Optimally balancing assembly lines with different workstations
Authors: Gaia Nicosia, Dario Pacciarelli, Andrea Pacifici
Venue: Discrete Applied Mathematics (2002)

In this paper, we consider the problem of assigning operations to an ordered sequence of non-identical workstations, observing precedence relationships and cycle time restrictions. The objective is to minimize the cost of the workstations. We first present a dynamic programming algorithm, and introduce several fathoming rules in order to reduce the number of states in the dynamic program. A characterization of a wide class of polynomially solvable instances is given, and computational results are reported.

Adaptive Boundary Element Methods Based on Computational Schemes for Sobolev Norms
Authors: O. Steinbach
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

Multilevel methods are applied to compute local and global Sobolev norms arising in adaptive boundary element methods. Combining this approach with an approximate computation of an error function we construct efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimators for arbitrary boundary element solutions related to either a Dirichlet or Neumann boundary value problem.

Efficiency of the Analytic Center Cutting Plane Method for Convex Minimization
Authors: Krzysztof C. Kiwiel
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

We consider the analytic center cutting plane method of Sonnevend and of Goffin et al. for minimizing a convex (possibly nondifferentiable) function subject to box constraints. At each iteration, accumulated subgradient cuts define a polytope that localizes the minimum. The objective and its subgradient are evaluated at the analytic center of this polytope to produce a cut that improves the localizing set. While complexity results have been recently established for several related methods, the question of whether the original method converges has remained open. We show that the method converges and establish its efficiency.

:Companies ranging from IBM to Novell are dramatically expanding Linux training and development. Certification will be a key part of this trend, and support is growing for an industry-wide Linux certification program. Most companies want a vendor-neutral certification initiative, and the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is the leading effort in this direction. As more corporations adopt Linux as the networking backbone for their IT systems, the demand for certified technicians will become even greater. LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell prepares system administrators for the basic LPI General Linux 101 exam and the more advanced 102 exam, and includes information on objectives and test suggestions. It also provides readers who aren't planning to take the exam with an excellent understanding of the targeted Linux concepts and functions. The book is divided into two parts, one for each of the LPI exams. Each part features a summary of the exam, a Highlighter's Index, labs, suggested exercises, and practice exams to help the reader pass the LPI exams with flying colors. Part I covers the General Linux 101 Exam: GNU and Unix commands Devices, Linux filesystems, and the filesystem hierarchy standard Boot, initialization, shutdown and run levels Documentation Administrative tasks Hardware and architecture Part II covers the General Linux 102 Exam: Linux installation and package management The Linux kernel Text editing, processing, and printing Shells, scripting, programming, and compiling X-Windows Networking fundamentals Network services Security For those preparing to take the LPI Linux Certification Exams, this book will prove to be invaluable in its scope and breadth. Linux newbies will also find this book useful for learning more about how to use their Linux system.
Metadata modeling in a global computing environment
Authors: Dieter Pfoser, Evaggelia Pitoura, Nectaria Tryfona
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM international symposium on Advances in geographic information systems (2002)

Emerging computational paradigms such as global and ubiquitous computing require some rethinking and innovative research ideas in many computer science areas. In this work, we aim at studying a mobile computing scenario from the database perspective. Given a global computing environment in which data is kept in a number of small-scale, data-charged, mobile devices that use, e.g., wireless networks, for communication, we want to assess the overall data scenario. We use an example to abstract the requirements to such a computing environment and to outline the various existing types of data. Included here are some metadata proposals related to the actual data stored in the device (content data) as well as to the data necessary to the functioning of the device within the computing environment (profile data). The metadata proposals are based on well-known languages and tools such as XML, RDF, UML, and ontologies.
Palm Programming: The Developer's Guide with CD-ROM, 1st edition
Authors: Neil Rhodes, Julie McKeehan
Venue:  (1998)

