Transplanting Manufacturing Power: Observations From Five Years At Fujitsu, Steven M. Miller
Transplanting Manufacturing Power: Observations From Five Years At Fujitsu, Steven M. Miller
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Within a factory, what are the underpinnings of manufacturing power? During my thirty-month residency at Fujitsu's factory in Oyama, Japan, I constantly reflected on this question. The standard view of a factory structure provided by an organization chart was inadequate for summarizing my observations.
Multiple Query Optimization With Depth-First Branch-And-Bound And Dynamic Query Ordering, Ee Peng Lim, Ahmet Cosar, Jaideep Srivastava
Multiple Query Optimization With Depth-First Branch-And-Bound And Dynamic Query Ordering, Ee Peng Lim, Ahmet Cosar, Jaideep Srivastava
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In certain database applications such as deductive databases, batch query processing, and recursive query processing etc., usually a single query gets transformed into a set of closely related database queries. Also, great benefits can be obtained by executing a group of related queries all together in a single unified multi-plan instead of executing each query separately. In order to achieve this Multiple Query Optimization (MQO) identifies common task(s) (e.g. common subexpressions, joins, etc.) among a set of query plans and creates a single unified plan (multi-plan) which can be executed to obtain the required outputs for all queries at once. …

Rule Extraction: From Neural Architecture To Symbolic Representation, Gail A. Carpenter, Ah-Hwee Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper shows how knowledge, in the form of fuzzy rules, can be derived from a supervised learning neural network called fuzzy ARTMAP. Rule extraction proceeds in two stages: pruning, which simplifies the network structure by removing excessive recognition categories and weights; and quantization of continuous learned weights, which allows the final system state to be translated into a usable set of descriptive rules. Three benchmark studies illustrate the rule extraction methods: (1) Pima Indian diabetes diagnosis, (2) mushroom classification and (3) DNA promoter recognition. Fuzzy ARTMAP and ART-EMAP are compared with the ADAP algorithm, the k nearest neighbor system, …
First Measurement Of The Quark-To-Photon Fragmentation Function, D. Buskulic, Manoj Thulasidas
First Measurement Of The Quark-To-Photon Fragmentation Function, D. Buskulic, Manoj Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Earlier measurements at LEP of isolated hard photons in hadronic Z decays, attributed to radiation from primary quark pairs, have been extended in the ALEPH experiment to include hard photon production inside hadron jets. Events are selected where all particles combine democratically to form hadron jets, one of which contains a photon with a fractional energy z 0:7. After statistical subtraction of non-prompt photons, the quark-to-photon fragmentation function, D(z), is extracted directly from the measured 2-jet rate. By taking into account the perturbative contributions to D(z) obtained from an O(S ) QCD calculation, the unknown non-perturbative component of D(z) is …
Object Interactions As First Class Objects: From Design To Implementation, Mahesh Dodani, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan, Lizette Velazquez
Object Interactions As First Class Objects: From Design To Implementation, Mahesh Dodani, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan, Lizette Velazquez
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Collaborations between objects make up the dynamic behavior of OO software. These collaborations among objects require careful design and implementation. Treating the interactions as responsibilities that are integrated in the participating objects, results in tight coupling between objects. Tight coupling increases complexity and reduces reusability. Object interactions need to be first class objects from design to implementation. Our research provides a unified approach to model and implement these interactions as first class objects. During analysis and design, they are modeled using DynaSpecs. During implementation, they are coded with a new language construct called Compositions. DynaSpecs and Compositions provide a consistent …

