A generalized access path model and its application to a relational data base system
Authors: C. Robert Carlson, Robert S. Kaplan
Venue: Proceedings of the 1976 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1976)

An Access Path Producing LanguagE (APPLE) has been developed which permits users to formulate completely non-procedural queries expressed solely in terms of attribute names. The responsibility for programming or specifying the access path by which a query is resolved has thus been shifted from the user to the system. Examples are presented which illustrate the procedures by which the system determines an access path. The problems to be found in this approach are also described, and techniques required to solve these problems are presented.

Improved decision processes through simultaneous simulation and time dilation
Authors: Paul Hyden, Lee Schruben
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Simulation models are often not used to their full potential in the decision-making process. The default simulation strategy of simple serial replication of fixed length runs means that we often waste time generating information about uninteresting models and we only provide a decision at the very end of our study. New simulation techniques such as simultaneous simulation and time dilation have been developed to produce improved decisions at any time with limited or even reduced demands on analysts. Furthermore, we have the tools to determine whether a study should be terminated early or extended based on the demands of the decision-responsible managers and the time-crunched analysts. By collecting information from multiple models at the same time and using this information to continuously update the allocation of finite computational resources, we are able to more effectively leverage every minute of calendar time toward making the best choice. Strategies and tactics are discussed and highlighted through the implementation and analysis of a job shop model. Target success probabilities are achieved faster while achieving goals in study length flexibility at low cost to analyst time.
Delphi COM Programming
Authors: Eric Harmon
Venue:  (2000)

:Microsoft COM is prevalent throughout Windows operating systems-95, 98, NT. To build applications which interface with Windows systems, therefore, programmers must understand and learn to use COM. This book will lay the groundwork for understanding COM, and focus on how to develop applications in Delphi which interact efficiently with Windows systems. The book will include coverage of DCOM, Microsoft's distributed architecture which is based on COM. It will also cover the latest developments in Delphi 5, currently due out in September 1999.This book will teach COM programming to Delphi 4 and 5 programmers. After providing an understanding of the COM framework, it offers a practical exploration of COM to enable Delphi developers to program component-based applications. Typical real-world scenarios, such as Windows Shell programming, automating Microsoft Agent, and creating and using ActiveX controls, will be explored. Discussion of each topic will be illustrated with detailed examples.

Sentence lipreading using hidden Markov model with integrated grammar
Authors: Keren Yu, Xiaoyi Jiang, Horst Bunke
Venue: Hidden Markov models: applications in computer vision (2001)

In this paper, we describe a systematic approach to the lipreading of whole sentences. A vocabulary of elementary words is considered. Based on the vocabulary, we define a grammar that generates a set of legal sentences. Our lipreading approach is based on a combination of the grammar with hidden Markov models (HMMs). Two different experiments were conducted. In the first experiment a set of e-mail commands is considered, while the set of sentences in the second experiment is given by all English integer numbers up to one million. Both experiments showed promising results, regarding the difficulty of the considered task.

Dynamic versioning concurrency control for index-based data access in main memory database systems
Authors: Ying Xia, Sung-Hee Kim, Sook-Kyoung Cho, Kee-Wook Rim, Hae-Young Bae
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

We present a concurrency control scheme using dynamic versioning for index-based data access in main memory database systems. This scheme enables read-only transactions read correct version without holding any locks or latches, while update transactions only obtain a few locks or latches without deadlocks. Efficient version management is designed to support high concurrency level and low space overhead. The interaction between dynamic versioning and indexing is considered so that all available versions can be accessed through indexing. Experiment results show that dynamic versioning can improve the performance in concurrent environment significantly.

Windows NT/2000: ADSI Scripting for System Administration
Authors: Thomas Eck
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:Who Should Read This Book? Unlike other titles, this book does not attempt to present many theories behind the technologies you are working with, but rather delves directly into working code segments that can save you countless hours through automation of redundant tasks. The practical nature of this book targets an advanced- to expert-level audience comprised of system administrators, application developers, and, to a lesser extent, IT management. If you are new to administration, you may want to use this book in conjunction with the more conventional texts described in Appendix C, "Further Reading." For the system administrator, this book provides the code that is required to automate the most common administrative tasks in Windows NT, Internet Information Server, LDAP directory implementations, Microsoft Exchange Server, and Windows 2000 Active Directory namespace infrastructures. If you are new to using Visual Basic, be sure to work through the exercises found in Chapter 2, "Making the Transition: MultiTier Development for System Administrators," to bring you up to speed. For the application developer, this book provides the Visual Basic code that is required to perform system-level administrative functions using a relatively simple API. It is also well suited for Web developers; the author's COM-based approach allows code to be reused in VBScript, JavaScript, or any other language that supports automation. For the IT manager, this book helps put into perspective what can and cannot be done programmatically when you are trying to formulate a strategy or solution for your customer's problem. No matter which category you fall into, you will find a plethora ofadministrative examples that are ready to implement in your environment.
