Shared variables
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1983)

Shared variables are an optional-facility. They are defined as an interface between cooperating APL sessions. They may be used to provide an interface between APL programs and non-APL system facilities.A variable can be shared by precisely two sessions; these are called the partners in the sharing. The partners can be either APL sessions or auxiliary-processors. An auxiliary-processor is a program, possibly written in a programming language other than APL, that communicates with an APL program through shared-variables.Auxiliary-processors are used to extend the semantics of APL without adding new entries to the form-table. They can be used to permit a conforming-program to access services not available in the standard APL environment through sequences of assignments and references to shared-variables. Conforming-programs that use shared-variables should document this fact, since shared-variables are not a defined-facility of this standard.

Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 1st edition
Authors: Eric A. Meyer
Venue:  (2000)

:Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is poised to make its mark on the Web in the year 2000. With good implementations in Internet Explorer 5.0 and Opera 3.5, and 100% support expected in Netscape's "Mozilla" browser, signs are that CSS is rapidly becoming a useful, reliable, and powerful tool for Web authors. CSS is the HTML 4.0-approved method for controlling visual presentation on Web pages. Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide offers a complete, detailed review of CSS1 properties and other aspects of CSS1. Each property is explored individually in detail with discussion of how each interacts with other properties. There is also information on how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation. This book is the first major title to cover CSS in a way that acknowledges and describes current browser support, instead of simply describing the way things work in theory. It offers both advanced and novice Web authors a comprehensive guide to implementation of CSS. Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide targets veteran Web authors who have already invested thousands of hours in learning HTML and writing Web pages and are wondering why they'd need to learn a brand new language of style. This book supplies those dubious but curious Web authors with the information they need to easily implement CSS to their Web site. This book also addresses an audience of novice Web authors who are already straining to learn all of the tags and attributes of HTML and can benefit now from implementing CSS correctly instead of repeating the mistakes of the past. The author has extensive experience writing about pitfalls and interesting tricks in CSS. He is a member ofthe CSS&FP Working Group, coordinates the W3C's CSS1 Test Suite, remains active on CSS newsgroups, and edits Web Review's Style Sheets Reference Guide (styles.webreview.com). He has built a widespread reputation as a CSS expert, particularly with regard to his understanding of the intricacies of browser support for CSS. He brings his knowledge and expertise to this book in the form of hints, workarounds, and many other tips for Web authors.

BAREMO: how to choose the appropriate software component using the analytic hierarchy process
Authors: Adolfo Lozano-Tello, Asunción Gómez-Pérez
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

To select a software component from several similar candidates is a complex task, since each project pursues different objectives. We intend to use the Analytic Hierarchy Process in the taking of multicriteria decisions for software component reuse. This method is called BAREMO. It will help the software engineer to make estimations which will enable him/her to choose the appropriate component. The article presents a case study of the application of the method, where a project manager assesses a certain software component in order to consider its reuse in the domain of image processing.
Extending a persistent object framework to enhance enterprise application server performance
Authors: John Grundy, Steve Newby, Thomas Whitmore, Peter Grundeman
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th Australasian database conference - Volume 5 (2002)

High-volume transaction processing speed is critical for adequate performance in many enterprise application servers. We describe our experiences using an object-oriented persistency framework to achieve greatly enhanced server response by the transparent use of main-memory database technology. We took an application server whose data persistency is abstracted via a persistent object framework and replaced a version of the framework using a relational database for persistency with one that uses a memory database. No changes to any of the application server components were necessary to achieve this and we achieved between 10-20 times transaction processing performance improvement. We briefly discuss some extensions to our memory database and mapping framework necessary for large-scale enterprise systems support and for data-oriented systems integration. We hope our experiences will be useful for others, both in terms of techniques for abstracting object persistency mechanisms and in approaches to application server performance enhancement.

