Ppp Design and DeBugging
Authors: James Carlson
Venue:  (1997)

:PPP Design and Debugging offers network administrators, technicians, and programmers the perfect introduction and detailed guide to working with PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), now the most widely used Internet connection technology. An excellent companion to the official standards documents, this comprehensive book covers PPP in depth, from the bits and bytes transmitted up through its connections to other networking software. It shows how to keep PPP running smoothly and efficiently, and offers the most detailed information available on debugging PPP and maintaining uninterrupted network connections. This convenient volume follows PPP through its three main functions: connecting, authenticating, and sending data to the network. It provides an overview of PPP design and operation-including link-level transmission and reception of data-as well as a look at how PPP works with other networking protocols. Each PPP protocol is described in depth, including: LCP (Link Control Protocol); the network layer protocols that communicate with IP, AppleTalk, SNA, OSI, and others; CCP (Compression Control Protocol) and ECP (Encryption Control Protocol). In addition, the increasingly important topic of bandwidth management is discussed. You will find thorough coverage of PPP debugging techniques that show you how to isolate and solve connection problems. In particular, the book examines a topic of critical concern: how to get packet traces out of common PPP implementations.Plenty of code, implementation strategies, and expert advice throughout make this book an invaluable resource for anyone who works with PPP.

Look-ahead strategies for controlling batch operations in industry: overview, comparison and exploration
Authors: Durk-Jouke van der Zee
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Batching jobs in a manufacturing system is a very common policy in most industries. The main reasons for batching are avoidance of set ups and/or facilitation of material handling. Good examples of batch-wise production systems are ovens found in aircraft industry and in semiconductor manufacturing. Starting from the early nineties much research efforts have been put in constructing strategies for the dynamic control of these systems in order to reduce cycle times. Typically, these so-called "look-ahead strategies" base their scheduling decision on the information on a few near future product arrivals. In this paper we give a literature overview of the developed strategies, evaluate their performance and explore their relevance for practical situations by means of a simulation study.

Matrix Multiplication on Heterogeneous Platforms
Authors: Olivier Beaumont, Vincent Boudet, Fabrice Rastello, Yves Robert
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2001)

In this paper, we address the issue of implementing matrix multiplication on heterogeneous platforms. We target two different classes of heterogeneous computing resources: heterogeneous networks of workstations and collections of heterogeneous clusters. Intuitively, the problem is to load balance the work with different speed resources while minimizing the communication volume. We formally state this problem in a geometric framework and prove its NP-completeness. Next, we introduce a (polynomial) column-based heuristic, which turns out to be very satisfactory: We derive a theoretical performance guarantee for the heuristic and we assess its practical usefulness through MPI experiments.
Self-organizing maps and financial forecasting: an application
Authors: Marina Resta
Venue: Self-Organizing neural networks: recent advances and applications (2001)

Financial markets provide a singular field of analysis and exciting challenges for researchers. During the past decades, strongest assumptions on financial time-series (namely the Random Walk Hypothesis) have been partially discharged, and useful new paradigms (such as chaos, self similarity, self-organized critically) have been discovered to this field. One of teh arguments with respect to random walk is that chaotic time series can be long term random, and still have short term patterns. If, in fact, the marketplace has short term patterns, and some technicicans think it does, then there are windows of opportunity tat the random walker either denies exist or are unable to be exploited. Self Organizing Maps (SOMs), therefore, offer a powerful tool, suitable to explore financial markets, in order to find significant patterns, and use them as a forecasting tool. Additionally, the possibility to detect features of the market can be employed to find out the statistics of the process under examination, hence to decide whether or not the Random Walk Hypothesis is acceptable. This chapter will explore the use of Self Organizing Maps for such purpose. Both the conditions needed for data to be treated, and the evaluation of results obtained are considered.
Deeper: My Two Year Odyssey in Cyberspace, 1st edition
Authors: John Seabrook
Venue:  (1998)

:In Deeper, John Seabrook, a staff writer for the New Yorker, takes us along his personal journey down the information highway. In the beginning of this pioneering adventure into cyberspace, our hero (seabrook) is a clueless newbie. He ends up an old hand, complete with arrow wounds to show off. When Seabrook is not narrating his own on-line adventures, he is writing an eyewitness history of a tumultuous period in the early history of a new medium, when the Net moved decisively from a geeky hobby to a part of mainstream popular culture. We meet major figures in the computer industry, catch the utopian feeling, get flamed, get laid, soar over the Net like Satan soaring over the Earth in Paradise Lost, join a virtual community and find out what daily life is like, lose the utopian feeling, adapt to the World Wide Web, and build a Web site.

