Strong T-Perfection of Bad-K4-Free Graphs
Authors: Alexander Schrijver
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

We show that each graph not containing a bad subdivision of -K4 as a subgraph is strongly t-perfect. Here a graph G=(V,E) is strongly t-perfect if, for each weight function $w:V\to\mathbb{Z}_+$, the maximum weight of a stable set is equal to the minimum (total) cost of a family of vertices, edges, and circuits covering any vertex v at least w(v) times. By definition, the cost of a vertex or edge is 1, and the cost of a circuit C is $\lfloor\frac{1}{2}|VC|\rfloor$. A subdivision of K4 is called bad if each triangle has become an odd circuit and if it is not obtained by making the edges in a 4-circuit of K4. evenly subdivided, while the other two edges are not subdivided.The theorem generalizes earlier results of Gerards [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 47 (1989), pp. 330--348] on the strong t-perfection of odd-K4-free graphs and of Gerards and Shepherd [SIAM J. Discrete Math., 11 (1998), pp. 524--545] on the t-perfection of bad-K4-free graphs.
On the covariance between functions
Authors: C. M. Cuadras
Venue: Journal of Multivariate Analysis (2002)

The covariance between the functions of two random variables is obtained in terms of the cumulative distribution function. This result generalizes previous formulae given by W. Hoeffding (1940, Schriften Math. Inst. Univ. Berlin 5, 181-233) and K. V. Mardia (1967, Biometrika 54, 235-249). An expansion for the covariance, an inequality, a maximum correlation and other consequences are obtained from this generalization.

Employing hierarchical federation communities in the virtual ship architecture
Authors: Anthony Cramp, Michael Oudshoorn
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

This paper discusses work underway to develop a framework for the use of hierarchical federation communities as a tool for distributed simulation. The Virtual Ship Project is the application driving the development of the framework. The specific problem within the Virtual Ship Project is one of having to filter unwanted data. It is expected that a hierarchical federation community structure will implicitly provide the necessary data filtering.There are two main goals in establishing hierarchical federation communities as a simulation tool. The first is in the implementation of a communication structure that provides the necessary functionality for performing simulations. The second goal is a distribution framework for autonomously distributing the components of the distributed simulation, executing the simulation and returning results. Initial frameworks for these two goals are presented in the paper. The paper also presents some initial work in the development of the communication framework for hierarchical federation communities.

Decidability of EDT0L structural equivalence
Authors: Kai Salomaa, Sheng Yu
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We show that a tree pushdown automaton can verify, for an arbitrary nondeterministically constructed structure tree t, that t does not correspond to any valid derivation of a given EDT0L grammar. In this way we reduce the structural equivalence problem for EDT0L grammars to deciding emptiness of the tree language recognized by a tree pushdown automaton, i.e., to the emptiness problem for context-free tree languages. Thus we establish that structural equivalence for EDT0L grammars can be decided effectively. The result contrasts the known undecidability result for ET0L structural equivalence.

Query processing strategies in the PASCAL/R relational database management system
Authors: Matthias Jarke, Joachim W. Schmidt
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

In the database language PASCAL/R, the programming language PASCAL and concepts based on the relational data model are integrated. The paper investigates transformation strategies used in the PASCAL/R system to evaluate queries with existential and universal quantifiers. Intermediate data structures are described using a high-level language tool called a reference to a selected variable. The predicate calculus approach used in PASCAL/R offers new insight into recently proposed query optimization techniques and allows some of them to be extended.

Multiresolution rendering by sewing trimmed NURBS surfaces
Authors: Ferenc Kahlesz, Ákos Balázs, Reinhard Klein
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

Most of the industrial parts are designed as trimmed NURBS. For their efficient rendering multiresolution models are needed. To create such models without artifacts at the trimming curves, one needs to sew parts together along the common boundaries. Due to the problem of determining the geometric places in 3D space along the trimming curves where sewing should be done, current approaches need to have a priori neighbourhood information of the patches and this way they do not provide an automatic solution to create large connected models just from a set of surfaces. In this paper we describe a method, which automatically determines common boundaries of trimmed NURBS surfaces and sews along them. Such a method provides us a non-manifold or manifold structure, which can be handled using standard multi-resolution techniques. Several examples of industrial data demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of our new method. The introduced techniques will also be included into the OpenSG scenegraph API [8] as the basic tool for NURBS rendering.
Consequences of the engineering approach to technical writing
Authors: Bob Waite
Venue: ACM Journal of Computer Documentation (JCD) (2002)

