A problem to make a graph strongly connected is one of the most fundamental problems in graph theory. The known parallel algorithm[1] solves this problem in O(log n) time using O(n3) processors on a CRCW PRAM model. I...

Virtual reality technologies become very popular for many users. Advanced force feedback devices can realize tactile sensation in the virtual space. These devices are expected to bring advanced interactions between human and computer. On the other hand, photo retouch or painting softwares are also very popular. However, they can not always use these tools easily because operation are very complicated. In this paper, we discuss about a new advanced retouch tool with haptic (force feedback) interfaces. Users can utilise additional haptic information for image processing. By using a prototype of this tool, we discuss about a method of haptic rendering and display for image features.

Handshake refers to embodied interaction using physical contact for closeness. In this paper, we analyze the handshake approaching motion between humans in cases with and without voice greeting and propose a handshake approaching motion model based on the analysis. In this model, a robot can generate handshake approaching motion that is emotionally acceptable to humans by using the second-order lag element and the dead time element from trajectory of human hand. Furthermore, a handshake robot system that adopts this proposed model is developed and motion characteristics of handshake approaching motions with and without voice greeting are analyzed using analysis-by-synthesis technique. The effectiveness of this model and the handshake robot system are demonstrated by sensory evaluation.

Requirements traceability is becoming increasingly significant element in software engineering. It provides critical function in the development and maintenance of a software system. From the software evolution point of view, requirements traceability plays an important role in facilitating software evolution. Since the evolution is inevitable, a traceability approach must take as much as possible the important influencing aspects into account to the evolution processes in order to minimize the evolution efforts. This paper evaluates several recent traceability approaches published in literature with the focus on their contributions to software evolution. The evaluation results may be used as a basis for improving requirements traceability approaches that may simplify the software evolution tasks.

This paper concerns a swing-up control problem for a 3-link gymnastic planar robot in a vertical plane, whose first joint is passive (unactuated) and the rest are active (actuated). The objectives of this paper are: 1) to design a controller under which the robot can be brought into any arbitrarily small neighborhood of the upright equilibrium point, where all three links of the robot remain in their upright positions;2) to attain a global analysis of the motion of the robot under the controller. To tailor the energy based control approach to achieve the above objectives, first, this paper considers the links 2 and 3 as a virtually composite link and proposes a coordinate transformation of the angles of active joints. Second, this paper constructs a novel Lyapunov function based on the transformation, and devises an energy based swing-up controller. This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for nonexistence of any singular points in the controller for the robot starting from any initial state. Third, this paper carries out a global analysis of the motion of the robot under the controller, and establishes some conditions on control parameters for achieving the swing-up control objective. To validate the theoretical results obtained, this paper provides simulation results for a 3-link robot whose mechanical parameters are obtained from a human gymnast.

The use of requirements traceability for information systems development (ISD) projects is not very common in practice despite its often mentioned advantages in the literature. We conducted a case study in a large IT company to identify the factors that are relevant for the decision whether or not to adopt traceability in an ISD project. Five dominant factors emerged: development organization awareness, customer awareness, return on investment, stakeholder preferences, and process flow. It turned out that the majority of the software development project leaders we interviewed were not aware of the concept of traceability - with the obvious result that using traceability in software project is not even considered. This fact has possibly been underestimated in the present literature of requirements engineering.

Translocation of amphiphilic polymers (random and block copolymers), consisting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers, threading a pore is studied by using a three-dimensional dynamic Monte Carlo simulation. We find that there is a “translocation-insertion” threshold in the fraction of hydrophobic monomers on an amphiphilic polymer. The translocation time is given by simple scaling laws and increases with increasing the fraction of hydrophobic monomers.
