Capability maturity models support of modeling and simulation verification, validation, and accreditation
Authors: Candace L. Conwell, Rosemary Enright, Marcia A. Stutzman
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Both government and industry are involved in the acquisition and development of modeling and simulation (M&S) products. The effectiveness and maturity of an organization's acquisition process directly affect the cost, schedule, and quality of the M&S products that are delivered to the user. When M&S program sponsors implement best practices throughout acquisition, critical verification, and validation (V&V) tasks can be conducted without inordinate cost. Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 5000.61 on M&S Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) directs that M&S systems used for acquisition decisions will be verified, validated, and accredited (DoDI 1996). However, many M&S users are attempting to implement VV&A processes for legacy M&S systems that lack documentation and are finding the costs unsupportable. The Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has described processes involved in implementing and measuring capability in software acquisition and development. These Capability Maturity Models ((CMM) and Capability Maturity Model are trademarks registered by Carnegie Mellon University) when applied together ensure that the acquisition process is in place before the software development process is implemented. This paper discusses how the use of these two CMMs can improve DoDs ability to develop M&S with the customer's need for VV&A in mind.

Optimizing the end-to-end performance of reliable flows over wireless links
Authors: Reiner Ludwig, Almudena Konrad, Anthony D. Joseph, Randy H. Katz
Venue: Wireless Networks (2002)

Pure end-to-end error recovery fails as a general solution to optimize throughput when wireless links form parts of the end-to-end path. It can lead to decreased end-to-end throughput, an unfair load on best-effort networks, and a waste of valuable radio resources. Link layer error recovery over wireless links is essential for reliable flows to avoid these problems. We demonstrate this through an analysis of a large set of block erasure traces measured in different real-world radio environments, with both stationary and mobile hosts. Our analysis is based on a case study of the circuit-switched data service implemented in GSM. We show that the throughput on this wireless channel can be increased by using a larger (fixed) frame size for the reliable link layer protocol. This yields an improvement of up to 25% when the channel quality is good and 18% even under poor radio conditions. Our results suggest that adaptive frame length control could further increase the channel throughput. Finally, we discuss link and transport layer error control mechanisms and their interactions with end-to-end congestion control schemes. For reliable flows, we argue in favor of highly persistent error recovery and lossless handover schemes implemented at the link layer.
American Internet Advantage: Global Themes and Implications of the Modern World
Authors: Michael Hart
Venue:  (2000)

:The American Internet Advantage examines reasons for and implications of U.S. dominance in the Internet business. The development of Internet technology, the comparative study of its uses in the U.S. and Europe, and the unanticipated consequences of political decisions and technological programs suggest that the role of government planning pales in significance to the complexity of the modern global order being shaped by the Internet through the confluence and clash of various interests. The future of this new global society is unpredictable, but strong ideological commitments and pragmatism may spell the difference between disaster and success for positive social change. While particularly appealing to scholars and graduate students in international political economy, comparative politics, and history of technology, the educated general public will also find this book readable and interesting.Author Biography: Michael Hart is a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at California State University at Long Beach.

A framework to provide integrated online documentation
Authors: Sogo Tsuji, Yoshikazu Yamamoto
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

As the variety of software users is increasing widely, online help systems are required to provide appropriate information for users. It means the help documents are suited to users' knowledge and the context in users' accesses. This paper addresses how online help systems can meet these requirements, and proposes a design framework called SOF Scenario-based Online help Framework).In SOF, we introduce our proposed scenario-based design of help documents. The scenario is a meta-model of the help document and contains information about the structure and behavior of the document. Therefore, the scenario-based design of help documents can achieve context-sensitive interaction between the system and a user depending on his/her knowledge level.This paper also demonstrates that SOF can be used to meet these demands placed upon online help systems, and includes a prototype system named Fit (Flexible Information Tailor). SOF makes it easy to develop adaptive online help systems.

Efficient Parallel Execution of Irregular Recursive Programs
Authors: Lutz Prechelt, Stefan U. Hánßgen
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

Programs whose parallelism stems from multiple recursion form an interesting subclass of parallel programs with many practical applications. The highly irregular shape of many recursion trees makes it difficult to obtain good load balancing with small overhead. We present a system, called REAPAR, that executes recursive C programs in parallel on SMP machines. Based on data from a single profiling run of the program, REAPAR selects a load-balancing strategy that is both effective and efficient and it generates parallel code implementing that strategy. The performance obtained by REAPAR on a diverse set of benchmarks matches that published for much more complex systems requiring high-level problem-oriented explicitly parallel constructs. A case study even found REAPAR to be competitive to handwritten (low-level, machine-oriented) thread-parallel code.

The 3D visibility complex
Authors: Frédo Durand, George Drettakis, Claude Puech
Venue: ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) (2002)

Visibility problems are central to many computer graphics applications. The most common examples include hidden-part removal for view computation, shadow boundaries, mutual visibility of objects for lighting simulation. In this paper, we present a theoretical study of 3D visibility properties for scenes of smooth convex objects. We work in the space of light rays, or more precisely, of maximal free segments. We group segments that "see" the same object; this defines the 3D visibility complex. The boundaries of these groups of segments correspond to the visual events of the scene (limits of shadows, disappearance of an object when the viewpoint is moved, etc.). We provide a worst case analysis of the complexity of the visibility complex of 3D scenes, as well as a probabilistic study under a simple assumption for "normal" scenes. We extend the visibility complex to handle temporal visibility. We give an output-sensitive construction algorithm and present applications of our approach.

Prioritizing Test Cases For Regression Testing
Authors: Gregg Rothermel, Roland J. Untch, Chengyun Chu
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2001)

Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases for execution in an order that attempts to increase their effectiveness at meeting some performance goal. Various goals are possible; one involves rate of fault detection¿a measure of how quickly faults are detected within the testing process. An improved rate of fault detection during testing can provide faster feedback on the system under test and let software engineers begin correcting faults earlier than might otherwise be possible. One application of prioritization techniques involves regression testing¿the retesting of software following modifications; in this context, prioritization techniques can take advantage of information gathered about the previous execution of test cases to obtain test case orderings. In this paper, we describe several techniques for using test execution information to prioritize test cases for regression testing, including: 1) techniques that order test cases based on their total coverage of code components, 2) techniques that order test cases based on their coverage of code components not previously covered, and 3) techniques that order test cases based on their estimated ability to reveal faults in the code components that they cover. We report the results of several experiments in which we applied these techniques to various test suites for various programs and measured the rates of fault detection achieved by the prioritized test suites, comparing those rates to the rates achieved by untreated, randomly ordered, and optimally ordered suites. Analysis of the data shows that each of the prioritization techniques studied improved the rate of fault detection of test suites, and this improvement occurred even with the least expensive of those techniques. The data also shows, however, that considerable room remains for improvement. The studies highlight several cost-benefit trade-offs among the techniques studied, as well as several opportunities for future work.

Authors: Bill Thomas, Scott Tilley
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

Software engineers rely on program documentation as an aid in understanding the functional nature, high-level design, and implementation details of complex applications. However, no one really knows what types of documentation are truly useful to software engineers to aid system understanding. This workshop focuses on issues related to this fundamental problem, such as what formats the documentation should take, who should produce it, and when. The juxtaposition of a technical communication audience with software engineering researchers and practitioners will provide new insights into the problem.