Knowledge-Based Safety Training System (Kbsts): A Prototype Implementation, Venky Shankararaman, B. S. Lee
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A computer-based safety training system for process operators must be able to make effective presentation of textual material, test the trainee's understanding through quizzes and facilitate plant simulation. The general framework of such a system is presented in an earlier paper (Computers in Industry, Vol. 17, 1991, pp. 349–358). In this paper, we discuss the development and implementation of a prototype Knowledge-Based Safety Training System based on the framework. The design philosophy, system architecture and the plant modelling methodology are described.
A Load Distribution Through Competition For Workstation Clusters, Kam Hong Shum, Muslim Bozyigit
A Load Distribution Through Competition For Workstation Clusters, Kam Hong Shum, Muslim Bozyigit
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The aim of this work is to develop a competition driven solution approach for load distribution in distributed computing system (DCS) environments. The subject DCS is composed of a set of workstation clusters. The study deals with concurrent applications, but assumes the existence of the independent tasks executing on individual workstations as well. Akin to conventional load balancing algorithms, the approach considers two phases; the partitioning phase and the mapping phase. Each phase is based on the application and the DCS data which is translated into market data, mainly price. The price is governed by the demand and supply of …
An Empirical Study On End Users' Update Performance For Different Abstraction Levels, Hock Chuan Chan, Kwok Kee Wei, Keng Siau
An Empirical Study On End Users' Update Performance For Different Abstraction Levels, Hock Chuan Chan, Kwok Kee Wei, Keng Siau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent laboratory experiments have shown a strong tendency that database users can perform better at the conceptual level than at the logical level. The experiments measured users’ performance for the tasks of database design and database retrieval. Besides database design and retrieval, the third major database task is update. User performance for updates has not been measured. With the widespread availability of databases, updates will be done frequently by end-users. This task is gaining in importance as a measure of the usability of a database system. An experiment was conducted to measure the effect of different abstraction levels on user …
Performance Of Combined Diversity Reception And Convolutional Coding For Qdpsk Land Mobile Radio, Huafei Zhou, Robert H. Deng, T. T. Tjhung
Performance Of Combined Diversity Reception And Convolutional Coding For Qdpsk Land Mobile Radio, Huafei Zhou, Robert H. Deng, T. T. Tjhung
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Diversity reception and error correction coding are powerful techniques to combat multipath fading encountered in mobile radio communications. In order to improve the transmission performance of the ?/4-shift QDPSK signal in mobile radio channels, the authors propose a new scheme of combined coding and diversity reception, i.e., combination of diversity reception employing code combining (CC) and convolutional coding employing error-and erasure correction Viterbi decoding. They also consider another combination scheme, i.e., combination of diversity reception employing postdetection maximal ratio combining (MRC) and convolutional coding employing hard decision Viterbi decoding. They theoretically analyze the performance of the schemes taking into account …
Optimum Symbol-By-Symbol Detection Of Uncoded Digital Data Over The Gaussian Channel With Unknown Carrier Phase, Pooi Yuen Kam, Seng Siew Ng, Tock Soon Ng
Optimum Symbol-By-Symbol Detection Of Uncoded Digital Data Over The Gaussian Channel With Unknown Carrier Phase, Pooi Yuen Kam, Seng Siew Ng, Tock Soon Ng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A theory of optimum receiver design for symbol-by-symbol detection of an uncoded digital data sequence received over the Gaussian channel with unknown carrier phase is presented. Linear suppressed-carrier modulation is assumed. The work here aims at laying a conceptual foundation for optimum symbol-by-symbol detection, and rectifies existing approaches to the problem. The optimum receiver structure is obtained explicitly for an arbitrary carrier phase model, but its computational requirements are too heavy in general for any practical implementation. In one important special case, namely, the case in which the carrier phase can be treated as a constant over some K+1 symbol …

Myriad is a federated database system (FDBS) prototype being developed at the University of Minnesota. The main objective behind this prototyping effort is to provide "enterprise-wide" information by integrating independently developed databases while preserving the local autonomy of the component DBMSs and applications. In Myriad, multiple federations can be formed. A federation consists of an integrated database whose schema is represented as a set of integrated relations derived from the export relations provided by the component DBMSS. SQL, mainly due to its simplicity and popularity among database users and vendors, has been adopted to express global queries as well as …
Managing Memory For Real-Time Queries, Hwee Hwa Pang, Michael J. Carey, Miron Livny
Managing Memory For Real-Time Queries, Hwee Hwa Pang, Michael J. Carey, Miron Livny
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The demanding performance objectives that real-time database systems (RTDBS) face necessitate the use of priority resource scheduling. This paper introduces a Priority Memory Management (PMM) algorithm that is designed to schedule queries in RTDBS. PMM attempts to minimize the number of missed deadlines by adapting both its multiprogramming level and its memory allocation strategy to the characteristics of the offered workload. A series of simulation experiments confirms that PMM's admission control and memory allocation mechanisms are very effective for real-time query scheduling.

