To support rule-writers, we are developing techniques to automatically analyze large number of public comments on proposed regulations. A document is analyzed in various ways including argument structure, topics, and opinions. the individual results are integrated into a unified output. the experiments reported here were performed on comments submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency in response to their proposed rule for mercury regulation.

A program was initiated to further improve the space durability of nonconductive polymer-based paints and of conductive thermal control paints presently tinder development. the results of surface modification of both types of paints, including the ground-based testing and performance evaluation, are presented. functional properties and performance characteristics, such as thermal optical properties and surface resistivity characteristics of pristine and treated materials, were verified. Tests results revealed that the successfully treated materials did not exhibit any mass loss or surface morphology change, thus, indicating good protection front the severe oxidative environment. It was demonstrated that the developed surface modification treatment can be applied successfully to charge dissipative paints.

Motivated by the increased bioinformatics service-based offering on the Grid, we envisage a new model for programmingthe Grid at a semantic, knowledge-based level of abstraction through the use of argumentative agent technology. In this setting, agents are associated with roles of service requestors, service providers and brokers. this new model provides an enhanced service composition model for grid applications, whereby service requestors, providers and brokers can profit from the dynamic composition of Grid resources and services into executable workflows. this model would thus have considerable impact on existing business practices, by enhancing the role of Grid in current business applications. Within this model, argumentative agents are equipped with methods for negotiation with other agents. Agents act on behalf of their owners, be it in the consumer, provider or broker roles, or a combination thereof. Withthe support of argumentation processes, they decide how to fulfill the demands of their owners by creating, managing and joining virtual organisations, understood as societies of agents, while pursuing their own goals.

this paper presents an advanced self-timed Java accelerator core which has extremely low power consumption while providing sufficient performance for even the most demanding real-time telecommunication and multimedia applications. the goal is that the accelerator can be directly attached to any general-purpose processor core running some Java-intensive application software. Asynchronous self-timed circuit technology, where timing is based on local handshakes between circuit blocks instead of a global clock signal, provides a promising platform for obtaining a highly modular low-power Java accelerator implementation.

Point clouds acquired using 3D scanners usually need to be converted into mesh models for gaming applications. this involves considerable manual effort. there is however increasing interest in using them directly without conversion. In this paper, we describe the results of our efforts in realistic rendering of point based. geometry with real time frame rates. We adapt advanced mesh rendering techniques that help create realistic visual effects. these include self shadowing effects using ambient occlusion, diffuse lighting effects using spherical harmonic representations of irradiance environment maps and specular effects by casting a reflected ray into a pre-blurred environment map. A number of efficiency improvements enable us to handle considerably larger number of sample points in point cloud models - we use an octree hierarchic structure based on feature analysis of the point cloud data to reduce ambient occlusion computations;we push all view independent computations in a preprocessing phase and finally, we perform most of the critical render-time lighting calculations directly on GPU using vertex and fragment shaders.

this paper suggests that if the commodity space and price on the market non-convexity factors are expanded, the uniform price auction and pay-as-bid auction would be equivalent. this paper also demonstrates that the 'uplift' payment is originated from the generalized 'startup' cost which is based on a special commodity (i.e. the unit commitment decision). Numerical examples are given to illustrate the above analysis.

A program to predict organic reactions, ROBIA, has been developed. It achieves reaction prediction on the basis of coded rules and molecular modeling calculations, generating possible transition states, intermediates, and products given the starting material and reaction conditions. the program generates all possible reaction pathways, on the basis of the selected transformations within its database, and evaluates them selecting the most feasible ones. the program has been successfully tested against several examples.

the introduction of Offshore Outsourcing Bridge (OOB), acting as a development model as well as a development concept, is based on the actual situation, combined with years of experience developing software offshore outsourcing by the software enterprises in China. this model, via applied management platform, establishes the management procedures and development framework using the CMM standards. Clients of this platform can be driven to proceed withthe standardized management of the offshore software development and to enhance service quality. this essay mainly describes the background of how the OOB development model was designed, including the design perception and the design system of the applied management platform.

We examined the genre and complexity of computer programs created by members of a community technology center. We collected 240 projects during a six-month period. the program genres reflected animations, games, and graphics in about equal numbers. While the number of computer programs decreased over time, the number of advanced programs remained constant suggesting that members either abandoned programs or paired up with more experienced programmers and continued to develop more complex programs.
