Conceptions of curriculum for simulation education: panel
Authors: Helena Szczerbicka, Jerry Banks, Ralph V. Rogers, Tuncer I. Ören, Hessam S. Sarjoughian, Bernard P. Zeigler
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

In the Winter Simulation Conference 1999 in Phoenix, a series of discussions, conversations, and exchanges on the topic of personnel to meet the current modeling and simulation demands of the civilian application and world military as well led to the idea of giving this discussion a more structured shape in the Winter Simulation Conference 2000. We continue to discuss the complex issue of Simulation Education. A general demand for modeling and simulation professionals can be observed in a large number of enterprises. However computer science graduates are not adequately prepared for employment opportunities involving simulation as a tool in solving problems. Most computer science majors have very limited exposure to simulation. They gain experience in handling of simulation problems by on-the-job-training. Moreover, there doesn't exist any consensus of simulation as a discipline. The following questions hence emerge:&bull; What are the reasons for shortages of modeling and simulation professionals?&bull; What would make simulation into a discipline?&bull; What skills should professionals develop during the education and training?&bull; Impact of developments in simulation technology: what do we educate simulation professionals for?&bull; What are the educational strategies to meet current and anticipated world needs in simulation?&bull; What are the goals of an educational curriculum for simulation?&bull; How to organize education of simulation to make it attractive for students?&bull; What are criteria on selection of tools for teaching simulation?&bull; Are there initiatives currently going on in the Modelling and Simulation community to establish some structure in the M&S education and training?The panel collects 6 simulation professionals from educational institutions that currently offer simulation programs, and non-educational organizations with interests in simulation education. The objective is to address issues related to the growth and need of degree programs in simulation. The panel members from academia, enterprises when the outcome is not known but is sought to aid in the creation of new knowledge either for its own sake or aid decision maker in a decision process. Entertainment simulation provides an experience where the outcome is simply entertainment While these three categories are useful, there are not sharp boundaries between the three. There is overlap among all three categories. Simulation environments can be used for all three simultaneously. At Old Dominion, the focus is on environments for training and education and, especially, on environments for discovery. Of particular interest are those instances where outcomes of the simulation environment include both training/education and discovery.

Engineering of Web services with XML and XSL
Authors: Engin Kirda
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th European software engineering conference held jointly with 9th ACM SIGSOFT international symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2001)

The important role of Web services in businesses and organizations is undisputed today. The construction and management of large Web services is still a challenge. The life cycle of a Web service includes the analysis, design, implementation and maintenance stages and Web service engineering covers all phases of Web service life cycle. The majority of Web tools developed so far only address the implementation phase and lack support for the other stages. Furthermore, emerging requirements such as the support for mobile devices have introduced new challenges and problems developers have to deal with. The World Wide Web Consortium's eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and the eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) are standards defined in the interest of multi-purpose publishing and content reuse and are increasingly being deployed in the construction of Web services. This tutotial shows how to design, implement, and manage adaptable XML/XSL-based Web services. It discusses and presents our experiences in maintaining and building the Vienna International Festival Web service. It gives a brief overview of popular Web engineering technologies and some tools we have developed. The tutorial also examines the common difficulties, non-difficulties, and solutions of Web service engineering and presents work being done in the area.
Spoken dialogue technology: enabling the conversational user interface
Authors: Michael F. McTear
Venue: ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) (2002)

Spoken dialogue systems allow users to interact with computer-based applications such as databases and expert systems by using natural spoken language. The origins of spoken dialogue systems can be traced back to Artificial Intelligence research in the 1950s concerned with developing conversational interfaces. However, it is only within the last decade or so, with major advances in speech technology, that large-scale working systems have been developed and, in some cases, introduced into commercial environments. As a result many major telecommunications and software companies have become aware of the potential for spoken dialogue technology to provide solutions in newly developing areas such as computer-telephony integration. Voice portals, which provide a speech-based interface between a telephone user and Web-based services, are the most recent application of spoken dialogue technology. This article describes the main components of the technology---speech recognition, language understanding, dialogue management, communication with an external source such as a database, language generation, speech synthesis---and shows how these component technologies can be integrated into a spoken dialogue system. The article describes in detail the methods that have been adopted in some well-known dialogue systems, explores different system architectures, considers issues of specification, design, and evaluation, reviews some currently available dialogue development toolkits, and outlines prospects for future development.

Statistical tools for simulation design and analysis I: finding important independent variables through screening designs: a comparison of methods
Authors: Linda Trocine, Linda C. Malone
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Once a simulation model is developed, designed experiments may be employed to efficiently optimize the system. Designed experiments are used on "real" production systems as well. The first step is to screen for important independent variables. Several screening methods are compared and contrasted in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and robustness. These screening methods range from the classical factorial designs and two-stage group screening to new, more novel designs including sequential bifurcation (SB) and iterated fractional factorial designs (IFFD). Conditions for the use of the methods are provided along with references on how to use them.

C++: The Complete Reference, 2nd edition
Authors: Herbert Schildt
Venue:  (1995)

From the Book:This is the third edition of C++: The Complete Reference. In the years that have transpired since the second edition, C++ has undergone many changes. Perhaps the most important is that it is now a standardized language. In November of 1997, the ANSI/ISO committee charged with the task of standardizing C++, passed out of committee an international Standard for C++. This event marked the end of a very long, and at times contentious, process. As a member of the ANSI/ISO C++ committee, I watched the progress of the emerging standard, following each debate and argument. Near the end, there was a world-wide, daily dialogue, conducted via e- mail, in which the pros and cons of this or that issue were put forth, and finally resolved. While the process was longer and more exhausting than anyone at first envisioned, the result was worth the trouble. We now have a standard for what is, without question, the most important programming language in the world. During standardization, several new features were added to C++. Some are relatively small. Others, like the STL (Standard Template Library) have ramifications that will affect the course of programming for years to come. The net effect of the additions was that the scope and range of the language were greatly expanded. For example, because of the addition of the numerics library, C++ can be more conveniently used for numeric processing. Of course, the information contained in this edition reflects the International Standard for C++ defined by the ANSI/ISO committee, including its new features.
A language for systems not just software
Authors: Peter Amey
Venue: ACM SIGAda Ada Letters (2001)

The specification and implementation of software-intensive systems have generally been viewed as separate processes with differing notations. There are good reasons for trying to use notations capable of bridging the gap between the two. The spark language was originally concerned solely with providing an unambiguous subset of Ada that was suitable for rigorous static analysis and formal verification. Evolution of spark's system of formal comments or annotations has resulted in a language which now provides parallel descriptions of required system behaviour and software implementation. Analyses performed by the spark Examiner bind these parallel descriptions together. The result, not foreseen by the original designers of spark, is a language that can be used to describe systems rather than just implement software.
Guaranteeing the diversity of number generators
Authors: Adi Shamir, Boaz Tsaban
Venue: Information and Computation (2002)

A major problem in using iterative number generators of the form xi=f (xi-1) is that they can enter unexpectedly short cycles. This is hard to analyze when the generator is designed, hard to detect in real time when the generator is used, and can have devastating cryptanalytic implications. In this paper we define a measure of security, called sequence diversity, which generalizes the notion of cycle-length for noniterative generators. We then introduce the class of counter-assisted generators and show how to turn any iterative generator (even a bad one designed or seeded by an adversary) into a counter-assisted generator with a provably high diversity, without reducing the quality of generators which are already cryptographically strong. 2001 Elsevier Science
