Traffic analysis and display for the San Francisco vessel traffic system
Authors: R. G. King, F. S. Gregorski, P. C. Marth
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

To help improve harbor safety in the face of increasing shipping volume and vessel sites, an experimental Vessel Traffic System has been designed, fabricated, and installed in San Francisco Harbor. The Traffic Analysis and Display portion of the system uses computer generated synthetic map and text displays to provide an interactive system for up to three operators. A series of services has been designed which enable the operators to obtain radar contact information and to enter, modify, and recall text information through a series of simple keyboard actions.In addition to the interactive working displays, 4 supporting displays have been provided for designated map segments of the harbor, along with two alpha numeric displays for summary text information. A set of symbols has been developed to allow quick recognition of the vessel traffic situation by the operators.A control computer connected to three interactive display computers and five passive display units provides complete radar contact processing and display, as well as quick respond to independent operator requests for information or services. The operators can put vessels into any one of three basic categories which allows them to keep the vessels sorted and easily follow the progress of the important ones through the harbor.A background program supplements the operator actions by looking for and reporting specific trouble situations, such as collision warnings, allowing an operator to concentrate on a particular situation without fear of missing a major problem elsewhere in the harbor.
Essential XML: Beyond Markup, 1st edition
Authors: Don Box, Aaron Skonnard, John Lam
Venue:  (2000)

:Authors Don Box, Aaron Skonnard, and John Lam cover the key issues, technologies, and techniques involved in using XML as the adhesive between disparate software components and environments. They explain the fundamental abstractions and concepts that permeate all XML technologies, primarily those documented in the XML Information Set (Infoset). XML-based approaches to metadata, declarative, and procedural programming through transformation and programmatic interfaces are covered. Don Box, co-author of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) specification, provides readers with insight into this emerging XML messaging technology for bridging COM, CORBA, EJB, and the Web.Readers acquire a better understanding of XML's inner workings and come to see how its platform, language, and vendor independencealong with its accessibilitymake it an extraordinarily effective solution for software interoperation.

Havi Example by Example: Java Programming for Home Entertainment Devices
Authors: Rodger Lea, Simon Gibbs, Ravi Gauba, Ram Balaraman
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:PrefaceWhat Is HAVi?HAViHome Audio-Video Interoperabilityis a system architecture for the development of home network applications. The HAVi architecture is specified by an organization of consumer electronics and software companies. For HAVi, a home network is a group of connected AV (audio-video) devices within a home. This is sometimes called a home entertainment network or an AV cluster. Devices compliant with the HAVi specification implement a set of system services that allow them to interoperate over IEEE 1394 connections. IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire and i.LINK, is a high-speed serial bus used to connect devices into tree-shaped networks. HAVi specifies services to locate, query, control, and extend IEEE 1394 audio-video devices.Who This Book Is ForThis book is intended primarily for developers with an interest in home entertainment devices and services. Others who may find the book of interest include those studying networking and distributed systems, and designers of audio-video products. Basic knowledge of Java is useful, but some familiarity with programming is all that is needed to follow many of the examples.Programming AidsThe HAVi by Example Web site is located at www.vividlogic.com/hbx. At this Web site you can find: JavaDoc for HJA 1.1 source code examples, and HAVi 1.1 SDK (Software Developers Kit).To run the SDK you will need a Pentium-class PC with Linux 2.4.1 or later (this version of Linux has IEEE 1394 support), a JVM, and JDK 1.1.8 or later. If you want to control HAVi devices, you will need anIEEE 1394 port on your PC. See www.vividlogic.com/hbx/releaseNotes.txt for a list of supported IEEE 1394 cards.