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Measurement of software development productivity is needed in order to control software costs, but it is discouragingly labor-intensive and expensive. Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) technologies-especially repository-based, integrated CASE-have the potential to support the automation of this measurement. We discuss the conceptual basis for the development of automated analyzers for function point and software reuse measurement for object-based CASE. Both analyzers take advantage of the existence of a representation of the application system that is stored within an object repository, and that contains the necessary information about the application system. We also discuss metrics for software reuse measurement, including reuse leverage, …
Precision Measurement Of The Ds*+-Ds+ Mass Difference, Brown, D.; Et Al., M. Thulasidas
Precision Measurement Of The Ds*+-Ds+ Mass Difference, Brown, D.; Et Al., M. Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We have measured the vector-pseudoscalar mass splitting M(D*+s)-M(D+s)=144.22±0.47±0.37 MeV significantly more precisely than the previous world average. We minimize the systematic errors by also measuring the vector-pseudoscalar mass difference M(D*0)-M(D0) using the radiative decay D*0→D0γ, obtaining [M(D*+s)-M(D+s)]-[M(D*0)-M(D0)] =2.09±0.47±0.37 MeV. This is then combined with our previous high-precision measurement of M(D*0)-M(D0), which used the decay D*0→D0π0. We also measure the mass difference M(D+s)-M(D+)=99.5±0.6±0.3 MeV, using the φπ+ decay modes of the D+s and D+ mesons.

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The branching fractions for the five-charged-particle decays of the τ lepton have been measured in e+e− annihilations using the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. Assuming all charged particles to be pions, the results are B(3π−2π+≥0 neutrals ντ)=(0.097±0.005±0.011)%, B(3π−2π+ντ)=(0.077±0.005 ±0.009)%, B(3π−2π+π0ντ)=(0.019±0.004±0.004)%, and B(3π−2π+2π0ντ)B(3π−2π−π0ντ) is measured for the first time by exclusive π0 reconstruction. The results are compared with the predictions from the partially conserved-axial-current and conserved-vector-current hypotheses assuming isospin invariance.

Resolving Attribute Incompatibility In Database Integration: An Evidential Reasoning Approach, Ee-Peng Lim, Shashi Shekhar
Resolving Attribute Incompatibility In Database Integration: An Evidential Reasoning Approach, Ee-Peng Lim, Shashi Shekhar
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Resolving domain incompatibility among independently developed databases often involves uncertain information. DeMichiel (1989) showed that uncertain information can be generated by the mapping of conflicting attributes to a common domain, based on some domain knowledge. The authors show that uncertain information can also arise when the database integration process requires information not directly represented in the component databases, but can be obtained through some summary of data. They therefore propose an extended relational model based on Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence (1976) to incorporate such uncertain knowledge about the source databases. They also develop a full set of extended relational operations …
A Semantic Framework For Understanding The Behavior Of Modules And Classes In Programming Languages, Mahesh Dodani, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan
A Semantic Framework For Understanding The Behavior Of Modules And Classes In Programming Languages, Mahesh Dodani, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent trends in programming language design and implementation are aimed at integrating the two most important constructs to combat complexity: modules and classes. Both constructs provide encapsulation, a cornerstone of reliable programming. These constructs differ in their approach to building hierarchies: modules define visibility of components while classes define visibility of functionality. How can modules and classes be effectively integrated within a simple programming language? This question captures the essence of developing semantics of these constructs to ensure that they interact in a meaningful way. This paper develops a formal denotational semantic framework for understanding the interaction between classes and …

A Probabilistic Approach To Fault Diagnosis In Linear Lightwave Networks, Robert H. Deng, A. A. Lazar, W. Wang
A Probabilistic Approach To Fault Diagnosis In Linear Lightwave Networks, Robert H. Deng, A. A. Lazar, W. Wang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The application of probabilistic reasoning to fault diagnosis in linear lightwave networks (LLNs) is investigated. The LLN inference model is represented by a Bayesian network (or causal network). An inference algorithm is proposed that is capable of conducting fault diagnosis (inference) with incomplete evidence and on an interactive basis. Two belief updating algorithms are presented which are used by the inference algorithm for performing fault diagnosis. The first belief updating algorithm is a simplified version of the one proposed by Pearl (1988) for singly connected inference models. The second belief updating algorithm applies to multiply connected inference models and is …

User-Database Interface: The Effect Of Abstraction Levels On Query Performance, Hock Chuan Chan, Kwok Kee Wei, Keng Siau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A common classification of data models is based on their abstraction levels: physical, logical and conceptual. The user-database interaction can be similarly classified. For the conceptual-level interaction, the user and the database exchange information on the user's world, e.g., information of entities, relationships, and attributes. For the logical-level interaction, the user and the database communicate based on concepts in the database system, e.g., relations and join operations. We expect users to be familiar with concepts in their world but not the concepts in the database system. This is especially so for infrequent or naive database users. The conceptual level should …
