We present the case for using adaptable protocols geared towards human requirements in the delivery of distributed multimedia. We have implemented a proof-of-concept application-a distributed MPEG player-through which multimedia clips can be transmitted over computer networks using a protocol expressly configured for improved user perceptual delivery. We have thus a user-oriented communication protocol, radically different in concept to legacy protocols which do not take user perceptual considerations into account.

This paper presents a BSP performance prediction model to support a programming environment for parallel multigrid algorithms. The model assists the user in the selection of the optimal problem parameters and directs the code generation scheme. Simulation experiments confirm that the model can be used as a full design tool to predict the optimal values of some numerical as well as implementation parameters for a given BSP architecture.

Approximate reasoning is a key motivation in fuzzy sets and possibility theory. This volume provides a coherent view of this field, and its impact on database research and information retrieval. First, the semantic foundations of approximate reasoning are presented. Special emphasis is given to the representation of fuzzy rules and specialized types of approximate reasoning. Then syntactic aspects of approximate reasoning are surveyed and the algebraic underpinnings of fuzzy consequence relations are presented and explained. The second part of the book is devoted to inductive and neuro-fuzzy methods for learning fuzzy rules. It also contains new material on the application of possibility theory to data fusion. The last part of the book surveys the growing literature on fuzzy informationsystems. Each chapter contains extensive bibliographical material. Fuzzy Sets in Approximate Reasoning and informationsystems is a major source of information for research scholars and graduate students in computerscience and artificial intelligence, interested in human information processing.

The Linear Array with a Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System (LARPBS) is a newly introduced parallel computational model based on current optical bus technology. We show that the selection problem can be solved on the LARPBS model in O((log log N)/sup 2//log log log N) bus cycles deterministically. To our best knowledge, this is the best deterministic selection algorithm on the LARPBS model.

Many important characteristics of simulation models, including queuing models, can be investigated by the use of metamodels. Problems in qualitative analysis such as analyzing model dynamics and coming to a careful understanding of model behavior can be dealt with this way. Metamodels can provide precise results even for quantitative analysis tasks, such as those involving the movement of dynamic model elements. This paper describes the use of a type of metamodeling to support the assessment of simulation models based on the analysis of trace files produced at the time of model execution. Because of the simple structure of these trace files, a simulation model can create them easily. The analysis and interpretation of trace files that is described here is independent of the simulation language used to create the original model. The tools presented in this article can be used for these purposes: to construct generic model structures at the metamodel level and then animate aspects of model behavior in terms of these structures; to build a graphic display indicating which dynamic model elements moved at which times between which points in the model, and in which real-time order in cases of time ties; to determine when (and if) user-specified model conditions come about; and to develop statistical information that might not have been planned for in the design of the original model. Future plans call for making these tools available in a World Wide Web environment to support assessment of simulation models.
