Subject: Detecting Cheating on Exams

Hi,

Recently, I was asked to consider :

A problem in analyzing students' optical mark recognition (multiple choice)
exam responses is to detect excessive similarity in wrong answers.
This could indicate the possibility of students cheating
on the exam. Excessive similarity of right answers should be ignored
as students may just have got the right answers.

Does anyone have any ideas or software for this problem ?

Thanks very much.

Fred

Subject: C++ Matrix Template Library

The Lab for Scientific Computing (LSC) at the University of Notre Dame
announces the initial public release of the Matrix Template
Library (MTL), a library of generic components for high performance
numerical linear algebra.

The Matrix Template Library is:

Generic:
MTL uses the generic programming paradigm to allow algorithms to be
expressed in a data-format-independent manner. Generic programming
techniques are also used to characterize and express MTL's
performance optimizations.

Orthogonal and Comprehensive:
MTL includes a large number of data formats and algorithms,
including most popular sparse and dense matrix formats and
functionality equivalent to BLAS level 3.

Flexible and Extensible:
The MTL generic programming interface is designed to allow new
functionality to be easily incorporated.

High Performance:
MTL provides performance equal to (and in many cases better than)
vendor-tuned math libraries.

Portable:
MTL is written entirely in ANSI C++ and can be compiled and used on
any target platform with an ANSI C++ compiler. No external
libraries are required.

Reliable:
MTL is extensively tested on a nightly basis. Over 350,000
separate tests are conducted for each supported configuration.
A scoreboard of test results is mainrained on the MTL web site.

MTL source code and documentation is available from

http://www.lsc.nd.edu/research/mtl/

Subject: Research Positions at Swiss Center for Scientific Computing

The Swiss Center for Scientific Computing (CSCS), located near Lugano in
southern Switzerland, has an immediate opening for an experienced

RESEARCH SCIENTIST

With background in computational mechanics and experience in
object-oriented software design.

The Applied Mechanical Engineering (AME) group at CSCS is currently
involved in a European Esprit project. Within this framework, AME will
develop tools for interfacing geometries, given by standard commercial
CAD formats (IGES, STEP), with grid generators and interdisciplinary
applications such as aero-elasticity. Advanced computational geometry
and computer science technologies are applied to derive highly
sophisticated techniques for CAD repair and new methodologies for mesh
generation.

Essential technical skills of successful applicants will comprise a
sound background in engineering science related mathematics and physics,
experience in object-oriented design, FORTRAN, C, C++ programming, the
use of graphical libraries such as OpenGL and/or OpenInventor, and
eventually GUI development.

Important for the present position is also the experience with
commercial CAD packages and mesh generation tools, e.g. CATIA, CADAM,
ICEM, etc. and experience in modeling of structural mechanics and fluid
dynamics problems. Basic background with respect to extension languages
would be an additional asset.

All applicants should have a degree in mechanical engineering,
mathematics or computer science and a breadth of experience in the
aforementioned scientific fields. The ability to conduct research and
development independently, excellent communication skills and a strong
sense of duty and responsibility is required. Teamwork experience as
well as good written and oral presentation skills will be important.

This appointment at CSCS, part of the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich), will initially be for one year with
annual extensions based on performance. The position does not involve
regular teaching duties. CSCS offers very competitive salaries and
excellent working conditions.

The canton of Ticino, located south of the alps, offers an Italian
life-style, mild winters, pleasant spring and a long, warm summer with
plenty of sunshine throughout the whole year.

Applicants should send a CV and covering letter including contact
information for two or three references by March 27th 1999 to:

PD Dr. Karsten M. Decker
Swiss Center for Scientific Computing (CSCS)
Via Cantonale
CH-6928 Manno
SWITZERLAND
Fax: +41 (91) 610 8383
Email: decker@cscs.ch

Application via e-mail (plain ASCII or Postscript) is possible.
Applications through recruitment agencies will not be considered.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at K. U. Leuven, Belgium

Postdoctoral Position available at K.U.Leuven, Dept. of Electrical Eng.
(ESAT), SISTA/COSIC

There is an opening for a post-doctoral researcher (duration approx. 1.5
years) in the European TMR project ALAPEDES (THE ALGEBRAIC APPROACH TO
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF DISCRETE EVENT SYSTEMS) in our research group
SISTA/COSIC.

See http://www.cs.rug.nl/~rein/alapedes/ for more information about the
project or http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/sista for more information about
the research group.

As an extension to the original proposal, the subject of research can be
'Traffic modelling'. SISTA/COSIC is also involved in another project on
traffic research: 'Traffic Congestion Problems in Belgium: Mathematical
Models, Analysis, Simulation and Control' (SSTC MD01/24).

SISTA/COSIC is currently doing research on identification of traffic flow
patterns and on control of traffic flows on highways.
A fundamental requirement for traffic research is knowledge of the
information on turning movements and total number of vehicles through an
intersection. The problem is then, based upon traffic flow measurements, to
identify the entries of the origin-destination (O-D) matrix, i.e., the
probabilities of vehicles entering one leg of an intersection and exiting
another in an intersection. This O-D matrix is time dependent and so we are
working on fast estimation algorithms to make on line estimation feasible.
A second important research topic in the traffic field is the model based
development of control schemes for Advanced Traffic Management Systems on
highways, such as: ramp metering, variable message signs, dynamic route
information panels ...

Please note that in order to apply, you need to come from an EEC (or
associated) country (excluding Belgium) and younger than 35 years.
