Mysql Reference Manual, 1st edition
Authors: Michael Widenius, Davis Axmark
Venue:  (2002)

:MySQL is the most popular SQL database in the open source community and is used almost universally by web sites running on open source systems. As powerful and flexible as it is lightweight and efficient, MySQL packs a large feature set into a very small and fast engine that now runs on more than 500,000 servers. This renowned online manual that has supported MySQL administrators and database developers for years is now available in paperback format. This book is an exact reproduction of the MySQL Reference Manual from the MySQL development team's Web site, minus some non-technical appendices. This version covers MySQL 4.0. Many sophisticated topics appear in this comprehensive manual, ranging from the hitches you may run into when first installing MySQL to internals that will help you tune your queries. MySQL Reference Manual contains all the comprehensive reference material one would expect for building the product, running administrative utilities, and using various API as well as MySQL's rich version of SQL. In addition, you can turn a page and find such unexpected riches as: A thorough comparison of MySQL with SQL standards and other databases A discussion of privileges and suggested uses of privileges to enhance security Directions for replicating a database and for running several MySQL servers on a single system Directions for initializing a database from a flat file Guidelines for estimating the performance of different queries A far-reaching discussion of optimization, with reference to the implementation of MySQL Investigations of the differences between data types and the pros and cons of each type of number, string, or timestamp An extended inquiry into the effects of using delayed inserts A candid explanation of why various errors occur and how to recover from them Tips for weighted, full-text searches Detailed descriptions of the features, strengths, and weaknesses of available table formats A guide to adding new functions to MySQL No serious MySQL user should be without this book.
Answer set programming and plan generation
Venue: Artificial Intelligence (2002)

The idea of answer set programming is to represent a given computational problem by a logic program whose answer sets correspond to solutions, and then use an answer set solver, such as SMODELS or DLV, to find an answer set for this program. Applications of this method to planning are related to the line of research on the frame problem that started with the invention of formal nonmonotonic reasoning in 1980.
Stability and Regularization of Three-Level Difference Schemes with Unbounded Operator Coefficients in Banach Spaces
Authors: Alexander A. Samarskii, Ivan P. Gavrilyuk, Vladimir L. Makarov
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

The problem of stability of difference schemes for second-order evolution problems is considered. Difference schemes are treated as abstract Cauchy problems for difference equations with operator coefficients in a Banach or Hilbert space. To construct stable difference schemes the regularization principle is employed, i.e., one starts from any simple scheme (possibly unstable) and derives absolutely stable schemes by perturbing the operator coefficients. The main result of this paper is the following: for the first time sufficient conditions are pointed out under which an unstable three-level difference scheme with unbounded operator coefficients in a Banach space can be regularized to a stable scheme. The principal stability condition is the strong P-positivity of the unbounded operator coefficients.

Dust dynamics in protoplanetary disks: parallel computing with PVM
Authors: Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, Pierre Barge, Raùl de la Fuente Marcos
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

We describe a parallel version of our high-order-accuracy particle-mesh code for the simulation of collisionless protoplanetary disks. We use this code to carry out a massively parallel, two-dimensional, time-dependent, numerical simulation, which includes dust particles, to study the potential role of large-scale, gaseous vortices in protoplanetary disks. This noncollisional problem is easy to parallelize on message-passing multicomputer architectures. We performed the simulations on a cache-coherent nonuniform memory access Origin 2000 machine, using both the parallel virtual machine (PVM) and message-passing interface (MPI) message-passing libraries. Our performance analysis suggests that, for our problem, PVM is about 25% faster than MPI. Using PVM and MPI made it possible to reduce CPU time and increase code performance. This allows for simulations with a large number of particles (N &#x223C; 105-106) in reasonable CPU times. The performances of our implementation of the parallel code on an Origin 2000 supercomputer are presented and discussed. They exhibit very good speedup behavior and low load unbalancing. Our results confirm that giant gaseous vortices can play a dominant role in giant planet formation.

