Beginning C#, 1st edition
Authors: Karli Watson, Ollie Cornes, Marco Bellinaso, David Espinosa, Zach Greenvoss, Christian Nagel
Venue:  (2001)

:C# is Microsoft's brand new programming language for its new platform, the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework consists of a runtime environment for managing the execution of our code, and a whole host of class libraries for performing almost any programming task you can think of. Although .NET code can be written in many languages, C# is the only language designed specifically for the .NET Framework, and as such is set to become the language of choice for writing .NET applications for years to come. This book will be an indispensable guide as you learn to write C# programs, gradually explaining the key concepts of C# and .NET as your skills develop. After a thorough explanation of the basics of the C# language, we take an in-depth look at object-oriented programming in C#, before moving on to see how we write Windows applications in C#. We also show how you can create dynamic web pages and web services in C#. Finally, two case studies provide full examples of C# applications in action and show how it all ties together. This book covers: The C# language .NET Programming with C# Object-oriented programming Writing Windows applications Accessing databases Writing web pages and web services in C#

Conditioning of the Stable, Discrete-Time Lyapunov Operator
Authors: Michael K. Tippett, Stephen E. Cohn, Ricardo Todling, Dan Marchesin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

The Schatten p-norm condition of the discrete-time Lyapunov operator $\A$ defined on matrices $P \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ by $\A P \equiv P -A P A ^{T}$ is studied for stable matrices $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$. Bounds are obtained for the norm of $\A$ and its inverse that depend on the spectrum, singular values, and radius of stability of A. Since the solution P of the discrete-time algebraic Lyapunov equation (DALE) $\A P = Q$ can be ill-conditioned only when either $\A$ or Q is ill-conditioned, these bounds are useful in determining whether P admits a low-rank approximation, which is important in the numerical solution of the DALE for large n.

Storing and querying ordered XML using a relational database system
Authors: Igor Tatarinov, Stratis D. Viglas, Kevin Beyer, Jayavel Shanmugasundaram, Eugene Shekita, Chun Zhang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

XML is quickly becoming the de facto standard for data exchange over the Internet. This is creating a new set of data management requirements involving XML, such as the need to store and query XML documents. Researchers have proposed using relational database systems to satisfy these requirements by devising ways to "shred" XML documents into relations, and translate XML queries into SQL queries over these relations. However, a key issue with such an approach, which has largely been ignored in the research literature, is how (and whether) the ordered XML data model can be efficiently supported by the unordered relational data model. This paper shows that XML's ordered data model can indeed be efficiently supported by a relational database system. This is accomplished by encoding order as a data value. We propose three order encoding methods that can be used to represent XML order in the relational data model, and also propose algorithms for translating ordered XPath expressions into SQL using these encoding methods. Finally, we report the results of an experimental study that investigates the performance of the proposed order encoding methods on a workload of ordered XML queries and updates.

Multiple Comparison Methods for Means
Authors: John A. Rafter, Martha L. Abell, James P. Braselton
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

Multiple comparison methods (MCMs) are used to investigate differences between pairs of population means or, more generally, between subsets of population means using sample data. Although several such methods are commonly available in statistical software packages, users may be poorly informed about the appropriate method(s) to use and/or the correct way to interpret the results. This paper classifies the MCMs and presents the important methods for each class. Both simulated and real data are used to compare methods, and emphasis is placed on correct application and interpretation. We include suggestions for choosing the best method. Mathematica programs developed by the authors are used to compare MCMs. By taking advantage of Mathematica's notebook structure, an interested student can use these programs to explore the subject more deeply. The programs and examples used in the article are available at http://www.cs.gasou.edu/faculty/rafter/MCMM/.

Proceedings of the 1st workshop on Network and system support for games
Venue: Network and System Support for Games (2002)

Games in different manners have always been part of human live. Especially to play together with other people, to measure strengths and capabilities is of major interest to most humans. Hence, new technologies have also been used to provide for new games and new game categories.The computer-based game exists in a large variety of forms, from first-player shooters to role-playing games to puzzles, and for largely varying endsystems, from standard PCs to specialized game-consoles to mobile telephones. Whilst single-player computer games have existed for decades, networked games have recently found widespread interest. For some of the more popular network-based multiplayer games, appropriate system and network support is required to provide the players with sufficient performance. For example, in an interactive real-time game, delays introduced by local processing and network transmission may cause inconsistencies in the distributed state of the game. Research into networked games is becoming increasingly popular. But from a technical point of view, the boundary between games and more 'serious' applications is not always clearly defined. Flight simulators, for instance, may be seen as games but also as (semi) professional 'training tools'.Starting from some discussions about research issues in the games realm, the idea to hold a workshop devoted to this topic came up in fall 2001. This led to the organization of this First International Workshop on Network and System Support for Games, Braunschweig, Germany, April 16-17, 2002. We followed a very tight schedule during the workshop organization to allow for up-to-date contributions. Authors and PC members worked hard to make the schedule and finally the workshop program possible. The high quality of the papers in the workshop proceedings demonstrates that the theme is a very active and interesting research area.
