The func_ref expression evaluates to a (generic or specific) function identifier, which may be the same as the function that the expression is a part of, thus allowing recursive function invocations. The expression labelled arg evaluates to an arbitrary object or aggregate object. The semantics of evaluating function applications was discussed in detail in section 2. For example, to set the name of a person, we evaluate the following expression   FunAssign(function name.person) (p1,'John')  In this example, the first expression is itself a function call, applying the function FunAssign to the function name.person (an example of a specific function reference). This returns the oid of the function that sets a person's name, which is subsequently applied to a tuple of two elements, the oid of the person and the new name (a string o...

We hypothesized that these high myopia loci might exhibit allelic heterogeneity and be responsible for moderate /mild or common myopia.  Methods  Cycloplegic and manifest refraction were performed on 38 Jewish and 40 Amish families. Individuals with at least -1.00 D in each meridian of both eyes were classified as myopic. Genomic DNA was genotyped with 12 markers on chromosomes 12q21-23 and 18p11.3. Parametric and nonparametric linkage analyses were conducted to determine whether susceptibility alleles at these loci are important in families with less severe, clinical forms of myopia.  Results  There was no strong evidence of linkage of common myopia to these candidate regions  all two-point and multipoint heterogeneity LOD scores were < 1.0 and non-parametric linkage p-values were > 0.01. However, one Amish family showed slight evidence of linkage (LOD>1.0) on 12q  another 3 Amish families each gave LOD >1.0 on 18p  and 3 Jewish families each gave LOD >1.0 on 12q.  Conclusions  Significant evidence of linkage (LOD> 3) of myopia was not found on chromosome 18p or 12q loci in these families. These results suggest that these loci do not play a major role in the causation of common myopia in our families studied.

Szabó J. Lörincz G. Antal G. Kovács A. Lörincz:2009-05-24 Correspondence and offprint requests to J. Kormendy-Rácz Wittmeyer’s pseudoinverse iterative algorithm is formulated  as a dynamic connectionist Data Compression and Reconstruction (DCR) network, and subnets of this type are supplemented by the winner-take-all paradigm. The winner is selected upon the goodness-of-fit of the input reconstruction. The network can be characterised as a competitive-cooperative-competitive architecture by virtue of the contrast enhancing properties of the pseudoinverse subnets. The network is capable of fast learning. The adopted learning method gives rise to increased sampling in the vicinity of dubious boundary regions that resembles the phenomenon of categorical perception. The generalising abilities of the scheme allow one to utilise single bit connection strengths. The network is robust against input noise and contrast levels, shows little sensitivity to imprecise connection strengths, and is promising for mixed VLSI implementation with on-chip learning properties. The features of the DCR network are demonstrated on the NIST database of handprinted characters.

Because of their deployment in critical applications, the dependability modeling and analysis of Multiple-Phased Systems is a task of primary relevance.

This paper is centered on the description and application of DEEM, a dependability modeling and evaluation tool for Multiple Phased Systems. DEEM supports a powerful and efficient methodology for the analytical dependability modeling and evaluation of Multiple Phased Systems, based on Deterministic and Stochastic Petri Nets and on Markov Regenerative Processes.

FD consists of a functional equation with a self-referential term, given as a dynamical system of a one-dimensional map. Through the time evolution of this system, a dynamical graph (a network) emerges. This graph has three interesting properties  (i) vertices appear as stable elements, (ii) the terminals of directed edges change in time, and (iii) some vertices determine the dynamics of edges, and edges determine the stability of the vertices, complementarily. Two aspects of FD are studied, the generation of a graph (network) structure and the dynamics of this graph (network) in the system.

Studies show that for a model to be implemented, it must have good correspondence with the mental model of the system held by the user of the model. The user must feel confident that the simulation model corresponds to this mental model. An understanding of how the model works is required. Simulation models for implementation must be developed step by step, starting with a simple model, the simulation prototype. After this has been explained to the user, a more detailed model can be developed on the basis of feedback from the user. Software for simulation prototyping is discussed, e.g., with regard to the ease with which models and output can be explained and the speed with which small models can be written.