ASP Internals, 1st edition
Authors: Jon Flanders
Venue:  (2000)

:Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) is the standard technology for creating dynamic Web pages, but ASP alone does not allow Web developers to create scalable Web applications. Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) is the key that can turn good ASP applications into powerful, multi-tiered, scalable applications that are e-commerce-ready. ASP Internals examines the inner workings of ASP and shows readers how it interfaces with COM, enabling them to develop outstanding Web applications. Because the source code for ASP is not openly available, author Jon Flanders has created an ASP clone, Active COM Pages (ACP). In revealing its source code, he provides a view under the hood of ASP so developers can finally see and understand how it works and how they can most effectively work with it. ASP Internals covers each aspect of the ASP runtime. It demonstrates ASP integration with COM+ transactional services. And, most important, it shows readers how COM objects are created and interact with ASP. Other important topics include: How ASP is translated to and from the HTTP protocol ASP, IIS, and ISAPI, including threads, security, and the Web Application Manager Active Scripting, with an explanation of how to add named objects to running scripts ASP's IResponse and IRequest interfaces and how they interact with HTTP through ISAPI ASP state management at the session and application levels, and related performance issues How ASP and the Scripting Engine integrate with COM ASP integration with COM+ transactional services ASP's built-in internationalization features, including a look atUnicode Numerous code examples, written in VBScript, demonstrate best practices for performing vital programming tasks. Written for Web developers who are familiar with ASP and COM, ASP Internals shows readers how to make the best of both technologies in the creation of dynamic, high-quality, database-driven Web applications.

VSE JCL and Subroutines for Application Programmers
Authors: Leo J. Langevin
Venue:  (1992)

:Written for application programmers and operations personnel, this book helps you master JCL to control the execution of batch and online jobs, to define resources, and to control job flow. To do this, Langevin uses real working situations and explains each statement as he presents it. Each example is progressively more difficult. This lets you build gradually to complete mastery of VSE JCL. Questions and answers at the end of each section let you test your understanding. After an introduction to VSE, you'll learn how to define a job. You'll learn about the JOB statement, the EOJ statement, logical addressing, the UPSI statement, the EXEC statement, and the EOF statements, what they are, what they do, and how to use them. You'll next discuss assignment of resources and how to define resources that are stored or will be stored on a disk. Statements include ASSGN, DLBL, and EXTENT. Chapter 3 covers the hardware functions of tape and DASD as well as control statements to perform hardware requests to acquire and partition data. Then you learn how to access and use the VSE library. VSE can set parameters and make decisions within the JCL. You'll cover these items so you can create a job-stream to run differently based on the condition of its execution. Topics include return codes, labels, branching, conditional JCL, and using variables. Then you'll move on to procedures and source library includes. You'll also learn less frequently used JCL statements such as DVCUP, DVCDN, RESET, RERUN, and PAUSE, as well as security. Then Langevin teaches you how to use Power to control the printing, punching, and reading of unit record data. Langevin also provides 24 subroutines useful for application programming. These can be assembled and catalogued where your application program can access them. These subroutines can get the current date and the "//DATE" parameter value, convert hex to displayable characters, get the value in the program execution parameters, issue more Power c The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

Automatically indexing documents: content vs. reference
Authors: Shannon Bradshaw, Kristian Hammond
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Authors cite other work in many types of documents. Notable among these are research papers and web pages. Recently, several researchers have proposed using the text surrounding citations (references) as a means of automatically indexing documents for search engines, claiming that this technique is superior to indexing documents based on their content [1,2]. While we ourselves have made this claim, we acknowledge that little empirical data has been presented to support it. Therefore, in the limited space available we present a terse overview of a study comparing reference to content as bases for indexing documents. This study indicates that reference identifies the value of documents more accurately and with a greater diversity of language than content.

High Performance Simulation of Internal Combustion Engines
Authors: Andreas Werner, Harald Echtle, Monika Wierse
Venue: Proceedings of the 1998 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1998)

At the moment, the design process of piston engines is mainly characterized by building, testing and modifying prototypes. Computer simulation is used as a complimentary tool and in research, mainly because setting up, calculating and analyzing an ICE simulation currently has turnaround times of several weeks. All steps of the simulation, pre-processing, calculation and post-processing, had to be accelerated to create a usable tool for the industrial development process.Therefore, the EC Esprit project HPS-ICE (High Performance Simulation of Internal Combustion Engines) was set up with the partners Computational Dynamic Ltd., Daimler Benz AG, SGI, HLRS and VOLVO. The goal of the project is to reduce the time for a complete cycle to one week by using advanced methods for all steps of the simulation cycle. This paper describes the results of the project and a lookout into the future development.
