Building enterprise portals: principles to practice
Authors: Tushar K. Hazra
Venue: Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering (2002)

Primary objective of this paper is to offer an exclusive view of constructing and deploying enterprise portals by using a component-based development approach. As the dot-com hype dies down, most companies are forced to revisit their enterprise-wide Web integration strategies. This paper offers a pragmatic roadmap that these companies may follow in their upcoming enterprise portal deployment initiatives.The academic world plays a significant role in the advances of the portal technology. In this paper, we address the challenges faced in building enterprise portals as a new principle of software engineering. We also explain how the academia will play a significant role in meeting most of these challenges.

Compact factors of countable state Markov shifts
Authors: Doris Fiebig, Ulf-Rainer Fiebig
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We study continuous shift commuting maps from transitive countable state Markov shifts into compact subshifts. The closure of the image is a coded system. On the other hand, any coded system is the surjective image of some transitive Markov shift, which may be chosen locally compact by construction. These two results yield a formal analogy to "the transitive sofic systems are the subshift factors of transitive shifts of finite type". Then we consider factor maps which have bounded coding length in some graph presentation (label maps). Now the image has to be synchronized, but not every synchronized system can be obtained in this way. We show various restrictions for a surjective label map to exis
A Multigrid Method Based on the Unconstrained Product Space for Mortar Finite Element Discretizations
Authors: Barbara I. Wohlmuth, Rolf H. Krause
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

The mortar finite element method allows the coupling of different discretizations across subregion boundaries. In the original mortar approach, the Lagrange multiplier space enforcing a weak continuity condition at the interfaces is defined as a modified finite element trace space. Here we present a new approach, where the Lagrange multiplier space is replaced by a dual space without losing the optimality of the a priori bounds. We introduce new dual spaces in 2D and 3D. Using the biorthogonality between the nodal basis functions of this Lagrange multiplier space and a finite element trace space, we derive an equivalent symmetric positive definite variational problem defined on the unconstrained product space. The introduction of this formulation is based on a local elimination process for the Lagrange multiplier. This equivalent approach is the starting point for the efficient iterative solution by a multigrid method. To obtain level independent convergence rates for the $\Cw$-cycle, we have to define suitable level dependent bilinear forms and transfer operators. Numerical results illustrate the performance of our multigrid method in 2D and 3D.

Accurate Radiation Boundary Conditions for the Linearized Euler Equations in Cartesian Domains
Authors: Thomas Hagstrom, John Goodrich
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

We construct, analyze, and test convergent sequences of radiation boundary conditions at planar boundaries for the compressible Euler equations linearized about a uniform, subsonic flow. First we formulate well-posed exact conditions, identifying one which involves only a single nonlocal term at each boundary. Next we develop the basic convergence theory for rational approximations to the symbol of the nonlocal term, which we then specialize to the Padé approximants. Finally, we present numerical experiments using a seventh order implementation of the approximate conditions. The experiments involve the long time propagation of initial pressure pulses in periodic and duct geometry. With these we conclude that [i.] standard low order conditions lead to O(1) errors over moderate times; [ii.] good accuracy can be obtained with sufficiently high order approximate conditions of Padé type; [iii.] the actual errors are consistent with the theory---spectral convergence with increasing order for fixed times but a need to use high order approximations for long time accuracy.

Descriptive complexity of computable sequences
Authors: Bruno Durand, Alexander Shen, Nikolai Vereshchagin
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

Our goal is to study the complexity of infinite binary recursive sequences. We introduce several measures of the quantity of information they contain. Some measures are based on size of programs that generate the sequence, the others are based on the Kolmogorov complexity of its finite prefixes. The relations between these complexity measures are established. The most surprising among them are obtained using a specific two-players game2.
The High Performance FORTRAN Handbook
Authors: Charles H. Koelbel, Mary E. Zosel
Venue:  (1993)

:High Performance Fortran (HPF) is a set of extensions to Fortran expressing parallel execution at a relatively high level. For the thousands of scientists, engineers, and others who wish to take advantage of the power of both vector and parallel supercomputers, five of the principal authors of HPF have teamed up here to write a tutorial for the language. There is an increasing need for a common parallel Fortran that can serve as a programming interface with the new parallel machines that are appearing on the market. While HPF does not solve all the problems of parallel programming, it does provide a portable, high-level expression for data- parallel algorithms that brings the convenience of sequential Fortran a step closer to today's complex parallel machines.

Reviving the past: cultural heritage meets virtual reality
Authors: Athanasios Gaitatzes, Dimitrios Christopoulos, Maria Roussou
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

The use of immersive virtual reality (VR) systems in museums is a recent trend, as the development of new interactive technologies has inevitably impacted the more traditional sciences and arts. This is more evident in the case of novel interactive technologies that fascinate the broad public, as has always been the case with virtual reality. The increasing development of VR technologies has matured enough to expand research from the military and scientific visualization realm into more multidisciplinary areas, such as education, art and entertainment. This paper analyzes the interactive virtual environments developed at an institution of informal education and discusses the issues involved in developing immersive interactive virtual archaeology projects for the broad public.
Coulomb Interactions on Planar Structures: Inverting the Square Root of the Laplacian
Authors: Zydrunas Gimbutas, Leslie Greengard, Michael Minion
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We present an adaptive fast multipole method for inverting the square root of the Laplacian in two dimensions. Solving this problem is the dominant computational cost in many applications arising in electrical engineering, geophysical fluid dynamics, and the study of thin films. It corresponds to the evaluation of the field induced by a planar distribution of charge or vorticity. Our algorithm is direct and assumes only that the source distribution is discretized using an adaptive quad-tree. The amount of work grows linearly with the number of mesh points.

The Set of Divergent Descent Methods in a Banach Space is \boldmath$\sigma$\unboldmath-Porous
Authors: Simeon Reich, Alexander J. Zaslavski
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

Given a Lipschitzian convex function f on a Banach space X, we consider a complete metric space ${\cal A}$ of vector fields V on X with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets. With each such vector field we associate two iterative processes. We introduce the class of regular vector fields $V \in {\cal A}$ and prove (under two mild assumptions on f) that the complement of the set of regular vector fields is not only of the first category, but also $\sigma$-porous. We then show that for a locally uniformly continuous regular vector field V and a coercive function f, the values of f tend to its infimum for both processes.