Fu:2009-05-24 Hedging of fixed income securities remains one of the most challenging problems faced by financial institutions. The predominantly used measures of duration and convexity do not completely capture the interest rate risks borne by the holder of these securities. Using historical data for the entire yield curve, we perform a principal components analysis and find that the first four factors capture over 99.99% of the yield curve variation. Incorporating these factors into the pricing of arbitrary fixed income securities via Monte Carlo simulation, we derive perturbation analysis (PA) estimators for the price sensitivities with respect to the factors. Computational results for mortgage-backed securities (MBS) indicate that using these sensitivity measures in hedging provides far more protection against interest risk exposure than the conventional measures of duration and convexity.

This paper is part of a general attempt to develop a coherent understanding of the implications and potentials of ubiquitous computing in the context of everyday city life. On a more specific level the paper examines how the notion of social friction can be helpful in the development and analysis of ubiquitous computing in relation to art and design. Social friction is articulated as a critical position, which could be applied as a strategy for design. Our approach consists of a theoretical analysis and precedes concrete development and real-life experiments. As such the paper aims to establish a steppingstone from which to launch actual digital designs. We argue that by designing for the social friction, which is an intrinsic characteristic of everyday life, new forms of social and cultural potentials can be released. By means of discussing CityNova, a vision for a possible use of ubiquitous computing in urban space, we explore how this approach might lead to systems that create new ways of experiencing the city.

We propose a search algorithm to find the combination of the number of taps and coe#cient bit-width that leads to the minimum number of total partial sums, and hence to the least power consumption. We show that the minimum number of taps does not necessarily lead to the least power consumption in fully parallel FIR filter architectures. This is particularly true if the reduction of the bit-width of the coe#cients is taken into account. We show that power is directly related to the total number of partial sums in the FIR filter, which in turn is determined by the number of bits set to 1 in the coe#cients. We have developed a search algorithm that achieves up to 36% less power consumption when compared to an implementation using the minimum number of taps.

Time spent on direct instruction and particularly the direct instruction of basic skills is associated with school learning (Wang, Haertel & Walberg, 1993). With the increased interest in constructivistic conceptions of learning and teaching today, educators with constructivistic orientations contend that various forms of knowledge and skills are applied more generally when constructed by the learners themselves as opposed to explicitly taught  "knowledge is made, not acquired" (Phillips, 2000, p. 7). Such a view nevertheless often leads to an inclination to reject direct instruction by the teacher (see, for example, Brooks & Brooks, 1993). It should be noted, however, that many of the discussions of constructivistic orientations to learning and instruction are at the level of slogan and clichÃ© (Duffy & Cunningham, 1996  Finn & Ravitch, 1996  Kozloff, 1998). In addition, the term constructivism has come to serve as an umbrella term for a diversity of views (Phillips, 1995  2000).

At the heart of our model is a strategic user of a certain type, an intrinsic and private parameter that reflects the user's generosity. The user decides whether to contribute or free-ride based on how the current burden of contributing in the system compares to her type. We derive the emerging cooperation level in equilibrium and  quantify the effect of providing free-riders with degraded service on the emerging cooperation. We find that this penalty  mechanism is beneficial mostly when the "generosity level" of the society (i.e., the average type) is low. To quantify the social cost of free identities, we extend the model to account for dynamic scenarios with turnover (users joining and leaving) and with whitewashers  users who strategically leave the system and re-join with a new identity. We find that the imposition of penalty on all legitimate newcomers incurs a significant social loss only under high turnover rates in conjunction with intermediate societal generosity levels.

Sriram Dinesh Manocha:2009-05-24 We present an algorithm for complete path planning for translating polyhedral robots in 3D. Instead of exactly computing an explicit representation of the free space, we compute a roadmap that captures its connectivity. This representation encodes the complete connectivity of free space and allows us to perform exact path planning. We construct the roadmap by computing deterministic samples in free space that lie on an adaptive volumetric grid. Our algorithm is simple to implement and uses two tests  a complex cell test and a star-shaped test. These tests can be efficiently performed on polyhedral objects using max-norm distance computation and linear programming. The complexity of our algorithm varies as a function of the size of narrow passages in the configuration space. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithm on environments with very small narrow passages or no collision-free paths.

