Multivariate Rational Approximants for Multiclass Closed Queuing Networks
Authors: Annie Cuyt, R. B. Lenin
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

Closed Markovian networks of queues with multiclass customers and having a product form equilibrium state probability distribution are useful in the performance evaluation and design of computer and telecommunication systems. Therefore, the efficient computation of the normalizing function, the key element of the solution in product form, has attracted considerable effort. We consider a network that consists of one infinite-server (IS) station and one processor-sharing (PS) or FCFS single-server station. We use multivariate Newton-Padé approximants computed from data for small numbers of customers in each class, to estimate the normalizing function for a larger population in the network. The effectiveness and tremendous gain in computing time of this procedure are illustrated through various numerical experiments.

An algebra of quotient relations
Authors: Antonio L. Furtado, Larry Kerschberg
Venue: Proceedings of the 1977 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1977)

An algebra which operates on partitioned relations is developed. Relation partitioning is achieved by defining equivalence relations on n-ary relations. It is shown that the algebra is as powerful as the original relational algebra, having the advantage of a set-processing capability. This feature provides both greater flexibility in query specification and efficient query processing.
The Bit and the Pendulum: From Quantum Computing to M Theory -- The New Physics of Information, 1st edition
Authors: Tom Siegfried
Venue:  (2000)

:Will it be possible in the twenty-first century to teleport objects from one place to another? Will superfast quantum computers usher in an even more powerful second computer revolution? Is our universe only one of an infinite number of universes?" "What do all of these questions have to do with the radical new theory that "everything is information"? In The Bit and the Pendulum, science writer Tom Siegfried introduces readers to the frontiers of the radical new physics of information, and to the host of amazing discoveries it is inspiring - from the development of a stunning new breed of quantum computers, to methods for writing supersecure codes, to revealing fascinating insights into the elaborate computer-like workings of the cell and resolving long-standing mysteries about the inner workings of black holes and how the universe evolved." "Siegfried has interviewed the leading researchers, and he provides lucid and entertaining explanations of the remarkable range of work they are doing. We are introduced to the latest theories in quantum physics and how they are being applied by quantum cryptographers to create secret codes that are absolutely unbreakable. We learn how the mind-boggling physics of "reversible logic" can recapture lost information. We are introduced to Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann and his provocative new idea of a "schema" to encode the way that nature works. We meet maverick mathematician Leonard Adleman and learn about his ingenious method of harnessing the information power of the genetic code to create DNA computers.

Unified architecture level energy-efficiency metric
Authors: Victor Zyuban
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (2002)

The development of power-efficient microprocessors presents the need to consider power consumption at early stages of design, particularly at the ISA and microarchitecture definition stages, where the potential for power savings is more significant than at lower-level stages, and the opportunity for making power-performance tradeoffs is the largest. Design modifications to the ISA and microarchitecture, however, affect most (if not all) parameters of the design, including architectural speed, code density, clocking rate and power. A reliable metric is required to make knowledgeable power-performance tradeoffs in this multi-dimensional space. This paper derives a unified energy-efficiency metric for evaluating ISA and microarchitecture features, which subsumes other commonly used power-performance metrics as special cases of a more general equation. This new metric is derived based on an analysis of a multi-dimensional power optimization problem, and the resulting formula involves only relative changes in the characteristics of a processor, enabling its application at the early stages of the design.
A typed context calculus
Authors: Masatomo Hashimoto, Atsushi Ohori
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

This paper develops a typed calculus for contexts i.e., lambda terms with "holes". In addition to ordinary lambda terms, the calculus contains labeled holes, hole abstraction and context application for manipulating first-class contexts. The primary operation for contexts is hole-filling, which captures free variables. This operation conflicts with substitution of the lambda calculus, and a straightforward mixture of the two results in an inconsistent system. We solve this problem by defining a type system that precisely specifies the variable-capturing nature of contexts and that keeps track of bound variable renaming. These mechanisms enable us to define a reduction system that properly integrates&brg;-reduction and hole-filling. The resulting calculus is Church-Rosser and the type system has the subject reduction property. We believe that the context calculus will serve as a basis for developing a programming language with advanced features that call for manipulation of open terms. Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Least and greatest fixed points in intuitionistic natural deduction
Authors: Tarmo Uustalu, Varmo Vene
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

This paper is a comparative study of a number of (intensional-semantically distinct) least and greatest fixed point operators that natural-deduction proof systems for intuitionistic logics can be extended with in a proof-theoretically defendable way. Eight pairs of such operators are analysed. The exposition is centred around a cube-shaped classification where each node stands for an axiomatization of one pair of operators as logical constants by intended proof and reduction rules and each arc for a proof- and reduction-preserving encoding of one pair in terms of another. The three dimensions of the cube reflect three orthogonal binary options: conventional-style vs. Mendler-style, basic ("[co]iterative") vs. enhanced ("primitive-[co]recursive"), simple vs. course-of-value [co]induction. Some of the axiomatizations and encodings are well known; others, however, are novel; the classification into a cube is also new. The differences between the least fixed point operators considered are illustrated on the example of the corresponding natural number types.
