A work of art: creating a site/classroom build from scratch
Authors: Bert Valenzuela
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

Creating a master build configuration for a computer lab and/or classroom is a major undertaking. At first, it seems overwhelming: not to mention, time consuming. To help with this, Arizona State University East Information Technology (ASUE IT) would like to share their process for creating this work of art.The process for creating a site build (in brief) is:<ol>Write a project plan with objectives and timelines (optional).Plan your build by mapping out what server shares, printers, and other resources you're going to use and which server(s) they will reside on.Create the shares on the servers.Organize all your tools in specified places (admin utilities, frequently used files).Map, write, and document your scripts (startup, login, logoff, and shutdown).Develop and document your profile strategy (Do you use a mandatory, dynamic, or default user based profile? Where are they served from?)Create a build document to make a record of your OS and application installations.Install the operating system and your applications. Back up regularly.Test and make available for testing.Get feedback on the test configuration.Polish your build, scripts, and other items (i.e. group policy.)</olBy following an established process when creating a lab/classroom build, the development process will go faster and there will be fewer surprise items after deployment. This paper will discuss each of the above steps in detail.

Meta-Patterns and Higher Order Meta-Patterns in Cellular Systems
Authors: Philip Van Loocke
Venue: Artificial Intelligence Review (2001)

A new method for function approximation and classification in cellular systems is developed. The solution of a function approximation or a classification problem does not correspond to a connection matrix, but to a pattern in a cellular automaton. The pattern is obtained by a procedure of chaotic growth. It acts as a map between input- and ouput-patterns, and in this sense it is a meta-pattern. It is shown that problems with symmetry are typically solved by fractal patterns with aesthetic attractiveness. Also meta-meta-patterns are introduced, which are patterns that solve sets of problems instead of a single problem. Such patterns specify sets of sets of couples of input- and ouput-patterns. This schema is generalized straightforwardly for higher order meta-patterns.

An optimization framework for web farm configuration
Authors: David Bartholomew Stewart, Efstathios Papaefstathiou, Jonathan Hardwick
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

A common problem that sales consultants face in the field is the selection of an appropriate hardware and software configuration for web farms. Over-provisioning means that the tender will be expensive while under-provisioning will lead to a configuration that does not meet the customer criteria. Indy is a performance modeling environment which allows developers to create custom modeling applications. We have constructed an Indy-based application for defining web farm workloads and topologies. The paper presents an optimization framework that allows the consultant to easily find configurations that meet customers' criteria. The system searches the solution space creating possible configurations, using the web farm models to predict their performance. The optimization tool is then employed to select an optimal configuration. Rather than using a fixed algorithm, the framework provides an infrastructure for implementing multiple optimization algorithms. In this way, the appropriate algorithm can be selected to match the requirements of different types of problem. The framework incorporates a number of novel techniques, including caching results between problem runs, an XML based configuration language, and an effective method of comparing configurations. We have applied the system to a typical web farm configuration problem and results have been obtained for three standard optimization algorithms.
The document concept in a data base
Authors: I. Kowarski, M. Lopez
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

This paper presents the data model and basic features of a data base management system including text as a data type family and document as a data base concept used to describe texts. A document is composed of a written text associated whith data needed in order to manipulate it within an organisation. Texts are described with a tree structure and parameters permitting to adapt them to a wide number of applications. Besides the usual facilities of DBMSs this system includes the production of formatted texts, mailing procedures and information retrieval based on keywords contained in the text. A prototype of the system has been developed as an extension of the DBMS SOCRATE on a Solar 16/65 minicomputer. A final goal of this research is the design and implementation of a generalized DBMS integrating concepts from classical data bases and office systems.This paper presents a research project accomplished in cooperation with the SEMS, ECA-Automation and DAP companies on one hand, and the IMAG laboratory on the other. It was financed by the SEMS contract no.511/81.1.1 and by the Agence de l'Informatique contract no.81/206.
Carrier arrays: an idiom-preserving extension to APL
Authors: P. Geoffrey Lowney
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1981)

