T1: a survival guide
Venue:  (2001)

If you haven't worked with T1 before, you could be in for an unpleasant surprise. If you have, you'll already know that T1, the current network standard for business and professional Internet access, is neither efficient, easy to use, nor particularly well-suited to data transmission. T1: A Survival Guide, a practical, applied reference on T1 data transport, is a life raft for navigating the shoals of a 40-year-old technology originally designed for AT&T's voice network. In spite of its limitations, T1 is a proven, reliable technology that currently meets the need for medium-speed, high-reliability Internet access by institutions of many sizes, and it's likely to be around for a while. T1: A Survival Guide will take the guesswork out of using T1 as a data transport.

Database Development For Dummies
Authors: Allen G. Taylor
Venue:  (2000)

:Database Development For Dummies is a prequel to SQL for Dummies, which is used in many college database courses across the country. Database Development For Dummies tells why and how database systems came into being, then using actual examples, describes the many obstacles to success that frequently arise in database development projects, and how to handle them. The key to successful database development is accurate and appropriate modeling of the real-world system that will be placed on the computer. Database Development For Dummies describes in detail two popular modeling methods, the entity-relationship model and the semantic object model. Once the model of a system is complete, the book describes how to convert the model into a database design, then implement the model on the target platform. Database on intranets and the Internet is covered, as are the issues that arise when multiple users simultaneously access the same database. A chapter is devoted to the emerging enterprise database market, including data warehousing. Another chapter covers the new object-relational technology.
Big Shots,Business the Aol Way: Secrets of the World's Number 1 WebMaster
Authors: David M. Stauffer
Venue:  (2000)

:AOL is the world's single most successful internet-based company, whether measured by number of customers, annual revenues, or profits. CEO Steve Case is a visionary, a charismatic leader who has taken AOL from obscurity to become the pre-eminent new-media brand in less than 10 years. In Business the AOL Way, David Stauffer examines this remarkable success story. While it may seem today that AOL has been a prominent name in the new-media world for as long as Apple or Microsoft, AOL in fact had fewer than 200,000 subscribers as recently as 1993. That number increased by a factor of 7,000% over the following five years. Before most executives even knew what the internet was, Steve Case had clearly seen its business potential. And while most of the superstar companies of the dot com world can only tell their investors of profits to come at some indefinite future date, AOL has achieved profitability that many believe can only grown stronger in coming years.

Sensor Array Signal Processing, 1st edition
Authors: Prabhakar S. Naidu
Venue:  (2000)

:Sensors arrays are used in diverse applications across a broadrange of disciplines. Regardless of the application, however, the tools of sensor array signal processing remain the same. Furthermore, whether your interest is in acoustic, seismic, mechanical, or electromagnetic wavefields, they all have a common mathematical framework. Mastering this framework and those tools lays a strong foundation for more specialized study and research. Sensor Array Signal Processing helps build that foundation. It unravels the underlying principles of the subject without reference to any particular application. Instead, the author focuses on the common threads that exist in wavefield analysis. After introducing the basic equations governing different wavefields, the treatment includes topics from simple beamformation, spatial filtering, and high resolution DOA estimation to imaging and reflector mapping. It studies different types of sensor configurations, but focuses on the uniform linear and circular arrays-the most useful configurations for understanding array systems in practice. Unique in its approach, depth, and quantitative focus, Sensor Array Signal Processing offers the ideal starting point and an outstanding reference for those working or interested in medical imaging, astronomy, radar, communications, sonar, seismology-any field that studies propagating wavefields. Its clear exposition, numerical examples, exercises, and wide applicability impart a broad picture of array signal processing unmatched by any other text on the market.

Quantified constraints under perturbation
Authors: Stefan Ratschan
Venue: Journal of Symbolic Computation (2002)

Quantified constraints (i.e. first-order formulae over the real numbers) are often exposed to perturbations: usually constants that come from measurements are only known up to certain precision, and numerical methods only compute with approximations of real numbers. In this paper we study the behavior of quantified constraints under perturbation by showing that one can formulate the problem of solving quantified constraints as a nested parametric optimization problem followed by one sign computation. Using the fact that minima and maxima are stable under perturbation, but the sign of a real number is stable only for non-zero inputs, we derive practically useful conditions for the stability of quantified constraints under perturbation.

Building AS/400 Client/Server Applications: Put ODBC and Client Access APIs to Work, 1st edition
Authors: Michael Otey
Venue:  (1998)

:Client/server is one of the least understood technologies in the IBM midrange arena. Like other technologies of near-mythic proportions, client/server both promises and threatens to change the world of application development as you know it. Your company's management may be asking when you are going to implement client/server, while you are still trying to figure out just what it is. Building AS/400 Client Server Applications will help you sort client/server myth from reality. Michael Otey, a leading client/server authority with extensive practical client/server application development experience, gives you the why, what, and how-to of AS/400 client/server computing, which matches the strengths of the AS/400 with the PC GUIs that users want. This book's clear and easy-to-understand style guides you through all the important aspects of AS/400 client/server applications. The author covers APPC and TCP/IP communications, as well as the underlying architectures for each of the major AS/400 client/server APIs. You learn to use APPC and the Router API, Remote Command, Data Queues, Distributed Program Calls, and ODBC. Complete source code for several working applications helps you master the nuts and bolts of AS/400 client/server application development. The working examples and utilities can be put to use in your environment immediately. Particularly useful utilities include Communications Monitor, a Windows application that periodically checks the status of an AS/400's communications lines and displays the status in a window; performance Monitor, a Windows application that obtains AS/400 performance data and graphically displays it; and an ODBC benchmark application. Key features: both 16-bit and 32-bit client/server example programs techniques for high-performance ODBC applications tips for securing ODBC and other client/server applications, examples showing how to write AS/400 client server exit programs

Handoff and optimal channel assignment in wireless networks
Authors: Novella Bartolini
Venue: Mobile Networks and Applications (2001)

In this paper, a non-preemptive prioritization scheme for access control in cellular networks is analyzed. Two kinds of users are assumed to compete for the access to the limited number of frequency channels available in each cell: the high priority users represent handoff requests, while the low priority users correspond to initial access requests originated within the same cell. Queueing of handoff requests is also considered. The research for the best access policy is carried out by means of a Markov decision model which allows us to study a very wide class of policies which includes some well known pure stationary policies, as well as randomized ones. The cutoff priority policy, consisting in reserving a certain number of channels to the high priority stream of requests, is proved to be optimal within this class while using an objective function in the form of a linear combination of some quality of service parameters, when no queueing device is considered. Numerical results confirm the optimality of the cutoff priority policy when queueing of handoff requests is allowed.