However, the basic outline is the  same  central to both models are a jetty and accompanying  tankfarm facilities belonging to a new chemical plant in the   Port of Rotterdam. Both the supply of raw materials and   the export of finished products occur through ships loading   and unloading at the jetty. Since disruptions in the plants  production process are very expensive, buffer stock is  needed to allow for variations in ship arrivals and overseas  exports through large ships.   Ports provide jetty facilities for ships to load and unload  their cargo. Since ship delays are costly, terminal operators  attempt to minimize their number and duration. Here, simulation  has proved to be a very suitable tool. However, in port  simulation models, the impact of the arrival process of ships  on the model outcomes tends to be underestimated. This article  considers three arrival processes  stock-controlled,   equidistant per ship type, and Poisson. We assess how their  deployment in a port simulation model, based on data from a  real case study, affects the efficiency of the loading and  unloading process. Poisson, which is the chosen arrival  process in many client-oriented simulations, actually performs worst in terms of both ship delays and required storage capacity. Stock-controlled arrivals perform best with regard to ship delays and required storage capacity.   In the case study two types of arrival processes were  considered. The first type are the so-called stock-controlled  arrivals, i.e., ship arrivals are scheduled in such a way, that  a base stock level is maintained in the tanks.

In Couper (2002) outlines the "challenges and opportunities" of recent and stillemerging technological developments on the conduct of survey research. This paper focuses on one such development -- the use of computer-assisted survey instruments in place of paper-andpencil questionnaires -- and it focuses on one particular opportunity which this development presents  the ability to improve efficiency, "flow," and naturalness, and in general make the interview experience a more pleasant one for all participants, while still controlling question wording and sequencing. Moral arguments can be raised in defense of such efforts  the potential for important practical benefits, including improved survey cooperation, lends more mundane but perhaps more potent support. Although the research literature is surprisingly scant, there is some evidence that improved instrument design can reduce nonresponse. A recent effort by the U.S. Census Bureau to redesign the core instrument for the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) offers additional support. Motivated in large measure by evidence of increasing unit nonresponse and attrition, the primary goal of the SIPP redesign effort was to improve the interview process, and in particular to seek ways to avoid violations of conversational norms (e.g., Grice, 1975). A great many of the SIPP interview process improvements would not have been feasible without the computerization of the survey instrument. This paper briefly summarizes many of the technology-based changes implemented in the SIPP instrument, and briefly describes a set of field experiments used to develop and refine the new procedures and to evaluate their success in achieving SIPP's redesign goals.

We then perform a bottleneck analysis by examining the performance of each individual subsystem and conclude that the disk subsystem limits performance. By adding a custom interconnect board with a high-speed memory and bus system and parity engine, we are able to achieve a performance speedup of 8 to 15 over a comparative system using only off-theshelf hardware.

Slowly varying effects are assumed here, where the basic theory may be given as a true relativity theory, involving the separation distance between two charges and its time derivatives.  This force of induction, Eq. (1), yields Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction for the special case of an electromotive force (emf) around a fixed closed loop.

An existing pressure sensor consisting of an array of 44    44 piezoresistive elements is used to measure the grip pattern. An interface has been developed to acquire pressure images from the sensor. The values of the pixels in the pressure-pattern images are used as inputs for a verification algorithm, which is currently implemented in software on a PC. The verification algorithm is based on a likelihoodratio classifier for Gaussian probability densities. First results indicate that it is feasible to use grip-pattern recognition for biometric verification.

A variety of high-throughput techniques have been devised, each of which leads to a separate definition of an interaction network. The concept of differential association rule mining is introduced to study the annotations of proteins in the context of one or more interaction networks. Differences among items across edges of a network are explicitly targeted. As a second step we identify differences between networks that are separately defined on the same set of nodes. The technique of differential association rule mining is applied to the comparison of protein annotations within an interaction network and between different interaction networks. In both cases we were able to find rules that explain known properties of protein interaction networks as well as rules that show promise for advanced study.

Fundamentally, a generic attribute description using a constraint-based approach will allow many of the important aspects of role, such as scope, activation and deactivation, to be included. Furthermore, the commonly accepted concept of role hierarchy is challenged from the point of view of subsidiarity in real organisations, with the suggestion that role hierarchy has limited usefulness that does not seem to apply widely.

In this paper,  by regarding the transductive learning  of the kernel matrix as a missing data  problem, we propose a Bayesian hierarchical  model for the problem and devise the  Tanner-Wong data augmentation algorithm  for making inference on the model. The  Tanner-Wong algorithm is closely related to  Gibbs sampling, and it also bears a strong resemblance  to the expectation-maximization  (EM) algorithm. For an e#cient implementation,  we propose a simplified Bayesian hierarchical  model and the corresponding TannerWong  algorithm. We express the relationship  between the kernel on the input space  and the kernel on the output space as a  symmetric-definite generalized eigenproblem.