From the Book:What accounts for the PalmPilot's astonishing success? After all, there are more fully featured handhelds (the dead Apple Newton), smaller ones (Rex), less expensive ones (Avigo), ones with keyboards (Psion), and ones backed by Microsoft (Windows CE devices). Yet all of those palmtops (and many more) put together constitute only 35% of the palmtop market. PalmPilot sales make up the remaining 65%. Some of the reasons for its success are evident: the PalmPilot is truly shirt-pocketable, inexpensive, fast, and simple, and a pair of AAA batteries drive it for two or three months (compare with 15 to 20 hours on a Windows CE gadget). But there's another, bigger reason that overshadows all the others: the PalmPilot is amazingly easy, pleasant, and satisfying to program. At this writing, there are over 7,000 PalmPilot developers. My guess is that 6,950 of them are teenagers in their bedrooms. But that's just the point--because 3Com/Palm Computing and the Palm OS are so open, so clear, so friendly, almost anyone with a little programming experience can create new software for this addictive piece of circuitry. Maybe that's why 5,000 PalmPilot programs on 500 web sites are kicking around at this very moment. No other handheld platform offers as many easily accessible development tools--and so much encouragement from Palm Computing, the mother ship. As a result, it's astonishing that this is the first and only book on PalmPilot programming--and gratifying that it's so meaty, complete, and informative. Authors Neil Rhodes and Julie McKeehan do more than rattle off lists of calls and APIs; in a gentle, book-long arc, the authors lead you through the creationof a sample PalmPilot program. Along the way, you'll learn to create almost every aspect of a Palm OS application, such as databases, beaming, menus, dialogs, data entry, finding, and conduits to the desktop PC. More than that, you'll learn the Palm OS itself. The authors firmly believe that in creating its OS, Palm Computing got it right the first time; you're encouraged to embrace the same goals of speed, minimization of steps, and elegant design. In other words, this book won't just teach you to become a PalmPilot programmer--it will teach you to be a good one.
Applying conflict management strategies in BDI agents for resource management in computational grids
Authors: Omer F. Rana, Michael Winikoff, Lin Padgham, James Harland
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

Managing resources in large scale distributed systems --- "Computational Grids", is a complex and time sensitive process. The computational resources being shared vary in type and complexity, and resource properties can change over time. An approach based on interacting software agents is presented, where each resource manager and resource requester is modelled as a BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) agent. The proposed approach can help resolve conflicts that arise during resource discovery and application scheduling, and enables site autonomy to be maintained. The modelling and detection of conflicts is important in the context of this work, to enable each resource and application to respond to changes in the environment. We propose a BDI based framework that can be used to model agents that represent resources and applications --- and outline properties that each must maintain.
Quantitative imaging of dynamic structure and function of the heart, lungs and circulation by computerized reconstruction and subtraction techniques
Authors: Richard A. Robb, Erik L. Ritman, James F. Greenleaf, Ralph E. Sturm, Gabor T. Herman, Peter A. Chevalier, Hsun K. Liu, Earl H. Wood
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

Conventional radiographic imaging techniques are not adequate for determination of the true, dynamic changes in shape and dimensions of the intact working heart, lungs and circulation which are required for accurate quantitative determination of the structure and function of these organ systems. This paper describes a computerized method for obtaining images of the dynamic spatial distribution of x-ray attenuation throughout multiple parallel cross-sectional planes bisecting the intact thorax, with 1-mm spatial resolution and 60-per-second temporal resolution, and for generating time delay video and cine displays of the spatial and temporal sequences of these cross-sectional images. Operator-interactive computer programs facilitate the dynamic display of reconstructed cross sections of the heart and lungs, with or without dynamic background subtraction, and permit calculation and display of any desired single or spatially related set of coronal, sagittal or obliquely oriented sections. Such displays permit viewing of the temporal and spatial distribution of contraction, expansion, and perfusion of these organs over their full anatomic extent in various orientations and in variable time-base modes ranging from stop-action to real-time. The results achieved with this computerized system for three-dimensional reconstruction and display of moving organs, particularly the heart, lungs, and circulation, demonstrate the potential for providing greatly improved techniques for investigation of the relationships of the dynamic three-dimensional anatomy and blood-tissue exchange properties of moving organ systems to their regional and integrated function, and ultimately for providing powerful new clinical diagnostic methods for elucidation of abnormalities of the heart, lungs and circulation in man.

Comparison of ECN-ELFN and SACK on TCP's performance for ad hoc networks
Authors: H. Singh, S. Saxena, S. Singh
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Modeling analysis and simulation of wireless and mobile systems (2002)

In this paper we study the energy cost (protocol processing and communication cost) and goodput of two different flavors of TCP in ad hoc networks. We implemented a testbed and measured the actual energy cost as well as goodput of running TCP-SACK in ad hoc network scenarios. We also implemented Explicit Link Failure Notification (ELFN)[1] and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)[2] in Newreno and measured its performance. We see that the use of ECN & ELFN does yield higher goodput in most cases with a corresponding lower total energy cost. We see an energy savings of between 20% and 500% depending on the network conditions.
Properly Posed Sets of Nodes for Multivariate Lagrange Interpolation in Cs
Authors: Xue-Zhang Liang, Chun-Mei Lü, Ren-Zhong Feng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

In this paper, we apply techniques from the theory of ideals and varieties in algebraic geometry to study the geometric structure of a properly posed set of nodes (or PPSN, for short) for multivariate Lagrange interpolation along an algebraic hypersurface. We provide a hyperplane-superposition process to construct the PPSN for interpolation along an algebraic hypersurface, and as a result, we offer a clear understanding of the geometric structure of the PPSN for multivariate Lagrange interpolation in Cs.
