The Internet Challenge to Television
Authors: Bruce M. Owen
Venue:  (1999)

:After a half-century of glacial creep, television technology has begun to change at the same dizzying pace as computer software. What this will mean - for television, for computers, and for the popular culture where these video media reign supreme - is the subject of this timely book. Noted communications economist Bruce M. Owen supplies the essential background: a grasp of the economic history of the television industry and of the effects of technology and government regulation on its organization. He also explores recent developments associated with the growth of the Internet. With this history as a basis, his book allows readers to peer into the future - at the likely effects of television and the Internet on each other, for instance, and at the possibility of a convergence of the TV set, computer, and telephone.

Detecting Faces in Images: A Survey
Authors: Ming-Hsuan Yang, David J. Kriegman, Narendra Ahuja
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

Images containing faces are essential to intelligent vision-based human computer interaction, and research efforts in face processing include face recognition, face tracking, pose estimation, and expression recognition. However, many reported methods assume that the faces in an image or an image sequence have been identified and localized. To build fully automated systems that analyze the information contained in face images, robust and efficient face detection algorithms are required. Given a single image, the goal of face detection is to identify all image regions which contain a face regardless of its three-dimensional position, orientation, and lighting conditions. Such a problem is challenging because faces are nonrigid and have a high degree of variability in size, shape, color, and texture. Numerous techniques have been developed to detect faces in a single image, and the purpose of this paper is to categorize and evaluate these algorithms. We also discuss relevant issues such as data collection, evaluation metrics, and benchmarking. After analyzing these algorithms and identifying their limitations, we conclude with several promising directions for future research.

A Three-Stage One-Sided Rearrangeable Polygonal Switching Network
Authors: Mao-Hsu Yen, Sao-Jie Chen, Sanko H. Lan
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

This paper proposes a three-stage rearrangeable polygonal switching network (PSN) for interconnecting one-sided input-output terminals. In comparing our PSN with a three-stage one-sided Clos switching network of the same size and with the same number of switches, we prove that rearrangeability of a PSN is better than that of a Clos switching network. Also, the switches efficiency of PSN is explored.

Computing Skills for Economists
Authors: Guy Judge
Venue:  (2000)

:Today's students are expected to use computers and familiarise themselves with word-processing and spreadsheet packages in their work. They are also expected to be able to use the Internet for e-mail and accessing information on the Web. In fact, some lecturers use the Web to provide course notes or even deliver parts of the course interactively. Most available computer books are too general and often miss out features that would be particularly helpful to economists. In fact, they don't show how such tools can be used in economics. This textbook fills a need for a computing and IT book aimed specifically at undergraduate economics students. It bridges the gap between IT literacy and the use of hardware, software and other resources in learning and doing economics. The main focus is on the tools and the resources that are particularly relevant to economists with examples of their use and suggestions of how to apply and exploit them in applications in economics.FEATURESAssumes no previous computing background - the book will adopt a practical and applied approach with emphasis on the software used by economists and how they use it.Use of examples and applications will allow readers to learn by doing and develop their computing skills.The book will be written in a concise and informal style with the use of screen grabs and text boxes.
Modal and temporal properties of processes
Authors: Colin Stirling
Venue:  (2001)

In a clear and well-organized presentation,Modal and Temporal Properties of Processes introduces concurrent processes as terms of an algebraic language comprising a few basic operators, whose behaviours are described using transitions. The book describes how families of such transitions can be arranged as labeled graphs---themselves concrete summaries of the behaviour are determined by transition rules. An extensive use of games for both equivalence and model checking provides an approach that is more conceptually clear than generally employed alternatives.

Efficient discovery of error-tolerant frequent itemsets in high dimensions
Authors: Cheng Yang, Usama Fayyad, Paul S. Bradley
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

We present a generalization of frequent itemsets allowing for the notion of errors in the itemset definition. We motivate the problem and present an efficient algorithm that identifies error-tolerant frequent clusters of items in transactional data (customer-purchase data, web browsing data, text, etc.). The algorithm exploits sparseness of the underlying data to find large groups of items that are correlated over database records (rows). The notion of transaction coverage allows us to extend the algorithm and view it as a fast clustering algorithm for discovering segments of similar transactions in binary sparse data. We evaluate the new algorithm on three real-world applications: clustering high-dimensional data, query selectivity estimation and collaborative filtering. Results show that the algorithm consistently uncovers structure in large sparse databases that other traditional clustering algorithms fail to find.
A peak into the past: 90 years of technical communication
Authors: Ron Blicq
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Take a look at your bookshelf: what is the copyright date of your earliest book on technical communication? I doubt whether you will find anything much earlier than 1965. Here, I will describe and comment briefly on several well-reputed technical writing books published between 1908 and 1965. Then I will lead into the changes that have been occurring in the technical writing scene, and the impact these changes have had on us as professional technical communicators.