Due to no-arbitrage arguments, our set of investment opportunities increases and the set of possible equivalent martingale measures shrinks. Therefore, we obtain a modified mean-variance hedging problem, which takes into account the observed additional market information. Solving this by means of the techniques developed by Gourieroux, Laurent and Pham (1998), we obtain an explicit description of the optimal hedging strategy and an admissible, constrained variance-optimal signed martingale measure, that generates both the approximation price and the observed option prices.

Clearly, energy evaluations constitute a significant portion of computational time. We  hypothesize that given the structured nature of algorithms that search for candidate conformations  such as stochastic methods, energy evaluation computations can be cached and reused,  thus saving computational time and e#ort. In this paper, we present a caching approach and  apply it to 2D triangular HP lattice model. We provide theoretical analysis and prediction of  the expected savings from caching as applied this model. We conduct experiments using a sophisticated  evolutionary algorithm that contains elements of local search, memetic algorithms,  diversity replacement, etc. in order to verify our hypothesis and demonstrate a significant level  1  of savings in computational e#ort and time that caching can provide.

Two aspects of human-robot interaction are considered  the ways in which the global view of the system may be conveyed to the operators, and how the operators may influence the behavior of the system during the course of its operation. The results of analysis favor peer-topeer information-based interactions between the operators and the network whereby the humans act as extended sensors and communication nodes of the network itself.

In our approach, the  incompressible Navier-Stokes (NS) equations governing fluid motion have been modeled in a novel way to achieve a realistic  animation. We introduce the Lattice Boltzmann Model (LBM), which simulates the microscopic movement of fluid particles by linear  and local rules on a grid of cells so that the macroscopic averaged properties obey the desired NS equations. The LBM is defined on a  2D or 3D discrete lattice, which is used to solve fluid animation based on different boundary conditions. The LBM simulation generates,  in real-time, an accurate velocity field and can incorporate an optional temperature field to account for the buoyancy force of hot gas.

37:oai CiteSeerXPSU 10.1.1.1.1519:Survey Taxonomy of Packet Classification Techniques:David Taylor Sa Da Prot Dp Flowid Pt:2009-04-19 Packet classification is an enabling function for a variety of Internet applications including Quality of Service, security, monitoring, and multimedia communications. In order to classify a packet as belonging to a particular flow or set of flows, network nodes must perform a search over a set of filters using multiple fields of the packet as the search key. In general, there have been two major threads of research addressing packet classification  algorithmic and architectural. A few pioneering groups of researchers posed the problem, provided complexity bounds, and offered a collection of algorithmic solutions. Subsequently, the design space has been vigorously explored by many offering new algorithms and improvements upon existing algorithms. Given the inability of early algorithms to meet performance constraints imposed by high speed links, researchers in industry and academia devised architectural solutions to the problem. This thread of research produced the most widely-used packet classification device technology, Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM). New architectural research combines intelligent algorithms and novel architectures to eliminate many of the unfavorable characteristics of current TCAMs. We observe that the community appears to be converging on a combined algorithmic and architectural approach to the problem. Using a taxonomy based on the high-level approach to the problem and a minimal set of running examples, we provide a survey of the seminal and recent solutions to the problem. It is our hope to foster a deeper understanding of the various packet classification techniques while providing a useful framework for discerning relationships and distinctions.

A neural network has been designed to deal with various types of touching observed frequently in numeral strings. A numeral string image is split into a number of line segments while stroke extraction is being performed and the segments are represented with straight lines. Four types of primitive are defined based on the lines and used for representing the numeral string in more abstractive way and extracting clues on touching information from the string. Potential segmentation points are located using the neural network by active interpretation of the features collected from the primitives. Also, the run-length coding scheme is employed for efficient representation and manipulation of images. On a test set collected from real mail pieces, the segmentation accuracy of 89.1% was achieved, in image level, in a preliminary experiment. 1.

This method estimates the line direction and character orientation using the time sequence information of pen-tip coordinates and employs writingbox -free recognition with context processing combined. The method can cope with a mixture of vertical, horizontal and skewed lines with arbitrary character orientations. It is expected useful for tablet PC's, interactive electronic whiteboards and so on.

