Efficient Mapping Of Virtual Networks Onto A Shared Substrate, Jing Lu, Jonathan Turner
Efficient Mapping Of Virtual Networks Onto A Shared Substrate, Jing Lu, Jonathan Turner
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Virtualization has been proposed as a vehicle for overcoming the growing problem of internet ossification [1]. This paper studies the problem of mapping diverse virtual networks onto a common physical substrate. In particular, we develop a method for mapping a virtual network onto a substrate network in a cost-efficient way, while allocating sufficient capacity to virtual network links to ensure that the virtual network can handle any traffic pattern allowed by a general set of traffic constraints. Our approach attempts to find the best topology in a family of backbone-star topologies, in which a subset of nodes constitute the backbone, …
Hail: An Algorithm For The Hardware Accelerated Identification Of Languages, Master's Thesis, May 2006, Charles M. Kastner
Hail: An Algorithm For The Hardware Accelerated Identification Of Languages, Master's Thesis, May 2006, Charles M. Kastner
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
This thesis examines in detail the Hardware-Accelerated Identification of Languages (HAIL) project. The goal of HAIL is to provide an accurate means to identify the language and encoding used in streaming content, such as documents passed over a high-speed network. HAIL has been implemented on the Field-programmable Port eXtender (FPX), an open hardware platform developed at Washington University in St. Louis. HAIL can accurately identify the primary languages and encodings used in text at rates much higher than what can be achieved by software algorithms running on microprocessors.
An Improved Analysis For A Greedy Remote-Clique Algorithm Using Factor-Revealing Lps, Benjamin E. Birnbaum, Kenneth J. Goldman
An Improved Analysis For A Greedy Remote-Clique Algorithm Using Factor-Revealing Lps, Benjamin E. Birnbaum, Kenneth J. Goldman
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Given a complete graph with nonnegative edge weights satisfying the triangle inequality and a positive integer p, the remote-clique problem is to find a subset of p vertices having a maximum-weight induced subgraph. A simple greedy algorithm for the problem has been shown to have an approximation ratio of 4, but a tight example has not been provided. In this paper, we use the technique of factor revealing linear programs to prove that this algorithm actually achieves an approximation ratio of 2, matching the best-known ratio for the problem. The greedy algorithm's running time of O(pn) makes it the fastest …

A Soft Computing Framework For Software Effort Estimation, Xishi Huang, Danny Ho, Jing Ren, Luiz Fernando Capretz
A Soft Computing Framework For Software Effort Estimation, Xishi Huang, Danny Ho, Jing Ren, Luiz Fernando Capretz
Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications
Accurate software estimation such as cost estimation, quality estimation and risk analysis is a major issue in software project management. In this paper, we present a soft computing framework to tackle this challenging problem. We first use a preprocessing neuro-fuzzy inference system to handle the dependencies among contributing factors and decouple the effects of the contributing factors into individuals. Then we use a neuro-fuzzy bank to calibrate the parameters of contributing factors. In order to extend our framework into fields that lack of an appropriate algorithmic model of their own, we propose a default algorithmic model that can be replaced …
On The Existence Of Strong Solutions To Autonomous Differential Equations With Minimal Regularity, Charlie H. Cooke
On The Existence Of Strong Solutions To Autonomous Differential Equations With Minimal Regularity, Charlie H. Cooke
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
For proving the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to
dY/dt = F(Y), Y(0) = C,
the most quoted condition seen in elementary differential equations texts is that F(Y) and its first derivative be continuous. One wonders about the existence of a minimal regularity condition which allows unique strong solutions. In this note, a bizarre example is seen where F(Y) is not differentiable at an equilibrium solution; yet unique non-global strong solutions exist at each point, whereas global non-unique weak solutions are allowed. A characterizing theorem is obtained.

$H$-Vectors Of Generalized Associahedra And Noncrossing Partitions, Colum Watt, Thomas Brady, Christos A. Athanasiadis, Jon Mccammond
Articles
A uniform proof is given that the entries of the $h$-vector of the cluster complex $\Delta (\Phi)$, associated by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky to a finite root system $\Phi$, count elements of the lattice $\mathbf{L}$ of noncrossing partitions of corresponding type by rank. Similar interpretations for the $h$-vector of the positive part of $\Delta (\Phi)$ are provided. The proof utilizes the appearance of the complex $\Delta (\Phi)$ in the context of the lattice $\mathbf{L}$ in recent work of two of the authors, as well as an explicit shelling of $\Delta (\Phi)$.