In a series of publications, Edmond Weiss describes the change in both programming and technical writing from an artistic craft to an engineering discipline. The change brought numerous benefits to the users and readers, to the programmers and writers, and to the companies they work for. In exchange for those benefits, Weiss says, writers had to give up control over the content and format of the documentation. They also lost the esthetic pride of creating a work of art and the personal satisfaction of teaching and protecting the reader. Weiss anticipates a future in which technical documentation is generated automatically and the technical documentor's job is merely to feed information databases. In the conclusion, I note a few differences of opinion, but overall I agree with Weiss's view.
Rendering of large and complex urban environments for real time heritage reconstructions
Authors: J. Willmott, L. I. Wright, D. B. Arnold, A. M. Day
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

In this paper we describe a rendering package, which brings together a number of rendering techniques and optimisations to render large and complex urban environments at interactive frame rates. The package has been built on top of a proprietary Scene Graph structure developed for the CHARISMATIC project. The paper presents an integrated approach combining Real-time Optionally Adapting Meshes, View Frustum Culling, Occluder Shadows, Level of Detail for Houses and Motion Captured Avatars in a single application.We discuss the performance issues associated with our approaches and give comprehensive implementation details. We also consider implications of the trends in high performance graphics sub-systems for PCs in the context of data types and animations required for populated interactive virtual heritage experiences. Finally we present empirical results to demonstrate the importance of employing such techniques and the implications for practical virtual heritage applications.
Mining the Web: Transforming Customer Data into Customer Value
Authors: Gordon S. Linoff, Michael J. Berry
Venue:  (2002)

:Web sites gather a lot of detailed information about customers. Unfortunately, most companies lack the know-how to capitalize on this information in order to improve their marketing and customer support functions. Considered by most experts to be the new frontier in the database and data warehousing fields, data mining can help change all this. Data mining techniques can be applied to the Web with results that can lead to more efficient and successful advertising campaigns, better customer service, and, ultimately, increased profits. Written by two bestselling data mining authors, Mining the Web shows you how to identify your most profitable customers, attract them, and, most importantly, keep them coming back. Linoff and Berry review specific data mining and analysis techniques for monitoring customer behavior and explain how to conduct marketing tests to better understand customers.
Efficient integration of multi-hop wireless and wired networks with QoS constraints
Authors: Yigal Bejerano
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

This work considers the problem of designing an efficient and low-cost infrastructure for connecting static multi-hop wireless networks with wired backbone, while ensuring QoS requirements such as bandwidth and delay. This infrastructure is useful for designing low cost and fast deployed access networks in rural and suburban areas. It may also be used for providing access to sensor networks or for efficient facility placement in wireless networks. In these networks some nodes are chosen as access points and function as gateways to access a wired backbone. Each access point serves a cluster of its nearby user and a spanning tree rooted at the access point is used for message delivery. The work addresses both the design optimization and the operation aspects of the system. From the design perspective, we seek for a partition of the network nodes into minimal number of disjoint clusters that satisfy multiple constraints; Each cluster is required to be a connected graph with an upper bound on its radius. We assume that each node has a weight (representing its bandwidth requirement) and the total weight of all cluster nodes is also bounded. We show that these clustering requirements can be formulated as an instance of the Capacitated Facility Location problem (CFLP) with additional constraints. By breaking the problem into two sub-problems and solving each one separately, we propose polynomial time approximation algorithms that calculate solutions within a constant factor of the optimal ones. From the operation viewpoint, we introduce an adaptive delivery mechanism that maximizes the throughput of each cluster without violating the QoS constraints.

Fundamentals of M-vague algebra and M-vague arithmetic operations
Authors: Mustafa Demirci
Venue: International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems (2002)

In the present work, the development of a new and general theory of algebraic concepts based on *-fuzzy equalities and strong fuzzy functions is begun, and several fundamental results are established under the name M-vague algebra. As a natural implementation of the M-vague algebraic approach, new kinds of arithmetic operations, namely M-vague arithmetic operations, are introduced using an approach different from the traditional approach to fuzzy arithmetic operations, and various kinds of M-vague algebraic properties of M-vague arithmetic operations are investigated.