46:oai CiteSeerXPSU 10.1.1.1.1528:Data Transformation for Warehousing Web Data:Yan Zhu Christof Yan Zhu Christof Bornhövd Alejandro P. Buchmann:2009-04-19 In order to analyze market trends and make reasonable business plans, a company's local data is not sufficient. Decision making must also be based on information from suppliers, partners and competitors. This external data can be obtained from the Web in many cases, but must be integrated with the company's own data, for example, in a data warehouse. To this end, Web data has to be mapped to the star schema of the warehouse. In this paper we propose a semi-automatic approach to support this transformation process. Our approach is based on the use a rooted labeled tree representation of Web data and the existing warehouse schema. Based on this common view we can compare source and target schemata to identify correspondences. We show how the correspondences guide the transformation to be accomplished automatically. We also explain the meaning of recursion and restructuring in mapping rules, which are the core of the transformation algorithm.

The approach is  based on considering a large set of simple discriminant projections and  finding the subset with higher classification performance. In order to implement  the feature selection process we propose the use of the adaboost  algorithm. The performance of this technique is tested in a multiclass  classification problem related to the production of cork stoppers for wine  bottles.

Given any collection of texts, we first automatically extract a set of index terms describing each text. Next, we use a particular lattice conceptual clustering method to build a network of clustered texts whose nodes are described using the index terms. We argue that the resulting network supports an hybrid navigational approach to text retrieval - implemented into an actual user interface - that combines browsing potentials with good retrieval performance. We present the results of an experiment on subject searching where this approach outperformed a conventional Boolean retrieval system.

Viredaz Marc A. Viredaz:2009-04-19 Energy management has become one of the great challenges in portable computing. This is the result of the increasing energy requirements of modern portable devices without a corresponding increase in battery technology.  Sleep is a new energy reduction technique for handheld devices that is most effective when the handheld's processor is lightly loaded, such as when the user is reading a document or looking at a web page. When possible, rather than using the processor's idle mode, Sleep tries to put the processor in sleep mode for short periods (less than one second) without affecting the user's experience. To enhance the perception that the system is on, an image is maintained on the display and activity is resumed as a result of external events such as touch-screen and button activity. We have implemented Sleep on a prototype pocket computer, where it has reduced energy consumption by up to 60%.

Project Summary This project explores fundamental systems issues in query processing performance. We investigate this problem from three different directions  client-server processing, heterogeneous environments, and database compression. First, we devised new query processing strategies than push processing capabilities into the client, and we devised query execution plans that can span server and clients. This allows us to trade resource usage between client, server and the interconnection network. We then extended this work to parallel query processing in heterogeneous environments  we are currently implementing a parallel dataflow engine that adapts naturally to resource imbalances at the hardware components. Last, we are investigating the use of compression in database systems. We devised a new framework for database compression and new query processing and query optimization strategies to integrate compression into a modern query processor. All our techniques have been implemented in the NSF-funded Cornell Predator object-relational database system. We extended the system with several ways to store compressed relations, and we implemented a fully compression-aware query optimizer. To best of our knowledge, our work is the first result on compression-aware query optimization.

XML has revolutionized data storage as well as representation and transfer methods in today’s internet applications. The growing popularity of XML as a language for the representation of data has enabled its use for several applications involving storage, interchange, and retrieval of data. Several textual query languages have been proposed for XML retrieval, including the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) recommendation of XQuery. Native XML database systems have been implemented, all of which provide methods for user communication with the database, although most communication methods use text-based query languages or form-based interfaces. QBT, the language presented here, is one of the first attempts toward a generalized alternative language that is based on human factors of familiarity. It is ideal for documents with a simple yet highly recognizable layout (e.g., poems, dictionaries, journals, etc.). We present the QBT language and report results from an initial usability test that shows promise for this type of an interface as a generalized user–database communication method. Index Terms—Complex structured data, Extensible Markup Language (XML), information shape, query evaluation, query languages, query processing, visual languages, XQuery.

Each of these types of database offer an extended set of features when compared to a traditional relational database. In turn, these new features require new methods in order to secure the data held within. In this paper, a summary of the various models presented for securing next-generation databases will be given.

The foundry process was modeled using Pro Model to identify bottlenecks and evaluate machine performance, cycle times and production data (total parts, rejects, throughput, products/hr) essential for efficient production control. Results from the current system identified assembly machine work area as the bottleneck (although utilization was greater than 95% for two assembly machines) resulting in high work-in-process (WIP) inventory level, low resource and machine utilization. Based on these results, optimum numbers were identified through use of scenarios by varying the number of assembly machines and processing time of each machine. In addition to these scenarios, strategies for production control involving buffer sizes were also made.

