  Computing and Informatics - Volume 21
The reconstruction of discrete two-dimensional pictures from their projections is one of the central problems in the areas of medical diagnostics, computer-aided tomography, pattern recognition, image processing, and data compression.
In this paper, we determine the computational complexity of the problem of reconstruction of polyominoes from their approximately orthogonal projections.
To compute this set of prototypes, most of the algorithms in the literature require some crucial parameters as the number of prototypes to use, and a smoothing parameter.

 Classroom 2000: An experiment with the instrumentation of a living educational environment
Automated support can help computers do what they do best--record an event--in order to free humans to do what they do best: attend to, synthesize, and understand what is happening around them, with full confidence that specific details will be available for later perusal.
Although a computer science community has a strong desire to build "from scratch," a robust system as complicated as Classroom 2000 cannot be built with the typical resources of a university research group.
This is a large-scale effort in ubiquitous computing that affords us a unique opportunity to investigate a number of research problems within human-computer interaction, software engineering, educational technology, distributed systems, networking, information retrieval, computational perception, and machine learning.

 Bill Gates' Web Site - Speech Transcript, Supercomputing 05 Conference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Part of the reason this is so fantastic is that computation has become a tool for all the sciences, and so by solving these problems we help advance so many critical issues, whether it's product design or biology, inventing new medicines, understanding the environment, things that are very important to all of us.
I would say that technical computing is almost the third type of computing with a lot shared and a lot of special problems that need to be focused on.
As we're applying computation to the sciences, one of the most interesting things is coming up with new algorithms, not just more performance, to kind of brute force these things, but actually new approaches that wouldn't have been possible without advances in computer science being brought together with understanding in the specific sciences.

 Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One
This is the 15 December 2004 Recommendation of “Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One.” This document has been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other W3C groups and interested parties, and is endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation.
Dereferencing a URI has a (potentially significant) cost in computing and bandwidth resources, may have security implications, and may impose significant latency on the dereferencing application.
Binary data formats are those in which portions of the data are encoded for direct use by computer processors, for example 32 bit little-endian two's-complement and 64 bit IEEE double-precision floating-point.

 Computing and Informatics - Volume 21
With this Grid based infrastructure that provides for using and managing widely distributed computing and data resources in the science environment, there is now an opportunity to provide a standard, large-scale, computing, data, instrument, and collaboration environment for science that spans many different projects, institutions, and countries.
These services will integrate transient-use resources like computing systems, scientific instruments, and data caches (e.g., as they are needed to perform a simulation or analyze data from a~single experiment); persistent-use resources, such as databases, data catalogues, and archives; and collaborators, whose involvement will continue for the lifetime of a~project or longer.
It is natural to consider grids as tools for distributed data-intensive applications such as data mining, but the underlying patterns of computation and data movement in such applications are different from those of more conventional high-performance computation.

The high speed and low cost of the ACE family is ideal for high-volume, price-sensitive communications applications such as cable modems, xDSL modems, and low-cost switches, as well as computing applications like laser printers and PC peripherals.
The technology is production released and exhibits better than expected defect densities, which should allow volume yields at product introduction.
Volume pricing is expected to begin below $10.00.

 Computing Bounding Volume Hierarchies Using Model Simplification - Tan, Chong, Low (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Abstract: This paper presents a framework that uses the outputs of model simplification to guide the construction of bounding volume hierarchies for use in, for example, collision detection.
Simplified models, besides their application to multiresolution rendering, can provide clues to the object's shape.
These clues help in the partitioning of the object's model into components that may be more tightly bounded by simple bounding volumes.

 SYMERA
The NCSA Symera Distributed System, being developed by a team led by Briand Sanderson and Rick Vestal aims to not only soak up idle computing cycles but also, because it is geared toward parallel programs, to pack the processing punch of multiple-processor supercomputers.
Symera will soon have programs for tracking jobs so that researchers can stop or change them as they would if the jobs were running on their desktop machines.
Says Sanderson: "If you see something in your simulation you think is interesting, you stop and examine it, or you change one of the parameters to see what affect it has.

 Oracle turns up grid computing volume | InfoWorld | News | 2003-09-08 | By Ed Scannell,Paul Krill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Oracle aims to pick up the tempo on its grid computing beat this week by unveiling the latest version of its flagship database, an iteration the company believes is primed to enable grids for thousands of low-cost nodes.
But Oracle coming in and getting the support of major partners is a big step,” said Nick van der Zweep, director of utility computing for the enterprise systems group at Hewlett-Packard.
HP will do its part at the conference in moving grid computing forward by announcing plans to integrate the Globus Toolkit and Open Grid Services Architecture across the breadth of the company’s consumer and commercial product lines.

 Board-foot and Cubic-foot Volume Computing Equations for Southeastern Tree Species
The efficiency of these sampling methods, accompanied by the timely availability of electronic computing machines, has made it feasible to collect and retain large amounts of forest inventory information.
Each tree on the sample plot now can be treated individually, recording such descriptive data as species, tree quality, and crown class, along with stem dimensions, amount of cull, and rate of growth.
Still lacking, however, are volume equations that can provide precise volume estimates for individual trees to match this fund of detailed tree and area data.
