Recursive Diagonal Torus: An Interconnection Network for Massively Parallel Computers
Authors: Yulu Yang, Akira Funahashi, Akiya Jouraku, Hiroaki Nishi, Hideharu Amano, Toshinori Sueyoshi
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

Recursive Diagonal Torus (RDT), a class of interconnection network is proposed for massively parallel computers with up to $2^{16}$ nodes. By making the best use of a recursively structured diagonal mesh (torus) connection, the RDT has a smaller diameter (e.g., it is 11 for $2^{16}$ nodes) with a smaller number of links per node (i.e., 8 links per node) than those of the hypercube. A simple routing algorithm, called vector routing, which is near-optimal and easy to implement is also proposed. Although the congestion on upper rank tori sometimes degrades the performance under the random traffic, the RDT provides much better performance than that of a 2D/3D torus in most cases and, under hot spot traffic, the RDT provides much better performance than that of a 2D/3D/4D torus. The RDT router chip which provides a message multicast for maintaining cache consistency is available. Using the $0.5\mu m$ BiCMOS SOG technology, versatile functions, including hierarchical multicasting, combining acknowledge packets, shooting down/restart mechanism, and time-out/setup mechanisms, work at a 60MHz clock rate.

4&times;4 Tac-Tix is a second person game
Authors: Jainendra K. Navlakha
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

4&times;4 Tac-Tix is a two person game with the last player losing. It had been conjectured for quite some time now that this was a second person game. By using the AND-OR trees and the grundy function technique extensively, we prove in this paper that both, the 4&times;4 Tac-Tix and its modified version are second person games.
Avatar kinematics modeling for telecollaborative virtual environments
Authors: Cristian Luciano, Pat Banerjee
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

This paper introduced the application of a more efficient mathematical representation of the kinematics of avatars, or digital human beings, in telecollaborative virtual reality environments (VRE). The human head, torso and arms were modeled as a redundant eight-degree-of-freedom kinematics structure using an excellent alternative tool to transformation matrices, called dual quaternions. This approach achieves an extremely fast and accurate iterative algorithm that converges to one possible solution of this inverse kinematics problem. The method was implemented and tested in a CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment to demonstrate its performance in real time.
NuggetMine: intelligent groupware for opportunistically sharing information nuggets
Authors: Jeremy Goecks, Dan Cosley
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

NuggetMine is an intelligent groupware application that collaborates with a workgroup to increase information nugget sharing among the group. Information nuggets are small amounts of self-contained information, such as the URL of an interesting news article, a book title, or the time and location of a local art event. NuggetMine and the workgroup work together to build, maintain, and utilize a repository-or "mine"-of information nuggets. Group members submit nuggets to NuggetMine, which organizes and augments the submitted nuggets and provides a desktop interface to each group member. This interface makes it easy for group members to submit nuggets, view nuggets, and explore the mine. NuggetMine distributes the tasks necessary to share nuggets between it and the workgroup so as to best utilize the skills of each collaborator. In this paper, we describe the NuggetMine application and interface and present a pilot study of the application.
Vote.com: How Big-Money Lobbyists and the Media are Losing their Influence and the Internet is Giving Power to the People
Authors: Dick Morris
Venue:  (1999)

:For thirty years the media has dominated politics. Now the Internet is taking the media's place as the driving force in American political life. Already almost 80 million Americans use the Internet and almost fifty million of them log on everyday. In his latest book VOTE.COM, Dick Morris, the master of polling and spin, explains how the Internet is making the craft of politics as we now knot it obsolete. Morris is predicting: --Money won't matter in politics because the free Internet will replace paid television advertising --America will be governed by direct democracy as people express their opinions directly on the Net, forcing Congress to heed their will --Polling will be replaced by the Internet. Instead of asking a statistically valid sample of us, pollsters will just ask all of us on the Internet By examining the lessons of Bill Clinton's "unimpeachment," Morris explains how the president avoided removal from office by using the new rules of the Fifth Estate to defeat the forces of the Fourth Estate which wanted him ousted. Morris shows how Clinton's understanding of the new forces shaping our politics helped him survive and overcome scandal. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Digital Mythologies: The Hidden Complexities of the Internet
Authors: Thomas S. Valovic
Venue:  (2000)

:Surf the web. Ride the information highway. Log on to the future. Corporate ad campaigns like these became pervasive in the 1990s, and will doubtless continue into the new millennium. You're either online, or you're falling behind the times-at least, that's what the media tells us. Since the beginning of the 1990s, when the Internet gained widespread popularity, it has been heralded as one of the most revolutionary technologies ever. Commentators expected it to redefine how we communicate, do business, and educate our children. Conversely, other pundits vehemently attacked this technology. Naysayers of "cyberlife" emerged with their warnings of how the Net provides an uncensored, around-the-clock venue for pornography and inaccurate, simplified information; it is rife with opportunities to violate our right to privacy. In Digital Mythologies, Thomas Valovic hopes to raise the level of discussion by giving a full and balanced picture of how the Net affect our lives. Digital Mythologies asks hard questions about where information technology is taking us. Through anecdotes drawn from his experiences as former editor-in-chief of Telecommunications magazine, the author gives readers a peek behind the scenes of the Internet industry. He explores the underlying social and political implications of the Net and its associated technologies, based on his contention that the cyberspace experience is far more complex that is commonly assumed. Valovic explores these hidden complexities, and points to fascinating connections between the Internet and our contemporary culture.