Error Estimates for the Staggered Lax--Friedrichs Scheme on Unstructured Grids
Authors: Marc Küther
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

Staggered grid finite volume methods (also called central schemes) were introduced in one dimension by Nessyahu and Tadmor in 1990 in order to avoid the necessity of having information on solutions of Riemann problems for the evaluation of numerical fluxes. We consider the general case in multidimensions and on general staggered grids which have to satisfy only an overlap assumption. We interpret the staggered Lax--Friedrichs scheme as a three-step method consisting of a prolongation step onto a finer intersection grid, a finite volume step with an arbitrarily good numerical flux (e.g., Godunov flux) on the intersection grid, followed by an averaging step such that the calculation of numerical fluxes reduces to evaluations of the continuous flux. Using this point of view, we prove an a posteriori error estimate and an a priori error estimate in the L1-norm in space and time which is of order h1/4, where h is a mesh-size parameter. Hence, we recover for the staggered Lax--Friedrichs scheme the same order of convergence as for upwind finite volume methods on a fixed grid.

Behavioural typing for objects and process calculi
Authors: Elie Najm, Abdelkrim Nimour, Jean-Bernard Stefani
Venue: Formal methods for distributed processing: a survey of object-oriented approaches (2001)

In this chapter we dicuss issues regarding behavioural typing in concurrent processes and object calculi. In contrast to the functional paradigm, processes and objects do exhibit state, interaction and behaviour. The actions that may be engaged by a process (we can similarly talk about the methods that may be invoked on an object) depend on its state. Using object terminology, objects are said to manifest non uniform service offers. Behavioural typing is then highly relevant. It allows one to reason about types in this dynamic setting. For instance, behavioural types systems may be used to statically check properties such as 'no service denial'. First, we introduce and motivate behavioural typing and briefly present its main characteristics and issues. Then we discuss one of the approaches based on explicit interface-based bahavioural typing.
Probabilistic models of information retrieval based on measuring the divergence from randomness
Authors: Gianni Amati, Cornelis Joost Van Rijsbergen
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) (2002)

We introduce and create a framework for deriving probabilistic models of Information Retrieval. The models are nonparametric models of IR obtained in the language model approach. We derive term-weighting models by measuring the divergence of the actual term distribution from that obtained under a random process. Among the random processes we study the binomial distribution and Bose--Einstein statistics. We define two types of term frequency normalization for tuning term weights in the document--query matching process. The first normalization assumes that documents have the same length and measures the information gain with the observed term once it has been accepted as a good descriptor of the observed document. The second normalization is related to the document length and to other statistics. These two normalization methods are applied to the basic models in succession to obtain weighting formulae. Results show that our framework produces different nonparametric models forming baseline alternatives to the standard tf-idf model.

This is the first SIAM Review issue to benefit from a new (and opinionated) editorial board. Many reviews we have solicited have not yet materialized, however, so some that follow are the result of our predecessor Bruce Kellogg's efforts. Miriam Lucian of the Boeing Company highly recommends the books on geometry and graphics that she reviews. She sensibly took the liberty not to mention a book she disliked and another that deserves a more in-depth treatment. We thank all our authors for sharing their opinions on the books they've read and encourage all readers to let us know what they think of the reviews we publish.
Solving a Quadratic Matrix Equation by Newton's Method with Exact Line Searches
Authors: Nicholas J. Higham, Hyun-Min Kim
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

We show how to incorporate exact line searches into Newton's method for solving the quadratic matrix equation AX2 + BX + C = 0, where A, B and C are square matrices. The line searches are relatively inexpensive and improve the global convergence properties of Newton's method in theory and in practice. We also derive a condition number for the problem and show how to compute the backward error of an approximate solution.
Graphs with magnetic Schr&#x00F6;dinger operators of low corank
Authors: Hein van der Holst
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series B (2002)

Colin de Verdière (1998, J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B. 74, 121-146) introduced the graph parameter v(G), which is defined as the maximal corank of any positive semidefinite magnetic Schrödinger operator fulfilling a certain transversality condition. He showed that for connected simple graphs, v(G) ≤ 1 if and only if G is a tree. In this paper we characterize for k = 2, 3, the classes of graphs G with v(G) ≤ k.