In today's competitive environment, the globalization of markets has rapidly substituted the traditional integrated business. The competitive success of an organization no longer depends only on its own efforts, but relies on the efficiency of the entire supply chain. Therefore, building an effective supply chain is fast becoming paramount in today's marketplace. Distributed Supply Chain (DSC) Simulation has been identified as one of the best means to test and analyze the performance of supply chains. The Generic Runtime Infrastructure for Distributed Simulation (GRIDS) is a middleware that supports the reuse and interoperation of DSC simulations. This paper reports the experience on employing the GRIDS to support the distributed collaboration of an automobile manufacture supply chain simulation. Several advantages of GRIDS are also discussed here which make it an ideal middleware for DSC simulations.

However, the effort exerted by the intermediate nodes are often unobservable by the source and/or destination nodes. We show it is possible to overcome this problem of hidden action by designing contracts, in the form of payments, to induce cooperation from the intermediate nodes. Interestingly, the ability to monitor per-hop or per-path outcomes, even if costless to implement, may not improve the welfare of the participants or the performance of the network.

Increased investments in agricultural R&D can lower food prices by increasing food production, and lower food prices benefit the urban poor because they often spend more than 60% of their income on food.

The semantic representation has to be integrated with domain ontologies to fully exploit domain-specific knowledge. This knowledge can be used for refining ambiguous user queries by closing the conceptual gap between the user and the information to be retrieved. In our previous research, we have introduced Enhanced Multimedia Meta Objects (EMMOs) as a new approach for semantic multimedia meta modeling, as well as the query algebra EMMA, which is adequate and complete with regard to the EMMO model. This paper focuses on the refinement of EMMA queries by incorporating ontological knowledge.

Sukhatme Deborah Estrin Mani Srivastava:2009-04-19 this paper we describe   ######################################## a new distributed,   robotic sensor methodology developed for applications including  characterization of environmental structure and phenomena.  NIMS exploits deployed infrastructure that provides the benefits  of precise motion, aerial suspension, and low energy sustainable  operations in complex environments. NIMS nodes may explore a  three-dimensional environment and enable the deployment of  sensor nodes at diverse locations and viewing perspectives.  NIMS characterization of phenomena in a three dimensional  space must now consider the selection of sensor sampling points  in both time and space. Thus, we introduce a new approach of  mobile node adaptive sampling with the objective of minimizing  error between the actual and reconstructed spatiotemporal  behavior of environmental variables while minimizing required  motion. In this approach, the NIMS node first explores as an  agent, gathering a statistical description of phenomena using a   ##################################approach. By iteratively   increasing sampling resolution, guided adaptively by the  measurement results themselves, this NIMS sampling enables  reconstruction of phenomena with a systematic method for  balancing accuracy with sampling resource cost in time and  motion. This adaptive sampling method is described analytically  and also tested with simulated environmental data. Experimental  evaluations of adaptive sampling algorithms have also been  completed. Specifically, NIMS experimental systems have been  developed for monitoring of spatiotemporal variation of  atmospheric climate phenomena.

It then relates this to efforts at localization--- creating computer software in the languages of the country---and argues that all such efforts have been power-oriented. This means that only those languages have been selected for localization which are used in the domains of power---government, bureaucracy, judiciary, military, commerce, media, education, research etc---thus further strengthening them vis a vis the marginalized languages of the people. It is therefore argued that the efforts at localization should be rights-based i.e. all language communities should be considered equal and their languages should be localized not because of their present use in the domains of power but because they too should be strengthened by being put to such use.

This occurs frequently in practice, and it invariably results in the occurrence of inconsistencies among the different representations. We propose to resolve this situation by introducing a multiple representation management system (MRMS), the schema of which includes rules that specify how to identify representations of the same entity, rules that specify consistency requirements, and rules used to restore consistency when necessary. In this paper, we demonstrate by means of a prototype and a realworld case study that it is possible to implement a multiple representation schema language on top of an objectrelational database management system. Specifically, it is demonstrated how it is possible to map the constructs of the language used for specifying the multiple representation schema to functionality available in Oracle. Though some limitations exist, Oracle has proven to be a suitable platform for implementing an MRMS.