Automated negotiation and decision making in multiagent environments
Authors: Sarit Kraus
Venue: Mutli-agents systems and applications (2001)

This paper presents some of the key techniques for reaching agreements in multi-agent environments. It discusses game-theory and economics based techniques: strategic negotiation, auctions, coalition formation, market-oriented programming and contracting. It also presents logical based mechanisms for argumentations. The focus of the survey is on negotiation of self-interested agents, but several mechanisms for cooperative agents who need to resolve conflicts that arise from conflicting beliefs about different aspects of their environment are also mentioned. For space reasons, we couldn't cover all the relevant works, and the papers that are mentioned only demonstrate the possible approaches. We present some of the properties of the approaches using our own previous work.
Generic Simplicity of the Spectrum and Stabilization for a Plate Equation
Authors: Jaime H. Ortega, Enrique Zuazua
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

In this work we prove the generic simplicity of the spectrum of the clamped plate equation in a bounded regular domain of ${\mathbb R}^d.$ That is, given $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^d,$ we show that there exists an arbitrarily small deformation of the domain $u,$ such that all the eigenvalues of the plate system in the deformed domain $\Omega +u$ are simple. To prove this result we first prove a nonstandard unique continuation property for this system that also holds generically with respect to the perturbations of the domain. Both the proof of this generic uniqueness result and the generic simplicity of the spectrum use Baire's lemma and shape differentiation. Finally, we show an application of this unique continuation property to a result of generic stabilization for a plate system with one dissipative boundary condition.

Parallel computing with generalized cellular automata
Authors: W. A. Maniatty, B. K. Szymanski, T. Caraco
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

Cellular automata (CA) are fundamental computational models of spatial phenomena, in which space is represented by a discrete lattice of cells. Each cell concurrently interacts with its neighborhood which, in traditional CA, is limited to the cell's nearest neighbors. In this paper we discuss generalized cellular automata (GCA), an important but unexplored class of CA, in which the cell's interaction domain extends beyond the nearest neighbors. The computational power necessary to run large scale CA (and GCA) models has only recently been available thanks to parallel processing. This paper focuses on implementation and performance of GCA in biological modeling. In particular, we present results of simulating the spread of epidemics and the creation of spatial infection patterns that are important for disease control. The simulation system is implemented on three different platforms: the MasPar MP-1 SIMD computer, the IBM SP-2 MIMD machine and a network of workstations (NOW) that consists of Sun SPARCstation 5 and UltraSPARC 2's connected via Ethernet. The system presented in this paper has been specialized for simulating a four species spatially explicit model, however, the implementation may be readily modified to represent other models. Simulation results are presented for simple epidemics and vector-borne diseases spread by parasites.

Physical cloth simulation on a PC cluster
Authors: F. Zara, F. Faure, J-M. Vincent
Venue: Proceedings of the Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (2002)

Cloth simulation is of major interest in 3D animation, as it allows the realistic modeling of dressed humans. The goal of our work is to decrease computation time in order to obtain real time dynamics animation. This paper describes a cloth simulation and addresses the problem of parallelizing the implicit time integration and to couple a parallel execution with a standard visualization. We believe that this work could benefit to other applications based on a conjugate gradient solution and other applications of PC clusters.

Agents' advanced features for negotiation and coordination
Authors: Eugenio Oliveria
Venue: Mutli-agents systems and applications (2001)

Agent-based systems suitable for dealing with applications where the environment is both dynamic and populated with competitors demand for sophisticated characteristics including adaptation, negotiation and coordination. We here briefly summarize some proposals on agents' negotiation capabilities including adaptation through reinforcement learning as well as qualitative multi-criteria negotiation and coalition formation protocols. Also, and inspired by robosoccer domain, some basic hints on knowledge representation for agents' team work are here described. All those proposals on automatic negotiation have been implemented through agent-based systems for different application domains (MACIV, SMACE, ForEV).
