Approximate Max-Min Resource Sharing for Structured Concave Optimization
Authors: M. D. Grigoriadis, L. G. Khachiyan, L. Porkolab, J. Villavicencio
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

We present a Lagrangian decomposition algorithm which uses logarithmic potential reduction to compute an $\varepsilon$-approximate solution of the general max-min resource sharing problem with M nonnegative concave constraints on a convex set B. We show that this algorithm runs in $O(M(\varepsilon^{-2}+{\rm ln} M))$ iterations, a data independent bound which is optimal up to polylogarithmic factors for any fixed relative accuracy $\varepsilon\in(0,1)$. In the block-angular case, B is the product of K convex sets (blocks) and each constraint function is block separable. For such models, an iteration of our method requires a $\Theta(\varepsilon)$-approximate solution of K independent block maximization problems which can be computed in parallel.

WIN32 API Programming with Visual Basic with CD-ROM, 1st edition
Authors: Steven Roman
Venue:  (1999)

:The Win32 API, or Application Programming Interface, is of immense use in extending the power of Visual Basic. The Win32 API is the collection of functions and subroutines that provides programmatic access to the features of the operating system. It allows Visual Basic programmers far greater access to the inner workings of the Windows operating system without having to suffer through the steep learning curve associated with Visual C++ style Windows programming. The book is designed for users with an intermediate-level (or higher) knowledge of Visual Basic version 4 or later and a desire to stretch VB into the realm of Windows system programming. Users do not need any background in Visual C++, nor do they need any previous experience programming the Win32 API. This book teaches users how to do relatively simple tasks, such as adding tab stops to a list box and gathering system information (i.e., which version of Windows is running on a system and the number of buttons on the user's mouse). It also teaches users about several advanced programming techniques such as synchronizing two VB applications so they can work in cooperation with each other and how to extract data from controls that belong to another application. Win32 API Programming with Visual Basic also spends a good deal of time describing the basic operations of the Windows NT and Windows 95/98 operating systems. Microsoft's documentation seldom takes into account what the reader knows or does not know. Hence, a solid grounding in the basics of the Windows operating systems will help VB programmers to better understand Microsoft's documentation. This book helps VB programmers eliminate the trial and error process that is usually associated with calling the Win32 API from Visual Basic and does so in a practical, straightforward fashion that is the hallmark of author Steve Roman's style.

Metapattern: Context and Time in Information Models, 1st edition
Authors: Peter Wisse, Pieter Wisse
Venue:  (2000)

:Metapattern is a powerful cutting-edge approach to large-scale information analysis and modeling. This highly focused analysis tool emphasizes reusability andunlike other modeling approachesstructurally incorporates the elements of both time and multiple contexts. As a result, systems developed using the metapattern approach exhibit the adaptability and extended life cycle critical to the survival of systems in the upcoming information age. The metapattern is also valuable for aligning complex and variable requirements, even across a multitude of organizations with different processes. Written by its originator, Metapattern: Context and Time in Information Models introduces the technology and eases the learning curve with clear explanations, practical examples, and numerous illustrations. This book explains the fundamental metapattern concepts of context and intext, along with type, time, and compositions. In particular, it discusses how the recognition of multiple contexts results in a powerful approach to conceptual information modeling. A large-scale case study also demonstrates how the metapattern approach can be applied to a financial accounting system and other real-world applications. To help readers build on familiar territory, Metapattern compares the metapattern approach with object-oriented analysis and modeling, offering metapattern alternatives that demonstrate its richness in providing context-oriented solutions. In addition, the author reviews major established design patterns in data modeling, analysis, and business process engineering, and shows how the metapattern provides a frame of reference forunderstanding, accommodating, and transcending these patterns. He also provides powerful modeling heuristics that take into account plurality through the definition of context, and by doing so, bring consistency and uniformity to information systems.
Domain analysis of object-oriented frameworks in FrameDoc
Authors: Carlos J. Fernández-Conde, Pedro A. González-Calero
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Frameworks are complex, and one of the biggest problems with most frameworks is just learning how to use them. In order to achieve the highest degree of reusability and extensibility, frameworks are built as sophisticated object-oriented artifacts and, therefore, it is not easy to understand the design concepts, commitments and decisions involved in the solutions.Within the overall goal of FrameDoc to alleviate the aforementioned learning effort by means of explicit knowledge representation and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), this paper concentrates on the domain analysis process and the acquisition of knowledge about the framework.The proposed model consists of: a domain model, a model of the framework design, and connections between them. Supporting tools for building the model are also described in the paper.
Existence and Limiting Behavior of a Non--Interior-Point Trajectory for Nonlinear Complementarity Problems Without Strict Feasibility Condition
Authors: Yun-Bin Zhao, Duan Li
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

For P0-complementarity problems, most existing non--interior-point path-following methods require the existence of a strictly feasible point. (For a P*-complementarity problem, the existence of a strictly feasible point is equivalent to the nonemptyness and the boundedness of the solution set.) In this paper, we propose a new homotopy formulation for complementarity problems by which a new non--interior-point continuation trajectory is generated. The existence and the boundedness of this non--interior-point trajectory for P0-complementarity problems are proved under a very mild condition that is weaker than most conditions used in the literature. One prominent feature of this condition is that it may hold even when the often-assumed strict feasibility condition fails to hold. In particular, for a P*-problem it turns out that the new non--interior-point trajectory exists and is bounded if and only if the problem has a solution. We also study the convergence of this trajectory and characterize its limiting point as the parameter approaches zero.

A Framework for Cache Management for Mobile Databases: Design and Evaluation
Authors: Boris Y. Chan, Antonio Si, Hong V. Leong
Venue: Distributed and Parallel Databases (2001)

In a mobile computing environment, database servers disseminate information to multiple mobile clients via wireless channels. Due to the low bandwidth and low reliability of wireless channels, it is important for a mobile client to cache its frequently accessed database items into its local storage. This improves performance of database queries and improves availability of database items for query processing during disconnection. In this paper, we investigate issues on caching granularity, coherence strategy, and replacement policy of caching mechanisms for a mobile environment utilizing point-to-point communication paradigm.We first illustrate that page-based caching is not suitable in the mobile context due to the lack of locality among database items. We propose three different levels of caching granularity: attribute caching, object caching, and hybrid caching, a hybrid approach of attribute and object caching. Next, we show that existing coherence strategies are inappropriate due to frequent disconnection in a mobile environment, and propose a cache coherence strategy, based on the update patterns of database items. Via a detail simulation model, we examine the performance of various levels of caching granularity with our cache coherence strategy. We observe, in general, that hybrid caching could achieve a better performance. Finally, we propose several cache replacement policies that can adapt to the access patterns of database items. For each given caching granularity, we discover that our replacement policies outperform conventional ones in most situations.
Maximal concurrency by locking
Authors: Georg Lausen, Eljas Soisalon-Soininen, Peter Widmayer
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1984)

The purpose of a database concurrency control mechanism is to control a transaction system in such a way that only serializable executions of transactions are possible; that is, safety is enforced. Locking is an appropriate means to achieve safety. In this paper the following problem is considered:Can the set of all serializable schedules (in the sense of conflict-preserving serializability) of a transaction system be defined by locking, i.e., can maximal concurrency be achieved by locking?An efficient algorithm exists for the problem in the case of two-transaction systems, but in general the problem is NP-complete. In the case in which maximal concurrency indeed is achievable by locking a locking policy realizing maximal concurrency can be constructed efficiently. Finally, an easy-to-test sufficient condition under which maximal concurrency is achieved by locking is discussed.