Many methods exist for reconstructing such history, or phylogeny, but most of them are based on an assumption that evolution of given gene family can be represented as a tree. However some families of genes may have alternative historical structure that cannot be represented as a tree. Such history can result from events such as recombination, gene conversion and horizontal gene transfer, and require not tree but network for accurate representation. Parallel substitutions are also sources of non-tree networks. For the purpose of understanding such history we developed a program Netview, which enables constructing phylogenetic network based on the sequence data.  2 Netview  Netview uses following approach to construct a network  First, it constructs a NJ-tree [1] for provided set of sequences, using nucleotide di#erence distance matrix (Fig. 1).

82:oai CiteSeerXPSU 10.1.1.21.7175:Adding View Support to ODMG-93:M. Dobrovnik J. Eder:2009-04-15 A concept to introduce external models in object oriented databases is presented, such that application programs do no longer interface directly the whole conceptual schema, but work against external schemas specifically designed for the applications requirements. There are virtually no restrictions for such applications, since the interaction with the database takes place via updateable views.  The data model is a somewhat simplified form of ODMG-93 [4], where we incorporated the additional constructs we need for the external schema definition. The approach makes a clear distinction between types and classes, and also separates the type and class hierarchies of the conceptual schema from the external type and class hierarchies. With type derivation, we provide a powerful type restructuring mechanism, which allows to define an external type which is based on a conceptual type. In the derivation process, one can omit conceptual components and methods or redefine their types. Additional methods can be defined for external types as well. 1  To appear in  "Advances in Databases and Information Systems  ADBIS '94" , Proc. of the Intl. Workshop of the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter  By defining well formed external schemas via constraints and schema invariants, we are able to guarantee unambiguous method resolution, steadiness of method resolution and compliance with the covariant subtyping principle.

The designer of the external schema can make use of all information contained in the conceptual schema, in particular conceptual methods can be called from externally defined ones.

This procedure was used in ref [1]. The analysis procedures were verified by a simple montecarlo program which generates the photomultiplier spectra. 2 THE EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS  These measurements have been carried out in the optoelectronic laboratory in Pisa with two different setups.

Tamer Özsu Duane Szafron:2009-04-12 Object-oriented computing is influencing many areas of computer science including software engineering, user interfaces, operating systems, programming languages and database systems. The appeal of object-orientation is attributed to its higher levels of abstraction for modeling real world concepts, its support for incremental development and its potential for interoperability. Despite many advances, object-oriented computing is still in its infancy and a universally acceptable definition of an object-oriented data model is virtually nonexistent, although some standardization efforts are underway. This report presents the TIGUKAT  1  object model definition that is the result of an investigation of object-oriented modeling features which are common among earlier proposals, along with some distinctive qualities that extend the power and expressibility of this model beyond others. The literature recognizes two perspectives of an object model  the structural view and the behavioral view. ...

Future work in the field will have greater impact if it is based and built on existing standards. Well-accepted international standards for multimedia content descriptions are MPEG-7 and TV-Anytime. However, these standards do not propose a concrete methodology and language for the integration of domainspecific knowledge for the multimedia content. Moreover, domain-specific knowledge for a specific domain related to the content of a video may be described in a well-accepted ontology description language such as OWL, which is independent of MPEG-7 and TV-Anytime.

The multidatabase system is a database system which integrates pre--existing databases allowing the users to access simultaneously database systems (DBMSs) formulating a global query based on a global schema.  The component DBMSs are assumed to be heterogeneous and autonomous. Heterogeneity refers to different user interfaces, data models, query languages, and query optimization strategies [5]. Local autonomy means that each DBMS retains complete control over local data and processing. As result of this, its cost model may not be available to the global query optimizer.  When a global query is submitted, it is decomposed into two types of queries [1]   -- subqueries, operating on sharable data items from local databases,  -- assembling queries, consisting of, CiteSeerX  2009-04-15 2007-11-22 2000 application/pdf text http //citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.33.8596 http //www.edbt2000.uni-konstanz.de/phd-workshop/papers/Josinski.pdf en 10.1.1.27.4704 10.1.1.51.8352 Metadata may be used without restrictions as long as the oai identifier remains attached to it.

