Abstracts of the Seventh Spanish Meeting on Computer Algebra and Applications: EACA-2001
Authors: Julio Rubio
Venue: ACM SIGSAM Bulletin (2001)

This is the collection of the abstracts of the talks given during the EACA-2001, the Seventh Spanish Meeting on Computer Algebra and Applications held in Ezcaray (La Rioja, Spain) on September 12-14, 2001.The main goal of the EACA-Meetings is to provide a forum for researchers from Computer Algebra and researchers that essentially use these techniques in their investigation. As in previous events of the series (Santander 1995, Sevilla 1996, Granada 1997, Sig&uuml;enza 1998, Tenerife 1999 and Barcelona 2000), participation of young researchers was specially encouraged.
A web-based evaluation system for CBIR
Authors: Henning Müller, Wolfgang Müller, David Squire
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 ACM workshops on Multimedia: multimedia information retrieval (2001)

This papers describes a benchmark test for content-based image retrieval systems (CBIRSs) with the query by example (QBE) query paradigm. This benchmark is accessible via the Internet and thus allows to evaluate any CBIRS which is compliant with Multimedia Retrieval Markup Language (MRML) for query formulation and result transmission. Thus it allows a quick and easy comparison between different features and algorithms for CBIRSs. The benchmark is based on a standardized communication protocol to do the communication between benchmark server and benchmarked system and it uses a freely downloadable image database (DB) to make the results reproducible. A CBIR system that uses MRML and other components to develop MRML-based applications can be downloaded free of charge as well. The evaluation is based on several queries and known relevance sets for these queries. Several answer sets for one query image are possible if judgments of several users exist, thus almost any sort of judgment can be incorporated into the system. The final results are averaged over all queries. The evaluation of several steps of relevance feedback (RF) based on the collected relevance judgments is also included into the benchmark. The performance of RF is often regarded to be even more important than the performance in the first query step because only with RF the adaptation of the system to the users subjective goal can be measured. For the evaluation of a system with RF, the same evaluation measures are used as for the first query step.

Efficient algorithms for MPEG video comrpession
Authors: Dzung Tien Hoang, Jeffrey Scott Vitter
Venue: Wiley Series In Telecommunications And Signal Processing (2002)

Video compression is a topic of increasing importance in a world where multimedia technologies and massive data sets are threatening to overflow the capacity of even the most powerful of today's computers. Internet as well as business applications such as videoconferencing, video-on-demand, and digital cable television all use compression techniques, either to decrease the required bandwidth for an application or to send more data through a bottleneck in the system. Buffering is used at both ends of the transmission to make the communication less "bursty." The interplay between compression and buffer control algorithms in order to address these performance problems and maintain high visual clarity has shown great results, and Efficient Algorithms for MPEG Video Compression is the first book dedicated to the subject. The authors, both experts in the field of compression technologies and algorithm design, present some of the most promising algorithms for converting raw data to a compressed form for efficient broadcast
The Digital Dialectic: New Essays on New Media
Authors: Peter Lunenfeld
Venue:  (2000)

:The Digital Diolectic is an interdisciplinary jam session about our visual and intellectual cultures as the computer recodes technologies, media, and art forms. Unlike purely academic texts on new media, the book includes contributions by scholars, artists, and entrepreneurs, who combine theoretical investigations with hands-on analysis of the possibilities (and limitations) of new technology. The key concept is the digital dialectic: a method to ground the insights of theory in the constraints of practice. The essays move beyond journalistic reportage and hype into serious but accessible discussion of new technologies, new media, and new cultural forms.

Communication by neural control
Authors: Karen Carroll, Cynthia Schlag, Omur Kirikci, Melody Moore
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

People who are completely paralyzed are able to control a computer using technology which harnesses brain signals. This paper describes research in developing a system to allow such a person to communicate. We gathered and analyzed data on the communicative needs of our users, finding that style and content of interactions vary according to the role of the person with whom the user is communicating.
Incremental delay change due to crosstalk noise
Authors: Lauren Hui Chen, Malgorzata Marek-Sadowska
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Physical design (2002)

In this paper we present efficient closed-form formulas to estimate the incremental delay change induced by capacitive interconnect coupling. We also analyze temporal correlations among switching signals and develop criteria for timing win¿dow alignment. Our approximations are conservative and yet achieve acceptable accuracy. The formulas are simple enough to be used in the inner loops of static timing analysis.

Context-agile encryption for high speed communication networks
Authors: Lyndon G. Pierson, Edward L. Witzke, Mark O. Bean, Gerry J. Trombley
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (1999)

Different applications have different security requirements for data privacy, data integrity, and authentication. Encryption is one technique that addresses these requirements. Encryption hardware, designed for use in high-speed communications networks, can satisfy a wide variety of security requirements if the hardware implementation is key-agile, key length-agile, mode-agile, and algorithm-agile. Hence, context-agile encryption provides enhanced solutions to the secrecy, interoperability, and quality of service issues in high-speed networks. Moreover, having a single context-agile encryptor at an ATM aggregation point (such as a firewall) reduces hardware and administrative costs. While single-algorithm, key-agile encryptors exist, encryptors that are agile in a cryptographic robustness sense, are still research topics.

Join and capture: a model for nomadic interaction
Authors: Dan R. Olsen,  Jr., S. Travis Nielsen, David Parslow
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

The XWeb architecture delivers interfaces to a wide variety of interactive platforms. XWeb's SUBSCRIBE mechanism allows multiple interactive clients to synchronize with each other. We define the concept of Join as the mechanism for acquiring access to a service's interface. Join also allows the formation of spontaneous collaborations with other people. We define the concept of Capture as the means for users to assemble suites of interactive resources to apply to a particular problem. These mechanisms allow users to access devices that they encounter in their environment rather than carrying all their devices with them. We describe two prototype implementations of Join and Capture. One uses a Java ring to carry a user's identification and to make connections. The other uses a set of cameras to watch where users are and what they touch. Lastly we present algorithms for resolving conflicts generated when independent interactive clients manipulate the same information.

Determining if (FC-) (conflict-directed) back jumping visits a given node is NP-hard
Authors: Bernd S.W. Schröder
Venue: Artificial Intelligence (2001)

Conflict-directed back jumping is a modification of the backtracking algorithm that can outperform forward checking in non-pathological examples. We prove it is in general NP-hard to determine if back jumping or conflict-directed back jumping or their forward checking hybrids visit a given node of a search space. This shows that these algorithms are fundamentally more complex to analyze than backtracking and forward checking. We conclude by describing how similar results can e proved for versions of the Maintaining Arc Consistency algorithm. 001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserve.
