million unknowns running on up to 216 processors. The resulting preconditioned Krylov solvers have the desirable property that the number of iterations required for convergence is insensitive to the number of processors.

Naturally Intelligent Systems
Authors: Maureen Caudill, Charles Butler
Venue:  (1992)

:For centuries, people have been fascinated by the possibility of building an artificial system that behaves intelligently. From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein monster to the computer intelligence of HAL in 2001, scientists have been cast in the role of creator of such devices. Now there is a new entry into this arena, neural networks, and Naturally Intelligent Systems explores these systems to see how they work and what they can do. Neural networks are not computers in any traditional sense, and they have little in common with earlier approaches to the problem of fabricating intelligent behavior. Instead, they are information processing systems that are physically modeled after the structure of the brain and that are trained to perform a task rather than programmed like a computer. Neural networks, in fact, provide a tool with problemsolving capabilities - and limitations - strikingly similar to those of animals and people. In particular, they are successful in applications such as speech, vision, robotics, and pattern recognition. Naturally Intelligent Systems offers a comprehensive introduction to these exciting systems. It provides a technically accurate, yet down-to-earth discussion of neural networks. No particular mathematical background is necessary; it is written for all interested readers. Naturally Intelligent Systents clearly explains the underlying concepts of key neural network designs, how they are trained, and why they work. It compares their behavior to the natural intelligence found in animals - and people. Throughout, Caudill and Butler bring the field into focus by presenting actual applications that illustrate neural networks'utility in the real world. Maureen Caudill is President of Adaptics, a neural network consulting company in San Diego and author of the popular "Neural Network Primer" articles that appear regularly in AI Expert. Charles Butler is a Senior Principal Scientist at Physical Sciences in Alexandria, Virginia. He is a specialist in neural network application development. A Bradford Book
An Interpolating Polynomial Method for Numerical Conformal Mapping
Authors: R. Michael Porter
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

A simple algorithm is presented for numerical approximation of conformal mappings for simply connected planar regions. The desired mapping is represented by a normalized polynomial of degree N, determined by the boundary values which it is presumed to take at the Nth roots of unity; then its values at the N intermediate 2Nth roots of unity are used to correct the initial guess. Each iteration, which consists essentially of matrix multiplication and boundary projection, costs O(N log N) arithmetic operations. Numerical results are provided to confirm linear convergence of the algorithm.
Compact Representations of the Intersection Structure of Families of Finite Sets
Authors: János Körner, Angelo Monti
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

The Nesetril--Pultr dimension of the Kneser graph is interpreted as the shortest length of strings over an infinite alphabet representing the vertices of the graph so that the absence of coincidences in the codewords of a pair of vertices is equivalent to adjacency, i.e., to the two underlying sets being disjoint. We study analogous but more demanding representations in case the alphabet size may be limited and yet the full intersection has to be determined from the coincidences. Our results introduce a connection between extremal set theory and zero-error problems in multiterminal source coding in the Shannon sense.

Nonerasing, counting, and majority over the linear time hierarchy
Authors: Arnaud Durand, Malika More
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

In this paper, we investigate several extensions of the linear time hierarchy (denoted by LTH). We first prove that it is not necessary to erase the oracle tape between two successive oracle calls, thereby lifting a common restriction on LTH machines. We also define a natural counting extension of LTH and show that it corresponds to a robust notion of counting bounded arithmetic predicates. Finally, we show that the computational power of the majority operator is equivalent to that of the exact counting operator in both contexts.

Alternating Projection-Proximal Methods for Convex Programming and Variational Inequalities
Authors: Paul Tseng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

We consider a mixed problem composed in part of finding a zero of a maximal monotone operator and in part of solving a monotone variational inequality problem. We propose a solution method for this problem that alternates between a proximal step (for the maximal monotone operator part) and a projection-type step (for the monotone variational inequality part) and analyze its convergence and rate of convergence. This method extends a decomposition method of Chen and Teboulle [Math. Programming, 64 (1994), pp. 81--101] for convex programming and yields, as a by-product, new decomposition methods.
Design and evaluation of a conit-based continuous consistency model for replicated services
Authors: Haifeng Yu, Amin Vahdat
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer Systems (TOCS) (2002)

The tradeoffs between consistency, performance, and availability are well understood. Traditionally, however, designers of replicated systems have been forced to choose from either strong consistency guarantees or none at all. This paper explores the semantic space between traditional strong and optimistic consistency models for replicated services. We argue that an important class of applications can tolerate relaxed consistency, but benefit from bounding the maximum rate of inconsistent access in an application-specific manner. Thus, we develop a conit-based continuous consistency model to capture the consistency spectrum using three application-independent metrics, numerical error, order error, and staleness. We then present the design and implementation of TACT, a middleware layer that enforces arbitrary consistency bounds among replicas using these metrics. We argue that the TACT consistency model can simultaneously achieve the often conflicting goals of generality and practicality by describing how a broad range of applications can express their consistency semantics using TACT and by demonstrating that application-independent algorithms can efficiently enforce target consistency levels. Finally, we show that three replicated applications running across the Internet demonstrate significant semantic and performance benefits from using our framework.

A transport layer approach for achieving aggregate bandwidths on multi-homed mobile hosts
Authors: Hung-Yun Hsieh, Raghupathy Sivakumar
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

Due to the availability of a wide variety of wireless access technologies, a mobile host can potentially have subscriptions and access to more than one wireless network at a given time. In this paper, we consider such a multi-homed mobile host, and address the problem of achieving bandwidth aggregation by striping data across the multiple interfaces of the mobile host. We show that both link layer striping approaches and application layer techniques that stripe data across multiple TCP sockets do not achieve the optimal bandwidth aggregation due to a variety of factors specific to wireless networks. We propose an end-to-end transport layer approach called pTCP that effectively performs bandwidth aggregation on multi homed mobile hosts. We show through simulations that pTCP achieves the desired goals under a variety of network conditions.
An Approximation Algorithm for Feedback Vertex Sets in Tournaments
Authors: Mao-cheng Cai, Xiaotie Deng, Wenan Zang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of forbidden structures for tournaments to possess the min-max relation on packing and covering directed cycles, together with strongly polynomial time algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem and the cycle packing problem in this class of tournaments. Applying the local ratio technique of Bar-Yehuda and Even to the forbidden structures, we find a 2.5-approximation polynomial time algorithm for the feedback vertex set problem in any tournament.

Covering indexes for branching path queries
Authors: Raghav Kaushik, Philip Bohannon, Jeffrey F Naughton, Henry F Korth
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

In this paper, we ask if the traditional relational query acceleration techniques of summary tables and covering indexes have analogs for branching path expression queries over tree- or graph-structured XML data. Our answer is yes --- the forward-and-backward index already proposed in the literature can be viewed as a structure analogous to a summary table or covering index. We also show that it is the smallest such index that covers all branching path expression queries. While this index is very general, our experiments show that it can be so large in practice as to offer little performance improvement over evaluating queries directly on the data. Likening the forward-and-backward index to a covering index on all the attributes of several tables, we devise an index definition scheme to restrict the class of branching path expressions being indexed. The resulting index structures are dramatically smaller and perform better than the full forward-and-backward index for these classes of branching path expressions. This is roughly analogous to the situation in multidimensional or OLAP workloads, in which more highly aggregated summary tables can service a smaller subset of queries but can do so at increased performance. We evaluate the performance of our indexes on both relational decompositions of XML and a native storage technique. As expected, the performance benefit of an index is maximized when the query matches the index definition.