Iterative querying in web-based database applications
Authors: Ramzi A. Haraty, Mazen Hamdoun
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Web applications are increasingly relying on databases. The traditional method offered by most web sites of submitting a query across the Internet and getting a response from a server packed in a Hyper Text Markup Language page is no longer satisfying [1][3][4][5]. This is due to the result set: it is often too large or empty. This forces the user to try and guess which constraints should be relaxed or tightened in order to obtain the desired result set. And so, the user goes through several submit/response cycles. Web applications that require this sort of interactive exploration of databases need to use a model that is different from the submit/respond model described above. In this work, we propose an iterative querying model that integrates querying with result browsing.

AQUASUN: adaptive window query processing in CAD applications for physical design and verification
Authors: Michiel De Wilde, Dirk Stroobandt, Jan Van Campenhout
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSI (2002)

CAD applications for physical design and verification very often require enumerating all layout objects whose bounding box intersects an axis-aligned rectangular area. A number of multidimensional access methods exist to process such window queries. The performance of some important design and verification algorithms heavily depends on the processing speed of the used access method. For complex layouts, these methods require huge amounts of resident memory to attain this speed.In this paper, we present a new access method called AQUASUN, which brings a significant query processing performance improvement over other adaptive methods---methods which can cope with a continuously changing layout. These methods generally descend from the database world and are designed to perform the equivalent query in n-dimensional space. Our method is specifically tailored to two dimensions, exploiting 2D optimisations that significantly accelerate window queries within oblong objects like PCB tracks. Furthermore, AQUASUN makes use of an efficient compression technique which greatly cuts down on memory usage.
Highly-resilient, energy-efficient multipath routing in wireless sensor networks
Authors: Deepak Ganesan, Ramesh Govindan, Scott Shenker, Deborah Estrin
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

Previously proposed sensor network data dissemination schemes require periodic low-rate flooding of data in order to allow recovery from failure. We consider constructing two kinds of multipaths to enable energy efficient recovery from failure of the shortest path between source and sink. Disjoint multipath has been studied in the liteature. w propose a model braided multipath scheme, which results in several partially disjoint multipath schemes. We find that braided multipaths are a viable alternative for energy-efficient recovery from isolated and patterned failures
Closed world assumption for disjunctive reasoning
Venue: Journal of Computer Science and Technology (2001)

In this paper, the relationship between argumentation and closed world reasoning for disjunctive information is studied. In particular, the authors propose a simple and intuitive generalization of the closed world assumption (CWA) for general disjunctive deductive databases (with default negation). This semantics, called DCWA, allows a natural argumentation-based interpretation and can be used to represent reasoning for disjunctive information. We compare DCWA with GCWA and prove that DCWA extends Minker's GCWA to the class of disjunctive databases with default negation. Also we compare our semantics with some related approaches. In addition, the computational complexity of DCWA is investigated.

Computer aided analysis of antigen-antibody reactions
Authors: Bang Maw Liu, Jens Steensgaard
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

Antibodies are large molecules which are formed in the body to render antigens (causes of diseases) harmless. Bivalent antibodies and multivalent antigens may form a rich variety of different antigen-antibody complexes. The outcome of a reaction between an antigen and its antibodies can be analyzed experimentally by use of a gradient centrifugation technique.We have used computer models to study the extent to which the outcome of an antigen-antibody reaction is predictable from simple assumptions.First, a mathematical model for simulation of this particular centrifugal technique was constructed, allowing calculation of where in the centrifuge rotor a given complex would be located following centrifugation under precisely defined circumstances. Second, a program to predict the outcome of reactions between antigens and antibodies was written, based on the assumption that the kinds and the amounts of antigen-antibody complexes are determined by the concentrations of antigens and antibodies, respectively, together with a parameter describing their mutual affinity. Third, these programs were combined so as to calculate the expected outcome of antigen-antibody reactions as they appear after this type of centrifugal analysis. Finally, calculated results were compared to experimentally obtained results, and a fairly good agreement was found.It is concluded that the main characteristical features of such reactions are predictable from the above mentioned assumptions by use of these computer models.
Transparency and reflection in distributed systems
Authors: Robert Stroud
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

The recursive composition of systems to form functionally equivalent transparently distributed systems is an important paradigm for constructing distributed systems. The extent to which such recursive transparency can be achieved depends crucially on the semantics and functionality offered by the underlying systems. It is therefore important that systems should be designed so that their functionality scales gracefully in a distributed environment.In order to build a transparent extension to a system, it is necessary to be able to intercept its basic operations and extend their meaning to a distributed environment. This requires the underlying system to have a clean structure with well-defined interfaces and the reflective capability necessary to intercept and extend operations crossing those interfaces. Thus, both reflection and transparency are important aspects of the design of extensible distributed systems.It is possible to make transparent extensions to object-oriented systems built on top of micro-kernel architectures but the lack of reflective capabilities in the current generation of object-oriented programming languages can make this unnecessarily awkward. More research is required to develop languages whose computational model and implementation are a better match for the underlying platforms which support them.
The impact of culture and gender on web sites: an empirical study
Authors: Steven John Simon
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (2000)

The growth of electronic commerce, in particular business-to-consumer, has been explosive during the last few years. Until recently, the Web community has been a male dominated western-oriented society, with the design of Web sites reflecting that homogenous audience. Using an adapted version of Hofstede's dimensions as a means of differentiation, this study explores the perception and satisfaction levels of one hundred and sixty subjects on four web sites. Analysis indicates that perception and satisfaction differences exist between the cultural clusters and gender groups within those cultures --- Asia, Europe, Latin & South America, and North America. In particular, the perceptions of the Asian and Latin/South American were found to be similar, as were the perceptions of the Europeans and North Americans. Qualitative analysis indicates that females within certain cultures have widely different preferences from their male counterparts regarding web site attributes.