The idiomatic APL programming style is limited by the constraints of a rectangular, homogeneous array as a data structure. Non-scalar data is difficult to represent and manipulate, and the non-scalar APL functions have no uniform extension to higher rank arrays. The carrier array is an extension to APL which addresses these limitations while preserving the economical APL style. A carrier array is a ragged array with an associated partition which allows functions to be applied to subarrays in parallel. The primitive functions are given base definitions on scalars and vectors, and they are extended to higher rank arrays by uniform application mechanisms. Carrier arrays also allow the last dimensions of an array to be treated as a single datum; the primitive functions are given extended definitions on scalars and vectors of this non-scalar data.This paper defines the carrier array and gives the accompanying changes to the definitions of the APL primitive functions. Examples of programming with carrier arrays are presented, and implementation issues are discussed.

IFO: a formal semantic database model
Authors: Serge Abiteboul, Richard Hull
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

A new, formally defined database model is introduced which combines fundamental principles of "semantic" database modeling in a coherent fashion. The model provides mechanisms for representing structured objects and functional and ISA relationships between them. It is anticipated that the model can serve as the foundation for a theoretical investigation into a wide variety of fundamental issues concerning the logical representation of data in databases. Preliminary applications of the model include an efficient algorithm for computing the set of object types which can occur in a given entity set, even in the presence of a complex set of ISA relationships. The model can also be applied to precisely articulate "good" design policies.

New control structures in APL?
Authors: F. H. D. van Batenburg
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1982)

A recurring subject of new proposals is implementation of the control structures seen in conventional languages:---statement grouping---conditional execution, simple (IF-statement) and compound (IF-ELSE and CASE constructions)---loopsIt is however not self-evident that there is an equally great need for each of them. This paper proposes to modify the question "do we need control structures in APL" into, "Which of the generally employed control structures do we need, like, or leave?" Based on the criteria:---clarity in showing scope of effect---suppression of detail in favor of overall aim---sufficient frequency of useit will be shown that some control structures are needed and others are not.

Words and forbidden factors
Authors: F. Mignosi, A. Restivo, M. Sciortino
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

Given a finite or infinite word v, we consider the set M(v) of minimal forbidden factors of v. We show that the set M(v) is of fundamental importance in determining the structure of the word v. In the case of a finite word w we consider two parameters that are related to the size of M(w): the first counts the minimal forbidden factors of w and the second gives the length of the longest minimal forbidden factor of w. We derive sharp upper and lower bounds for both parameters. We prove also that the second parameter is related to the minimal period of the word w. We are further interested to the algorithmic point of view. Indeed, we design linear time algorithm for the following two problems: (i) given w, construct the set M(w) and, conversely, (ii) given M(w), reconstruct the word w. In the case of an infinite word x, we consider the following two functions: gx that counts, for each n, the allowed factors of x of length n and fx that counts, for each n, the minimal forbidden factors of x of length n. We address the following general problem: what information about the structure of x can be derived from the pair (gx,fx)? We prove that these two functions characterize, up to the automorphism exchanging the two letters, the language of factors of each single infinite Sturmian word.
A dimensionality reduction approach to modeling protein flexibility
Authors: Miguel L. Teodoro, George N. Phillips,  Jr., Lydia E. Kavraki
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth annual international conference on Computational biology (2002)

Proteins are involved either directly or indirectly in all biological processes in living organisms. It is now widely accepted that conformational changes of proteins can critically affect their ability to bind other molecules and that any progress in modeling protein motion and flexibility will contribute to the understanding of key biological functions. However, modeling protein flexibility has proven a very difficult task. Experimental laboratory methods such as X-ray crystallography produce rather few structures, while computational methods such as Molecular Dynamics are too slow for routine use with large systems. A medium sized protein typically has a few thousands of degrees of freedom. This paper shows how to obtain a reduced basis representation of protein flexibility. We use the Principal Component Analysis method, a dimensionality reduction technique, to transform the original high dimensional representation of protein motion into a lower dimensional representation that captures the dominant modes of motions of the protein. Although there is inevitably some loss in accuracy, we show that we can obtain conformations that have been observed in laboratory experiments, starting from different initial conformations and working in a drastically reduced search space.
