Automatic query expansion based on divergence
Authors: D. Cai, C. J. van Rijsbergen, J. M. Jose
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

In this paper we are mainly concerned with discussion of a formal model, based on the basic concept of divergence from information theory, for automatic query expansion. The basic principles and ideas on which our study is based are described. A theoretical framework is established, which allows the comparison and evaluation of different term scoring functions for identifying good terms for query expansion. The approaches proposed in this paper have been implemented and evaluated on collections from TREC. Preliminary results show that our approaches are viable and worthy of continued investigation.

Two studies of subjects' ability to specify sample computations for a program synthesis system
Authors: Frederick E. Petry
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

A system which has been previously developed for synthesizing programs from traces of example calculations is briefly described. With this system a person uses a light-pen interactive display for communication of his algorithm. He would first declare variables and data structures which would appear on the screen and then work through the steps for a calculation using the screen and light-pen in a scratch-pad fashion. A program is then produced by the system from the observed trace of the calculation.After such a system was created, it had to be tested to see how effective it is for human use. Two basic questions needed answering, first the ease with which the system would be learned and secondly how it compares for experienced users to other means for communicating algorithms such as programming. The results of experiments carried out to answer these questions are then given and discussed.

World wide failures
Authors: Werner Vogels
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

The one issue that unites almost all approaches to distributed computing is the need to know whether certain components in the system have failed or are otherwise unavailable. When designing and building systems that need to function at a global scale, failure management needs to be considered a fundamental building block. This paper describes the development of a system-independent failure management service, which allows systems and applications to incorporate accurate detection of failed processes, nodes and networks, without the need for making compromises in their particular design.

Proximal support vector machine classifiers
Authors: Glenn Fung, Olvi L. Mangasarian
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Instead of a standard support vector machine (SVM) that classifies points by assigning them to one of two disjoint half-spaces, points are classified by assigning them to the closest of two parallel planes (in input or feature space) that are pushed apart as far as possible. This formulation, which can also be interpreted as regularized least squares and considered in the much more general context of regularized networks [8, 9], leads to an extremely fast and simple algorithm for generating a linear or nonlinear classifier that merely requires the solution of a single system of linear equations. In contrast, standard SVMs solve a quadratic or a linear program that require considerably longer computational time. Computational results on publicly available datasets indicate that the proposed proximal SVM classifier has comparable test set correctness to that of standard SVM classifiers, but with considerably faster computational time that can be an order of magnitude faster. The linear proximal SVM can easily handle large datasets as indicated by the classification of a 2 million point 10-attribute set in 20.8 seconds. All computational results are based on 6 lines of MATLAB code.

Digital Control, 1st edition
Authors: Richard J. Vaccaro
Venue:  (1995)

:This book is aimed at senior-level engineering students and can also used by graduate students and practicing engineers whose experience has been limited to continuous-time theory and want to see how discrete-time systems are designed and/or have only seen classical design tools and want to learn modern state-space design tools. The increasing use of digital technology in control and signal processing increases the importance of analysis and synthesis tools for discrete-time systems. The appropriate tool for studying state-space models of discrete-time systems is linear algebra. Although most students take a course in linear algebra,they are not usually exposed to advanced engineering applications in such a course. The material found in this text equips students to analyze and design discrete-time (digital) systems and shows how linear algebra and state-space system theory are used to design digital control systems.

Learning C++: A Hands-on Approach, 2nd edition
Authors: Eric P. Nagler
Venue:  (1996)

:This hands-on introduction to C++ programming uses a learn-by-example method. Most of the more than 400 examples are short and easily understood at first viewing. The book serves as the student's classroom notes, a tutorial, and a reference. The Second Edition covers the Borland 5.0 C++ compiler, but almost all of the examples are platform-independent. LEARNING C++ employs a careful and steady progression of skills and concepts, going beyond the level of detail of most C++ books. A thorough knowledge of the C language is the recommended prerequisite. The first five chapters show the reader how to make a smooth transition from C to C++, including explanations of iostream methods, default function arguments, reference variables, and heap management. From here classes are introduced, leading into more advanced topics such as operator overloading, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, and runtime type identification.
Automating software module testing for FAA certification
Authors: Usha Santhanam
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 annual ACM SIGAda international conference on Ada (2001)

Structural testing, also called code-based or white-box testing, is performed for the purpose of exercising the code thoroughly. The code coverage measurements are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the test cases toward this goal. Manual, code-based testing is cumbersome and time-consuming. Automation provides help in selecting test data, applying those test cases to the software, and deciding whether a program has been tested enough by providing coverage metrics. This paper describes an automated module testing process for software written in Ada using a tool set called Test Set Editor (TSE). TSE consists of a proprietary set of programs which work in combination with Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program and home grown test scripts written in Tcl/tk. Use of the tool set is shown to yield significant cost savings in constructing structural tests needed to satisfy FAA certification requirements for safety-critical software.

Authors: Abraham Kandel
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual Southeast regional conference (1979)

The theory of fuzzy switching functions described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets and to the treatment of switching circuits in the binary world. In this paper we are concerned with the study of such imprecise mechanisms, their properties, and possible applications. The enumeration of the number of distinct fuzzy switching functions will be addressed as well as minimization and simplification procedures.
Similarity and compatibility in fuzzy set theory: assessment and applications
Authors: Valerie V. Cross, Thomas A. Sudkamp
Venue:  (2002)

Assessing the degree to which two objects, an object and a query, or two concepts are similar or compatible is a fundamental component of human reasoning and consequently is critical in the development of automated diagnosis, classification, information retrieval and decision systems. The assessment of similarity has played an important role in such diverse disciplines such as taxonomy, psychology, and the social sciences. Each discipline has proposed methods for quantifying similarity judgments suitable for its particular applications. This book presents a unified approach to quantifying similarity and compatibility within the framework of fuzzy set theory and examines the primary importance of these concepts in approximate reasoning. Examples of the application of similarity measures in various areas including expert systems, information retrieval, and intelligent database systems are provided.
