Mining specifications
Authors: Glenn Ammons, Rastislav Bodík, James R. Larus
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

Program verification is a promising approach to improving program quality, because it can search all possible program executions for specific errors. However, the need to formally describe correct behavior or errors is a major barrier to the widespread adoption of program verification, since programmers historically have been reluctant to write formal specifications. Automating the process of formulating specifications would remove a barrier to program verification and enhance its practicality.This paper describes specification mining, a machine learning approach to discovering formal specifications of the protocols that code must obey when interacting with an application program interface or abstract data type. Starting from the assumption that a working program is well enough debugged to reveal strong hints of correct protocols, our tool infers a specification by observing program execution and concisely summarizing the frequent interaction patterns as state machines that capture both temporal and data dependences. These state machines can be examined by a programmer, to refine the specification and identify errors, and can be utilized by automatic verification tools, to find bugs.Our preliminary experience with the mining tool has been promising. We were able to learn specifications that not only captured the correct protocol, but also discovered serious bugs.
Parallel execution of a sequential network simulator
Authors: Kevin G. Jones, Samir R. Das
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) techniques have not yet made a substantial impact on the network simulation community because of the need to recast the simulation models using a new set of tools. To address this problem, we present a case study in transparently parallelizing a widely used network simulator, called ns. The use of this parallel ns does not require the modeler to learn any new tools or complex PDES techniques. The paper describes our approach and design choices to build the parallel ns and presents preliminary performance results, which are very encouraging.

Also, I will visit the client support area to learn about services offered to faculty, staff and students, staffing and policies and procedures governing client support services.Through this exchange of information a bridge of sharing and learning will be established to further educational goals through information technology on an international level.
Towards a standard upper ontology
Authors: Ian Niles, Adam Pease
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001 (2001)

The Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) is an upper level ontology that has been proposed as a starter document for The Standard Upper Ontology Working Group, an IEEE-sanctioned working group of collaborators from the fields of engineering, philosophy, and information science. The SUMO provides definitions for general-purpose terms and acts as a foundation for more specific domain ontologies. In this paper we outline the strategy used to create the current version of the SUMO, discuss some of the challenges that we faced in constructing the ontology, and describe in detail its most general concepts and the relations between them.
J: the natural language for analytic computing
Authors: Norman Thomson
Venue:  (2002)

J is a computer language which first emerged in about 1990, and which is remarkable for the way in which it allows technical instructions for computing to be expressed with great conciseness using constructs and syntax which closely mirror those of natural language. The software concerned is available for free download, thereby giving both professionals and general users access to all the facilities of the language. J is also a fully integrated computing systems with development environment, library utilities and interfaces to a full range of mainstream computing applications such as graphics and data-bases. With J, which only uses the symbols available on every keyboard, a much closer bridge has been constructed between computer and human language than ever before.

Kinesthetic cues aid spatial memory
Authors: Desney S. Tan, Randy Pausch, Jeanine K. Stefanucci, Dennis R. Proffitt
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

We are interestind in building and evaluating human computer interfaces that make information more memorable. Psychology research informs us that humans access memories through cues, or "memory hooks," acquired at the time we learn the information. In this paper, we show that kinesthetic cues, or the awareness of parts of our body's position with respect to itself or to the environment, are useful for recalling the positions of objects in space. We report a user study demonstrating a 19% increase in spatial memory for information controlled with a touchscreen, which provides direct kinesthetic cues, as compared to a standard mouse interface. We also report results indicating that females may benefit more than males from using the touchscreen device.

Making the computer accessible to mentally retarded adults
Authors: Gretchen L. Robertson, Deborah Hix
Venue: Communications of the ACM (2002)

Little research has been conducted on how to teach computer skills to developmentally disabled adults. A head counselor at a home for mentally retarded adults, who served as the inspiration for this article, was an enthusiastic personal computer user who tried to share computer instruction with home residents. Efforts at using commercial applications designed for young children were unsuccessful. Residents briefly watched the counselor use the applications, then lost interest. Staff members had neither the time nor the user interface background to investigate which applications and user interaction design factors might make computers accessible to home residents. In this article, we describe our empirical investigation of computer use among moderately developmentally disabled individuals. We investigated the input devices preferred, and the user interaction design issues to be considered when designing or selecting applications for this population.
Conservative visibility preprocessing for walkthroughs of complex urban scenes
Authors: JunHyeok Heo, Jaeho Kim, KwangYun Wohn
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2000)

Visibility preprocessing is a useful method to reduce the complexity of scenes to be processed in real-time, and so enhances the overall rendering performance for interactive visualization of virtual environments. In this paper, we propose an efficient visibility preprocessing method. The proposed method is able to handle more general environments, like urban environments, and remove invisible polygons jointly blocked by multiple occluders. The proposed method requires O(nm) time and O(n+m) space. By selecting a suitable value for m. user can select a suitable level of trade-off between the preprocessing time and the quality of the computational result. In the proposed method, we assume that navigatable areas in virtual environments are partitioned into rectangular parallelepiped cells or sub-worlds. To preprocess the visibility of each polygon for a given partitioned cell, we should determine at least the area-to-area visibility. That is inherently a four-dimensional problem. In the proposed method, we efficiently express four-dimensional visibility information on two-dimensional spaces and keep it within a ternary tree. which is conceptually similar to a BSP(Binary Space Partitioning) tree, by exploiting the characteristics of conservative visibility.
