A unified algorithmic framework for variable-rate TDM switching assignments
Authors: Yiu Kwok Tham
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2001)

A unified algorithmic framework for time-optimal transmission scheduling is obtained for satellite-switched time-division multiple access systems with M uplink and N downlink beams. System capability may vary from the basic configuration of one carrier per beam to complex configurations of variable number of carriers for each beam and variable transmission rate for each beam. The computational complexity for time-optimal transmission scheduling remains strongly polynomial at O(M2 N2) and the number of switching configurations is at most M N + 1 for all system configurations considered.
Jiazzi: new-age components for old-fasioned Java
Authors: Sean McDirmid, Matthew Flatt, Wilson C. Hsieh
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2001)

We present Jiazzi, a system that enables the construction of large-scale binary components in Java. Jiazzi components can be thought of as generalizations of Java packages with added support for external linking and separate compilation. Jiazzi components are practical becuase they are constructed out of standard Java source code. Jiazzi requires neither extensions to the Java language nor special conventions for writing Java source code that will go inside a component. Our components are expressive becuase Jiazzi supports cyclic component linking and mixins, which are used together in an open class pattern that enables the modular addition of new features to existing classes. This paper describes Jiazzi, how it enhances Java with components, its implementation, and how type checking works. An implementation of Jiazzi is available for download.
Robust Control of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems, 1st edition
Authors: Zhihua Qu
Venue:  (1998)

:This work presents the definitive treatment of stability analysis and robust control design for nonlinear uncertain systems. While other books on the subject deal with robust control in linear systems, this is the first book to tackle robust control design for such nonlinear entities as power systems, robotics, and more. It combines examples, proofs, and applications - clearly showing how to build high performance and better control into systems that are too complex to be modeled accurately. A unique feature of this book is its, Lyapunov-based approach to control design, which is the only universal approach for nonlinear systems. For engineers and graduate students in mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering, Robust Control of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems imparts the technical know-how for effective design, explores key theoretical issues in control, and provides insight into future trends in the field.

Automated conversion from requirements documentation to an object-oriented formal specification language
Authors: Beum-Seuk Lee, Barrett R. Bryant
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

In software engineering there have been very few attempts to automate the translation from a requirements document written in a natural language (NL) to one of the formal specification languages. One of the major reasons for this challenge comes from the ambiguity of the NL requirements documentation because NL depends heavily on context. We use Contextual Natural Language Processing (CNLP) to overcome the ambiguity in NL, and Two-Level Grammar (TLG) to construct a bridge between a NL requirements specification and a formal specification in VDM++, an object-oriented extension of the Vienna Development Method. The result is a system for mapping natural language requirements documents into an object-oriented formal specification language.

An MRF-Based Approach to Generation of Super-Resolution Images from Blurred Observations
Authors: Deepu Rajan, Subhasis Chaudhuri
Venue: Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision (2002)

This paper presents a new technique for generating a high resolution image from a blurred image sequence&semi; this is also referred to as super-resolution restoration of images. The image sequence consists of decimated, blurred and noisy versions of the high resolution image. The high resolution image is modeled as a Markov random field (MRF) and a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation technique is used for super-resolution restoration. Unlike other super-resolution imaging methods, the proposed technique does not require sub-pixel registration of given observations. A simple gradient descent method is used to optimize the functional. The discontinuities in the intensity process can be preserved by introducing suitable line processes. Superiority of this technique to standard methods of image expansion like pixel replication and spline interpolation is illustrated.

Stochastic Neural Computation I: Computational Elements
Authors: Bradley D. Brown, Howard C. Card
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

This paper examines a number of stochastic computational elements employed in artificial neural networks, several of which are introduced for the first time, together with an analysis of their operation. We briefly include multiplication, squaring, addition, subtraction, and division circuits in both unipolar and bipolar formats, the principles of which are well-known, at least for unipolar signals. We have introduced several modifications to improve the speed of the division operation. The primary contribution of this paper, however, is in introducing several state machine-based computational elements for performing sigmoid nonlinearity mappings, linear gain, and exponentiation functions. We also describe an efficient method for the generation of, and conversion between, stochastic and deterministic binary signals. The validity of the present approach is demonstrated in a companion paper through a sample application, the recognition of noisy optical characters using soft competitive learning. Network generalization capabilities of the stochastic network maintain a squared error within 10 percent of that of a floating-point implementation for a wide range of noise levels. While the accuracy of stochastic computation may not compare favorably with more conventional binary radix-based computation, the low circuit area, power, and speed characteristics may, in certain situations, make them attractive for VLSI implementation of artificial neural networks.
