XP (eXtreme Programming) has become popular for IID (Iteration and Increment Development). It is suitable for small teams, lightweight projects and vague/volatile requirements. However, some challenges are left to developers when they desire to practise XP. A critical one of them is constructing the release plan and negotiating it with customers. In this paper, we propose a risk-driven method for XP release planning. It has been applied in a case study and the results show the method is feasible and effective. XP practicers can follow it to decide a suitable release plan and control the development process. Copyright 2006 ACM.

Commercial organizations increasingly need software processes sensitive to business value, quick to apply, and capable of early analysis for subprocess consistency and compatibility. This paper presents experience in applying a lightweight synthesis of a Value-Based software Quality Achievement (VBSQA) process and an Object-Petri-Net-based process model (called VBSQAOPN) to achieve a manager-satisfactory process for software quality achievement in an on-going ERP software project in China. The results confirmed that 1) the application of value-based approaches was inherently better than value-neutral approaches adopted by most ERP software projects;2) the VBSQA-OPN model provided project managers with a synchronization and stabilization framework for process activities, success-critical stakeholders and their value propositions;3) process visualization and simulation tools significantly increased management visibility and controllab.lity for the success of software project.

This paper presents a novel scheme for accelerating ray traversal computation in ray tracing. By the scheme, a pre-computed stage is applied to constructing what is called a traversal field for each rigid object that records the destinations for all possible incoming rays. The field data, which could be efficiently compressed offline, is stored in a small number of big rectangles called ray-relays that enclose each approximate convex segment of an object. In the ray-tracing stage, the records on relays are retrieved in a constant time, so that a ray traversal is implemented as a simple texture lookup on GPU. Thus, the performance of our approach is only related to the number of relays rather than scene size, while the number of relays is quite small. In addition, because the traversal fields only depend on the internal construction of each convex segment, they can be used to ray trace objects undergoing rigid motions at a negligible extra cost. Experimental results show that interactive rates could be achieved for dynamic scenes with the effects of specular reflections and refractions on an ordinary desk PC with GPU. Copyright 2006 ACM.

Owing to the fluent and lightweight nature, sketch-based user interface is becoming increasingly significant in graphical computing. This paper presents a strategy of sketch understanding for electric circuit diagramming in e-learning. It can be characterized in three aspects. Firstly, the LR grammar modeling technique is adopted to represent drawing contexts and shapes. So that stroke parsing and sketch recognition can be combined. Secondly, error correction based on fuzzy logic reasoning is introduced to deal with errors caused by the ambiguity of recognition. Further provided a guide for stroke parsing based on the context. Significantly, it recognizes drawings recursively without user's explicit mediations. Experiments proved the proposed method is both effective and efficient.

Active Queue Management (AQM) is an effective method used in Internet routers for congestion control, and to achieve a tradeoff between link utilization and delay. The de facto standard, the Random Early Detection (RED) AQM scheme, and most of its variants use average queue length as a congestion indicator to trigger packet dropping. This paper proposes a novel AQM algorithm, called Self-tuning Proportional and Integral RED (SPI-RED), as an extension of RED. SPI-RED is based on a Self-tuning Proportional and Integral controller, which not only considers the average queue length at the current time point, but also takes into consideration the past average queue lengths during a round-trip time. Furthermore, we give theoretical analysis of the system stability and give guidelines for the selection of feedback gains for the TCP/RED system to stabilize the average queue length at a desirable level. Extensive simulations have been conducted with ns2. The simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed SPI-RED algorithm outperforms the existing AQM schemes in terms of drop probability and stability.