We report the most precise measurement to date of a parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron–proton scattering. The measurement was carried out with a beam energy of 3.03 GeV and a scattering angle (θlab) = 6.0○ , with the result A PV = ( − 1.14 ± 0.24 ( stat ) ± 0.06 ( syst ) ) × 10−6 . From this we extract, at Q2 = 0.099 GeV2 , the strange form factor combination GsE + 0.080 GsM = 0.030 ± 0.025 ( stat ) ± 0.006 ( syst ) ± …
Electrical Pulse Formation During High Temperature Reaction Between Ni And Al, Mona Setoodeh, Karen S. Martirosyan, Dan Luss
Electrical Pulse Formation During High Temperature Reaction Between Ni And Al, Mona Setoodeh, Karen S. Martirosyan, Dan Luss
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications and Presentations
An electric voltage pulse (duration of about 2ms) with an amplitude of up to 0.6V was generated during the reaction between nickel and aluminum powders by a high temperature moving reaction front. The electrical signal formed during the initial stages of the combustion was annihilated before the moving front attained its maximum temperature. The voltage amplitude and combustion temperature depended on the particle size of the reactants as well as the Al to Ni ratio in the reactant mixture, and their largest values were attained for a mixture containing 27–31.5wt% Al. The combustion temperature increased when smaller Al particles were …
Public Access To Privately Owned Land In Maine, James M. Acheson
Public Access To Privately Owned Land In Maine, James M. Acheson
Maine Policy Review
In Maine, people have long used private land for recreation. James Acheson points out that this “open land” tradition—unique in the nation—has huge economic implications, especially for the state’s tourism industry. In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in land posting, largely in response to abuses by the public. Although a number of different kinds of institutions have arisen to allow continued public access to private land, Acheson suggests that more needs to be done if Maine’s “open land” tradition is to be maintained
A Tabu Search Algorithm To Minimize The Makespan For The Unrelated Parallel Machines Scheduling Problem With Setup Times, Magdy Helal, Ghaith Rabadi, Ameer Al-Salem
A Tabu Search Algorithm To Minimize The Makespan For The Unrelated Parallel Machines Scheduling Problem With Setup Times, Magdy Helal, Ghaith Rabadi, Ameer Al-Salem
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Faculty Publications
In this paper we propose a tabu search implementation to solve the unrelated parallel machines scheduling problem with sequence- and machine- dependent setup times to minimize the schedules makespan. The problem is NP-hard and finding an optimal solution efficiently is unlikely. Therefore, heuristic techniques are more appropriate to find near-optimal solutions. The proposed tabu search algorithm uses two phases of perturbation schemes: the intra-machine perturbation, which optimizes the sequence of jobs on the machines, and the inter-machine perturbation, which balances the assignment of the jobs to the machines. We compare the proposed algorithm to an existing one that addressed the …

Interface Design Requirements For Playing Pong With A Single Switch Device, Brian Mac Namee, John Gilligan
Conference papers
Motivated by a desire for increased accessibility in digital games, in this paper we consider the design requirements for an interface to a variation of the game Pong for single-switch users. We consider the issues in the design of accessible interfaces for games and propose a set of interface configurations for playing Pong, using this as a proof of concept for more elaborate games.

The Lazarus Project. Ii. Spacelike Extraction With The Quasi-Kinnersley Tetrad, Manuela Campanelli, Bernard Kelly, Carlos O. Lousto
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Lazarus project was designed to make the most of limited 3D binary black-hole simulations, through the identification of perturbations at late times, and subsequent evolution of the Weyl scalar Ψ4 via the Teukolsky formulation. Here we report on new developments, employing the concept of the “quasi-Kinnersley” (transverse) frame, valid in the full nonlinear regime, to analyze late-time numerical space-times that should differ only slightly from Kerr. This allows us to extract the essential information about the background Kerr solution, and through this, to identify the radiation present. We explicitly test this procedure with full-numerical evolutions of Bowen-York data for …

Shoreline Evolution Lancaster County, Virginia Chesapeake Bay And Rappahannock River Shorelines 2006, C. Scott Hardaway Jr., Donna A. Milligan, Lyle M. Varnell, Christine A. Wilcox, George R. Thomas, Kevin P. O'Brien
Reports
Shoreline evolution is the change in shore position through time. In fact, it is the material resistance of the coastal geologic underpinnings against the impinging hydrodynamic (and aerodynamic) forces. Along the shores of Chesapeake Bay and Rappahannock River, it is a process-response system. The processes at work include winds, waves, tides and currents, which shape and modify coastlines by eroding, transporting and depositing sediments. The shore line is commonly plotted and measured to provide a rate of change but it is as important to understand the geomorphic patterns of change. Shore analysis provides the basis to know how a particular …

Ernesto: Anatomy Of A Storm Tide, John D. Boon
Reports
Virginia residents were warned that tropical depression ERNESTO would bring a lot of rain and consequently some flooding from runoff. Although briefly a hurricane (sustained winds greater than 74 mph) near the island of Haiti, ERNESTO spent most of its life as a tropical storm (windsgreater than 58 mph) before crossing into Virginia on September 1, 2006, as a tropical depression(winds greater than 39 mph). Little did we know that a mere tropical depression would be packing high winds and a walloping storm tide along with the rain.

Multiagent Teamwork: Hybrid Approaches, Praveen Paruchuri, Emma Bowring, Ranjit Nair, Jonathan Pearce, Nathan Schurr, Milind Tambe, Pradeep Varakantham
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Today within the multiagent community, we see at least four competing methods to building multiagent systems: beliefdesireintention (BDI), distributed constraint optimization (DCOP), distributed POMDPs, and auctions or game-theoretic methods. While there is exciting progress within each approach, there is a lack of cross-cutting research. This article highlights the various hybrid techniques for multiagent teamwork developed by the teamcore group. In particular, for the past decade, the TEAMCORE research group has focused on building agent teams in complex, dynamic domains. While our early work was inspired by BDI, we will present an overview of recent research that uses DCOPs and distributed …

Although high school mathematics curriculum documents in Ontario, Canada have, for the past two decades, made calls for classroom practices involving both modeling and applications, students still experience difficulties in moving into a university engineering program. This paper discusses a new initiative in online learning and the teaching of mathematical modeling and applications in engineering education at the University of Ottawa, Canada. In particular, we explore how modeling and Internet technologies can enhance progress in engineering education.
