Movement model, hits distribution and learning in virtual keyboarding
Authors: Shumin Zhai, Alison Sue, Johnny Accot
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

In a ten-session experiment, six participants practiced typing with an expanding rehearsal method on an optimized virtual keyboard. Based on a large amount of in-situ performance data, this paper reports the following findings. First, the Fitts-digraph movement efficiency model of virtual keyboards is revised. The format and parameters of Fitts' law used previously in virtual keyboards research were incorrect. Second, performance limit predictions of various layouts are calculated with the new model. Third, learning with expanding rehearsal intervals for maximum memory benefits is effective, but many improvements of the training algorithm used can be made in the future. Finally, increased visual load when typing previously practiced text did not significantly change users' performance at this stage of learning, but typing unpracticed text did have a performance effect, suggesting a certain degree of text specific learning when typing on virtual keyboards

Intentional structures of documents
Authors: Tazi Saïd, Fabrice Evrard
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

Document structures constitute a means to organize document parts in terms of logical elements (e.g. headings, paragraphs, sections, etc.). Document structures can be looked at in terms of layout and formatting features such as pages, columns, and so on. Despite the wide diversity of document structures, authors intentions are not taken into account. The concept of intentions is considered here as the effects that authors intend to have on their readers. It includes the reasons that led the authors to write the document and to select certain features instead of others. Intentional structures are a set of relations between document fragments that make explicit authors' intentions. Intentional structures are generally implicit. We want to help authors to make some of their intentions more explicit. This paper presents a new model based on speech act theory dealing with intentional structures and arguments of how it can be used to enhance written communication.

Broadcast communication delay metric for the iPSC/2 and iPSC/860 hypercubes
Authors: C. L. McCreary, M. E. McArdle, J. D. McCreary
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

When determining the granularity of a program to be executed in parallel, it is important to have valid information on the cost of communication for the system on which the program is to be run. Previous studies have measured the node-to-node communication performance on the Intel Hypercube systems. This work measures the performance of multicast communication on the Intel iPSC/2 and iPSC/860 hypercubes and derives equations modelling the cost of broadcast communication.

Towards scalability in tuple spaces
Authors: Philipp Obreiter, Guntram Gräf
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Applications in eCommerce and Ubiquitous Computing ask for coordination of highly distributed and heterogenous data sources and services. Tuple spaces offer a data-driven coordination model, hence they may be used for this purpose. However, research on distributed tuple spaces has not resolved yet how to render tuple spaces scalable. This is partly due to their informal conception. This paper formalizes tuple spaces and introduces a new concept for achieving scalability. It generalizes existing concepts and may lead to scalability in some application areas.

General Unified Theory of Intelligence: Its Central Conceptions and Specific Application to Domains of Cognitive Science
Authors: Morton Wagman
Venue:  (1997)

:The general unified theory of intelligence addresses the cognitive functions of thinking, reasoning, and problem solving. At an abstract level, this theory construes the intellective functions of humans and computers as, respectively, restricted and directed forms of the logic of implication. In other words, human intelligence operates according to production rules. Here, Wagman presents the central tenets and research elaboration of the general unified theory of intelligence that embraces both human and artifical intelligence across the cognitive domains of scientific discovery processes, inductive and deductive reasoning, and the mechanisms basic to analogical thinking and problem solving.

Role analysis
Authors: Viktor Kuncak, Patrick Lam, Martin Rinard
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (2002)

We present a new role system in which the type (or role) of each object depends on its referencing relationships with other objects, with the role changing as these relationships change. Roles capture important object and data structure properties and provide useful information about how the actions of the program interact with these properties. Our role system enables the programmer to specify the legal aliasing relationships that define the set of roles that objects may play, the roles of procedure parameters and object fields, and the role changes that procedures perform while manipulating objects. We present an interprocedural, compositional, and context-sensitive role analysis algorithm that verifies that a program maintains role constraints.

An overview of the Rialto real-time architecture
Authors: Michael B. Jones, Daniel L. McCulley, Alessandro Forin, Paul J. Leach, Daniela Roşu, Daniel L. Roberts
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

The goal of the Rialto project at Microsoft Research is to build a system architecture supporting coexisting independent real-time (and non-real-time) programs. Unlike traditional embedded-systems real-time environments, where timing and resource analysis among competing tasks can be done off-line, it is our goal to allow multiple independently authored real-time applications with varying timing and resource requirements to dynamically coexist and cooperate to share the limited physical resources available to them, as well as also coexisting with non-real-time applications.This paper gives an overview of the Rialto real-time architecture as it is implemented today and reports on some of the early results obtained. In particular, it describes the use of time constraints, activities, CPU and other resource reservation, and the system resource planner, and how they work together to achieve our goal of providing a flexible, dynamic real-time computing environment.

An iterative substructuring mehtod for div-stable finite element approximations of the Oseen problem
Venue: Computing (2001)

We apply an iterative substructuring algorithm with conditions of Robin-Robin type to the discretized Oseen problem appearing as a linearized variant of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Here we consider finite element approximations using velocity/pressure pairs which satisfy the Babu&sbreve;ka-Brezzi stability condition. After proving well-posedness and strong convergence of the method, we derive an a-posteriori error estimate which controls convergence of the discrete subdomain solutions to the global discrete solution by measuring the jumps of the velocities at the interface. Additionally we obtain information how to design a parameter of the Robin interface condition which essentially influences the convergence speed. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results and the applicability of the method.
The Non-Gaussian nature of bibliometric and scientometric distributions: a new approach to interpretation
Authors: Ludmila E. Ivancheva
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

An attempt has been made to give an answer to the question: Why do most bibliometric and scientometric laws reveal characters of Non-Gaussian distributions, i.e., have unduly long tails? We tried to apply the approach of the so-called Universal Law, discovered by G. Stankov ([1997], [1998]). The basic principle we have used here is that of the reciprocity of energy and space. A new wave concept of scientific information has been propounded, in which terms the well-known bibliometric and scientometric distributions find a rather satisfactory explanation. One of the made corollaries is that &alpha; = 1 is the most reasonable value for the family of Zipf laws, applied to information or social phenomena.
Analytical Expansion and Numerical Approximation of the Fermi-Dirac Integrals {\cal F}j(x) of Order j=−1/2 and j=1/2
Authors: Frank G. Lether
Venue: Journal of Scientific Computing (2000)

This paper uses properties of the Weyl semiintegral and semiderivative, along with Oldham's representation of the Randles&ndash;Sevcik function from electrochemistry, to derive infinite series expansions for the Fermi&ndash;Dirac integrals {\cal F}j(x), &minus;&infin;<x<&infin;, j&equals;&minus;1/2, 1/2. The practical use of these expansions for the numerical approximation of {\cal F}&minus;1/2(x) and {\cal F}1/2(x) over finite intervals is investigated and an extension of these results to the higher order cases j&equals;3/2, 5/2, 7/2 is outlined.