An implementation of parallel pattern-matching via concurrent haskell
Authors: Lyndon While, Greg Mildenhall
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

Parallel pattern-matching offers the maximum laziness for programs written in lazy functional languages. Function arguments are evaluated concurrently and all arguments are given equal precedence, so functions can return results whenever possible in the presence of errors or infinite computations. We describe the motivation for and the semantics of parallel pattern-matching. We also describe the first available implementation of Haskell with parallel pattern-matching. The implementation works via a source-to-source translation into Concurrent Haskell, using the existing facilities of GHC to provide the required concurrency. Various transformation techniques are outlined which can help to reduce the degree and cost of the concurrency required to satisfy the semantics.

Monochromatic Partitions of Complete Uniform Hypergraphs
Authors: Krzysztof Brys, Zbigniew Lonc
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

Let H be a complete n-uniform hypergraph, the edges of which are colored with c colors. A subhypergraph of H is called monochromatic if all its edges are colored with the same color. We prove that, for fixed n, c, and k, the problem of deciding whether H admits a partition of its vertex set into subsets inducing complete monochromatic subhypergraphs of order at least k is polynomial.

Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime and Militancy
Authors: John Arquilla, David F. Ronfeldt
Venue:  (2001)

:Book Introduction: The fight for the future makes daily headlines. Its battles are not between the armies of leading states, nor are its weapons the large, expensive tanks, planes and fleets of regular armed forces. Rather, the combatants come from bomb-making terrorist groups like Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, drug smuggling cartels like those in Colombia and Mexico, and militant anarchists like the Black Bloc that ran amok during the Battle of Seattle. Other protagonists are civil-society activists fighting for democracy and human rights-from Burma to the Balkans. What all have in common is that they operate in small, dispersed units that can deploy niimbly-anywhere, anytime. They know how to penetrate and disrupt, as well as elude and evade. All feature network forms of organization, doctrine, strategy, and technology attuned to the information age. And, from the Intifadah to the drug war, they are proving very hard to beat; some may actually be winning. This is the story we have to tell. Author Bios: DAVID F. RONFELDT (Ph.D., Political Science, Stanford University) is a senior social scientist at RAND whose research focus includes information revolution, netwar, cyberocracy, strategic swarming and the rise of transnational networks of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).

Equivalence analysis and its application in improving the efficiency of program slicing
Authors: Donglin Liang, Mary Jean Harrold
Venue: ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM) (2002)

Existing methods for handling pointer variables during dataflow analyses can make such analyses inefficient in both time and space because the data-flow analyses must store and propagate large sets of data facts that are introduced by dereferences of pointer variables. This article presents equivalence analysis, a general technique to improve the efficiency of data-flow analyses in the presence of pointer variables. The technique identifies equivalence relations among the memory locations accessed by a procedure, and ensures that two equivalent memory locations share the same set of data facts in a procedure and in the procedures that are called by that procedure. Thus, a data-flow analysis needs to compute the data-flow information for only a representative memory location in an equivalence class. The data-flow information for other memory locations in the equivalence class can be derived from that of the representative memory location. The article also shows the extension to an interprocedural slicing algorithm that uses equivalence analysis to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Our empirical studies suggest that equivalence analysis may effectively improve the efficiency of many data-flow analyses.
Detecting and Browsing Events in Unstructured text
Authors: David A. Smith
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Previews and overviews of large, heterogeneous information resources help users comprehend the scope of collections and focus on particular subsets of interest. For narrative documents, questions of "what happened? where? and when?" are natural points of entry. Building on our earlier work at the Perseus Project with detecting terms, place names, and dates, we have exploited co-occurrences of dates and place names to detect and describe likely events in document collections. We compare statistical measures for determining the relative significance of various events. We have built interfaces that help users preview likely regions of interest for a given range of space and time by plotting the distribution and relevance of various collocations. Users can also control the amount of collocation information in each view. Once particular collocations are selected, the system can identify key phrases associated with each possible event to organize browsing of the documents themselves.