Nowadays, the interest to work simultaneously with data stored in several databases is growing. Multidatabase Systems (MDBS) have been proposed as a solution to work with different pre-existing autonomous databases. Federated Database Systems (FDBS) are a special type of MDBS where an integrated schema is provided. This integrated schema is the result of an integration process among the schemata of the pre-existing autonomous databases. In our case we have built a FDBS that integrates several heterogeneous relational databases by using a particular type of Knowledge Representation system based on Description Logics (DL system) . The integrated schema is represented as a terminology formed by a set of classes and attributes. Although there has been a lot of research about the problems of translation and integration of schemata to obtain integrated ones, the problem of query processing against these integrated schemata has not been treated so much.

It has become clear that the object-oriented programming language design space is not a dichotomy. Instead, we have identified two fundamental mechanisms---templates and  empathy---and several different independent degrees of freedom for each. Templates create new objects in their own image, providing guarantees about the similarity of group members. Empathy allows an object to act as if it were some other object, thus providing sharing of state and behavior. The Smalltalk-80  TM  language,  1  Actors, Lieberman's Delegation  system, Self, and Hybrid each take differing stands on the forms of templates  1  Smalltalk-80  TM  is a trademark of Par CiteSeerX ACM Press 2009-04-12 2007-11-22 1989 application/postscript text http //citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.55.482 http //lcs.www.media.mit.edu/people/lieber/Lieberary/OOP/Treaty/Treaty.ps en 10.1.1.26.9545 10.1.1.118.6579 10.1.1.48.69 10.1.1.57.5195 10.1.1.9.570 10.1.1.47.511 10.1.1.127.5320 10.1.1.100.4334 10.1.1.5.3348 10.1.1.39.3374 10.1.1.56.4713 10.1.1.61.2065 10.1.1.27.3015 10.1.1.1.5960 10.1.1.67.5433 10.1.1.31.8109 10.1.1.68.4062 10.1.1.49.3986 10.1.1.122.9331 10.1.1.46.8283 10.1.1.54.5230 10.1.1.16.2055 10.1.1.137.5180 10.1.1.43.5722 10.1.1.68.2105 10.1.1.35.1247 10.1.1.30.1415 10.1.1.7.5014 10.1.1.102.3946 10.1.1.105.6469 10.1.1.26.223 10.1.1.26.8645 10.1.1.35.4104 10.1.1.39.6986 10.1.1.41.7822 10.1.1.42.9056 10.1.1.53.9325 10.1.1.71.1802 10.1.1.76.6993 10.1.1.89.9613 10.1.1.121.5599 10.1.1.122.3737 10.1.1.127.1894 10.1.1.55.5674 10.1.1.37.8260 10.1.1.2.2077 10.1.1.24.5782 10.1.1.19.780 10.1.1.2.4148 10.1.1.2.4173 10.1.1.131.902 10.1.1.30.2927 Metadata may be used without restrictions as long as the oai identifier remains attached to it.

In particular, we show that for every such program there exists an equivalent total program whose only recursive rule is of the form win( # X ) # move( # X  # Y )  @win( # Y )  where move is definable by a quantifier-free first-order formula. Also, for the non-inflationary semantics we derive a new normal form whose only recursive rule simulates a version of the game of life.

We present a new out-of-core sparse symmetric-indefinite factorization algorithm. The most significant innovation of the new algorithm is a dynamic partitioning method for the sparse factor. This partitioning method results in very low input-output traffic and allows the algorithm to run at high computational rates even though the factor is stored on a slow disk. Our implementation of the new code compares well with both high-performance incore sparse symmetric-indefinite codes and with a high-performance out-of-core sparse Cholesky code. More specifically, the new code provides a new capability that none of these existing codes has  it can factor symmetric indefinite matrices whose factors are larger than main memory  it is somewhat slower, but not by much. For example, it factors, on a conventional 32-bit workstation, an indefinite finite-element matrix whose factor size is about 10 GB in less than an hour. 1.

Its practical applicability is due to existing automatic tools which deal with tedious proofs. Another research area of increasing interest is formal language integration where the capabilities of each language are used to capture precisely some aspects of a system. In this paper we propose a general strategy for model-checking CSP-Z specications using as tool support the FDR model-checker. The CSP-Z language is a semantical integration of CSP and Z, such that CSP handles the concurrent aspects of a system, and Z the data structures part. We also present a modular approach for model-checking complex CSP-Z specications, specically to verify deadlock-freedom. Finally, we present a CSP-Z specication for a subset of a real Brazilian articial microssatellite, and apply the proposed strategy to prove that this specication is deadlock-free.
