Stabilization of Bernoulli--Euler Beams by Means of a Pointwise Feedback Force
Authors: Kais Ammari, Marius Tucsnak
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

We study the energy decay of a Bernoulli--Euler beam which is subject to a pointwise feedback force. We show that both uniform and nonuniform energy decay may occur. The uniform or nonuniform decay depends on the boundary conditions. In the case of nonuniform decay in the energy space we give explicit polynomial decay estimates valid for regular initial data. Our method consists of deducing the decay estimates from observability inequalities for the associated undamped problem via sharp trace regularity results.

Reusing courseware components
Authors: Sergio F. Ochoa, Emilio G. Ormeño, José A. Pino
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Traditional courseware tools produce courseware with property formats. Unfortunately, these formats are incompatible among them. Therefore, the reuse of courseware material is limited to those developed with the same courseware tool. The functionality of a courseware becomes limited to that provided by a specific courseware tool. To solve these problems this paper proposes a framework of software components. The software components are JavaBeans that provide an interchangeable format among courseware tools supporting this specification. It means the components of the framework make possible to reuse courseware contents and functionality among these tools. The reuse is a very desirable practice because it could reduce the courseware development time and cost. The obtained results using the proposed framework are encouraging.

Simplification of closed triangulated surfaces using simulated annealing
Authors: Peer-Timo Bremer, Bernd Hamann, Oliver Kreylos, Franz-Erich Wolter
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

We describe a method to approximate a closed surface triangulation using simulated annealing. Our approach guarantees that all vertices and triangles in an approximating surface triangulation are within user-defined distance of the original surface triangulation. We introduce the idea of atomic envelopes to guarantee error bounds that are independent of the surface geometry. Atomic envelopes also allow approximation distance to be different for different parts of the surface. We start with the original triangulation and perturb it randomly and improve an approximating triangulation by locally changing the triangulation, using a simulated annealing algorithm. Our algorithm is not restricted to using only original vertices; the algorithm considers every point inside the envelope triangulation as a possible position. The algorithm attempts to minimize the total number of vertices needed to approximate the original surface triangulation within the prescribed error bound.

Notes toward a socially informed pedagogy for computer documentation
Authors: Stuart A. Selber
Venue: ACM Journal of Computer Documentation (JCD) (2001)

This article extends Johnson-Eilola's main argument and then, using a thought experiment, examines an extended example of its implications. The experiment follows a student who learns how to produce technical communication artifacts following the philosophy that informs most technical communication classes and that leads to production of the functional but not conceptual systems Johnson-Eilola critiques. The article concludes by recommending changes in overall curricula and in individual courses that would better educate communicators to account for the social implications of their work.
Adaptive and Efficient Algorithms for Lattice Agreement and Renaming
Authors: Hagit Attiya, Arie Fouren
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

In a shared-memory system, n independent asynchronous processes, with distinct names in the range {0, ..., N-1}, communicate by reading and writing to shared registers. An algorithm is wait-free if a process completes its execution regardless of the behavior of other processes. This paper considers wait-free algorithms whose complexity adjusts to the level of contention in the system: An algorithm is adaptive (to total contention) if its step complexity depends only on the actual number of active processes, k; this number is unknown in advance and may change in different executions of the algorithm.Adaptive algorithms are presented for two important decision problems, lattice agreement and (6k-1)-renaming; the step complexity of both algorithms is O(k log k). An interesting component of the (6k-1)-renaming algorithm is an O(N) algorithm for (2k-1)-renaming; this improves on the best previously known (2k-1)-renaming algorithm, which has O(Nnk) step complexity.The efficient renaming algorithm can be modified into an O(N) implementation of atomic snapshots using dynamic single-writer multi-reader registers. The best known implementations of atomic snapshots have step complexity O(N log N) using static single-writer multi-reader registers, and O(N) using multi-writer multi-reader registers.
A Remark on Null Exact Controllability of the Heat Equation
Authors: Xu Zhang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

It is well known that the heat equation $u_t-\Delta u=f\chi_{\omega}$ in $(0,T)\times\Omega$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is null exactly controllable for any T>0 and any open nonempty subset $\omega$ of $\Omega$. In this note we show that this property may be obtained as a singular limit of the exact controllability properties of singularly perturbed damped wave equations with a changing controller.
Virtual Reality: Scientific and Technological Challenges
Authors: National Research Council
Venue:  (1994)

:Despite widespread popular and professional interest in virtual reality, research and development efforts in synthetic environments (SE) - the field encompassing virtual environments, augmented reality, and teleoperation - have remained fragmented. Virtual Reality is the first serious, integrated treatment of the topic, presenting current knowledge from several disciplines along with thought-provoking vignettes about a future in which SE is commonplace. This volume discusses all aspects of creating a system that will allow human operators to see, hear, smell, taste, move about, give commands, respond to conditions, and manipulate objects effectively in a virtual environment. The committee of computer scientists, engineers, and psychologists on the leading edge of SE development explores the potential applications of SE in the areas of manufacturing, medicine, education, training, scientific visualization, and teleoperation in hazardous environments. The committee also charts directions for development of improved SE technology, needed studies of human behavior and evaluation of SE systems, and government policy and infrastructure.
Staging a professional participatory design practice: moving PD beyond the initial fascination of user involvement
Authors: Susanne Bødker, Ole Sejer Iversen
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

Use and users have an important and acknowledged role to most designers of interactive systems. Nevertheless any touch of user hands does not in itself secure development of meaningful artifacts. In this article we stress the need for a professional PD practice in order to yield the full potentiality of user involvement. We suggest two constituting elements of such a professional PD practice. The existence of a shared 'where-to' and 'why' artifact and an ongoing reflection and off-loop reflection among practitioners in the PD process.

Processing structure declarations with APL
Authors: Eduardo Kellerman
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1983)

APL is sometimes used for processing data that have been created as a structure defined by a Declare-statement in PL/I-related languages; particularly when the data are obtained from a file. When the structure of the data is complex, it is time-consuming manually to create APL code to break up the data into its constituent parts. This article describes a method for converting structure declarations into a form usable by APL functions.
