The MIX computer as an educational tool
Authors: E. M. Greenawalt, D. I. Good
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM annual conference - Volume 1 (1972)

A simulated MIX computer system plays a major role in the undergraduate computer sciences curriculum of The University of Texas at Austin. Use of the simulated machine was adopted because it provides a more complete environment for teaching operating systems concepts while at the same time providing a simpler yet conceptually complete environment for teaching assembly language programming than do the available CDC 6000 series computers. The simulated system appears to also be more cost effective than the actual machines. The MIX system in use provides a full implementation of the original specifications with some extensions. Full concurrency of I/O and CPU operation is simulated with magnetic tape, disk, drum, and unit record devices. Experience with the system in courses has been very good. Several extensions of the system to enhance its usefulness in meeting course goals are discussed. The primary outcome of these extensions will be a very sophisticated simulated system whose image to the user will be "real" in every respect except for its physical existence.

IP paging service for mobile hosts
Authors: Ramachandran Ramjee, Li Li, Tom la Porta, Sneha Kasera
Venue: Wireless Networks (2002)

In wireless networks, mobile hosts must update the network with their current location in order to get packets delivered. Paging facilitates efficient power management at the mobile host by allowing the host to update the network less frequently at the cost of providing the network with only approximate location information. The network determines the exact location of a mobile host through paging before delivering packets destined to the mobile host. In this paper, we propose the concept of paging as an IP service. IP paging enables a common infrastructure and protocol to support the different wireless interfaces such as CDMA, GPRS, wireless LAN, avoiding the duplication of several application layer paging implementations and the inter-operability issues that exist today. We present the design, implementation, and detailed qualitative and quantitative evaluation, using measurements and simulation, of three IP-based paging protocols for mobile hosts.

The Hybrid Multiscale Simulation Technology: An Introduction with Application to Space and Plasma Physics
Authors: Alexander S. Lipatov
Venue:  (2001)

:This book is a comprehensive description of hybrid plasma simulation models and will provide a very useful summary and guide to the vast literature on this topic. It addresses researchers and graduate students knowledgeable about computational science and numerical analysis, and can be used in courses on astrophysical and space plasmas. It is also meant for plasma installation designers. The coupled VlasovMaxwell equations with collisions describing well the physical system are far too heavy for numerical siumulations. Hybrid models treat some aspects kinetically and some as fluids. In the first part the author discusses hybrid codes, which include a wide spectrum of description for ions, positrons, dust grains, atoms and electrons. In the second part he treats the applications to basic plasma phenomena like particle acceleration and dissipation processes as well as to the global interaction of the solar wind with nonmagnetic planets, comets, and the local interstellar medium.

Feedback Stabilization and Lyapunov Functions
Authors: F. H. Clarke, Yu. S. Ledyaev, L. Rifford, R. J. Stern
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

Given a locally defined, nondifferentiable but Lipschitz Lyapunov function, we employ it in order to construct a (discontinuous) feedback law which stabilizes the underlying system to any given tolerance. A converse result shows that suitable Lyapunov functions of this type exist under mild assumptions. We also establish that the feedback in question possesses a robustness property relative to measurement error, despite the fact that it may not be continuous.
F4: large-scale automated forecasting using fractals
Authors: Deepayan Chakrabarti, Christos Faloutsos
Venue: Proceedings of the eleventh international conference on Information and knowledge management (2002)

Forecasting has attracted a lot of research interest, with very successful methods for periodic time series. Here, we propose a fast, automated method to do non-linear forecasting, for both periodic as well as chaotic time series. We use the technique of delay coordinate embedding, which needs several parameters; our contribution is the automated way of setting these parameters, using the concept of `intrinsic dimensionality'. Our operational system has fast and scalable algorithms for preprocessing and, using R-trees, also has fast methods for forecasting. The result of this work is a black-box which, given a time series as input, finds the best parameter settings, and generates a prediction system. Tests on real and synthetic data show that our system achieves low error, while it can handle arbitrarily large datasets.

A spreading activation approach to text illustration
Authors: K. Hartmann, Th. Strothotte
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

In this paper we present a new approach to implement intelligent multimedia interfaces. Its central elements are a media-independent formal representation of the presented knowledge and media-specific realization statements. Reference hypotheses for media objects are established automatically. Subsequently, the reference hypotheses are validated and weighted by a spreading activation algorithm. Moreover, the spreading activation algorithm determines those entities of the formal representation which are relevant considering an interactively modified multimedia presentation. Finally, the information on the relevance and on the co-reference of media objects are exploited to guarantee the coherency of the multimedia presentation.This paper is focused on the automatic generation of illustrations which are adjusted to the content of interactively selected text segments. Initial results of two application systems, the TEXTILLUSTRATOR and VISDOK, are presented.
On shortest paths and sorting
Authors: Ellis L. Johnson
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM annual conference - Volume 1 (1972)

In finding shortest paths, the operation of finding, successively, a minimum from a list of numbers may require more work than the remainder of the algorithm. It is shown how algorithms from sorting literature can be used to accomplish this part of the shortest path algorithm. Bounds on the largest possible amount of work are established, and results of a computational study are reported.

Graph Nonisomorphism Has Subexponential Size Proofs Unless the Polynomial-Time Hierarchy Collapses
Authors: Adam R. Klivans, Dieter van Melkebeek
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

Traditional hardness versus randomness results focus on time-efficient randomized decision procedures. We generalize these trade-offs to a much wider class of randomized processes. We work out various applications, most notably to derandomizing Arthur-Merlin games. We show that every language with a bounded round Arthur-Merlin game has subexponential size membership proofs for infinitely many input lengths unless exponential time coincides with the third level of the polynomial-time hierarchy (and hence the polynomial-time hierarchy collapses). Since the graph nonisomorphism problem has a bounded round Arthur-Merlin game, this provides the first strong evidence that graph nonisomorphism has subexponential size proofs. We also establish hardness versus randomness trade-offs for space bounded computation.

The design of a low cost video graphics terminal
Authors: Forest Baskett, Leonard Shustek
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

We have designed and built a computer terminal that provides low cost, high quality graphics and programmable text processing by taking advantage of the latest memory and microprocessor technology. A microprocessor control element allows most of the control functions to be programmed so that all of the control electronics require less than 100 integrated circuits. The graphic image is generated by a microprocessor which accepts vector commands intended for a Tektronix storage tube display terminal. The microprocessor maps those vector commands into a random access memory, and the resulting bit map of the graphic image is displayed on a standard TV monitor. Reasonable resolution in the graphic image requires a large number of bits in the bit map, but with the use of 4K memory chips, less than 100 integrated circuits are required for the bit map memory in our design. At 1975 small-quantity prices, the parts cost for the terminal is approximately $2000.

Designing for accountability
Authors: Sara Eriksén
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

Accountability is an important issue for design, in more than one sense. In software engineering literature, accountability is mainly seen as a goal for quality assurance of design processes. In ethnomethodological studies, accountability is a central concept for understanding how people organize their everyday actions and interactions. Where the different research approaches meet, in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) literature, new and hybrid understandings of accountability arise. In this paper, I explore and compare uses of the concept of accountability in a selection of texts. Finally, using a specific case as an example, I discuss what focusing on ethnomethodological understandings of accountability might imply for design of information technologies.
