she designed and directed studies focused on the development implementation and evaluation of sentencing policy as well as juvenile and adult correctional programs. Her current work focuses on the implementation and impact of mandatory sentencing laws cross-jurisdictional variations in their application and the effects of prosecutorial discretion. Additional areas of interest include the development implementation and evaluation of juvenile justice programming.

Research Summary: Oregon's Measure 11, a mandatory minimum sentencing policy passed in 1994, had fewer negative system impacts than had been anticipated by many state and local criminal justice administrators, due largely to the fact that prosecutors exercised the discretion provided them under the law to selectively prosecute cases. Consequently, fewer Measure 11-eligible cases were sentenced under the relevant statues than before passage of the measure, and more were sentenced to lesser related offenses. At the same time, incarceration rates and sentence lengths increased for both Measure 11 and lesser related offenses. Trial rates increased for two years after Measure 11 took effect before reverting to previous levels. Policy Implications: The “unintended consequences” that Measure 11 produced should not have been unexpected. Our research indicates that the entire system will quickly adapt to mitigate the more draconian outcomes predicted by those who assume a simplistic implementation, which underscores the importance of understanding system dynamics and inter-relationships before implementing reform, as well as the pitfalls of designing legislation for either symbolic appeal or formal logic rather than for actual effect.

The paper presents a spatial logic, called PISL-2D, and an implementation of its inference engine, called SpInE. The approach can be used to represent spatial knowledge in a 2-dimensional space using a set of qualitative spatial relations. The formalism is based on a point-interval logic and a graphical representation, called Point Graphs. The graph representation is used by SpInE to verify and infer spatial knowledge.

This paper describes a new approach to visualization of scenarios within the use case-based engineering of functional requirements-the so-called video camera metaphor. The video camera metaphor facilitates involvement of business people, customers, problem domain experts and other non-technical stakeholders into capturing and validating formal requirements models. The key tool, supporting the video camera metaphor is the so-called interface editor which allows to draft the prototype user interface and automatically generates a user-friendly front-end to the set of formal modelling tools. The essence of the video camera interface is to associate sequences of events on a UML sequence diagram or an ITU-T message sequence chart with sequences of activations of the elements of the generated user interface. The video camera interface allows capturing scenarios through direct activation of both the input and the output elements of the generated user interface. The generated user interface is also used to replay scenarios for validation purposes.

In this paper, the performance of turbo coded signals are investigated over a new channel model, denoted as 1/spl plusmn/D/sup n//Partial Response Fading Channels (PRFC) with imperfect phase reference. The combined effects of the 1/spl plusmn/D/sup n//PRFC and nonideal coherent receiver on the phase of the received amplitude and of a noisy carrier reference are considered. The numerical results demonstrate the error performance degradation due to both amplitude fading and phase noise process.
