ASP.NET Distributed Data Applications, 1st edition
Authors: Alex Homer, Richard Anderson, Brian Francis, David Sussman
Venue:  (2002)

:ASP.NET is a huge advance from previous incarnations of ASP, with one of its goals being pure HTML output that achieves maximum cross-browsercompatibility. The server-side event architecture tends to engender this approach, but amid the first flush of excitement it's often forgotten that there's still a place for rich clients, and handling data in a multitude of places. Distributed data-driven applications aren't new, but the range of possibilities and ease of development have both increased with the introduction of .NET. This book concentrates on the use of ASP.NET for building applications for Internet or Intranet use, and looking at the possibilities that rich clients brings to both application design and a better user experience. There often appears to be confusion over how the new .NET data management and page-processing models fit into the overall distributed application architecture, how it changes this, and how it provides exciting new opportunities. So we spend some time exploring the whole architecture and design issue, and see how it can be addressed in different ways. Author Biography: Dave Sussman is a hacker in the traditional sense of the word. That's someone who likes playing with code and working out how things work, which is why he spends much of his life working with beta software. Luckily this coincides with writing about new technologies, giving him an output for his poor English and grammar. He lives in a small village in the Oxfordshire countryside. Like many programmers everywhere he has an expensive hi-fi, a big TV and no life. Alex Homer is a computer geek and Web developer with a passion for ASP.NET. Although he has to spend some time doing real work (a bit of consultancy and training, and the occasional conference session), most of his days are absorbed in playing with the latest Microsoft Web technology and then writing about it. Living in the picturesque wilderness of the Derbyshire Dales in England, he is well away from the demands of the real world  with only an Internet connection to maintain some distant representation of normality. But, hey, what else could you want from life?

Building Linux Clusters with Cdrom, 1st edition
Authors: David Spector
Venue:  (2000)

:One approach to building supercomputers is to interconnect any number of common PCs using an interface like Ethernet. This method, called clustering or "Beowulf" clustering, produces very inexpensive powerful computers whose capabilities would previously have cost millions of dollars. Now for a few tens of thousands of dollars, very powerful computers can be built for any number of computing solutions. From scientific applications to transaction processing, clustering technology provides an affordable, scalable computing solution. Building Linux Clusters introduces the reader to the basics of cluster installation and configuration, and comes complete with a CD full of cluster installation programs and tools for parallel programming. Focusing on the "how to" of building a Linux cluster, this book is a hands-on guide for people new to clustering. It is the definitive guide to scaling Linux for scientific and enterprise applications.

A tool for component based design of embedded software
Authors: David Urting, Yolande Berbers, Stefan Van Baelen, Tom Holvoet, Yves Vandewoude, Peter Rigole
Venue: Proceedings of the Fortieth International Conference on Tools Pacific: Objects for internet, mobile and embedded applications (2002)

In this paper a new approach for building embedded applications is presented. The approach is based on the composition of reusable components with the addition of a contract principle for modelling non-functional constraints. Non-functional constraints are an important aspect of embedded systems, and this is why they are modelled separately. As such, the component view presented here differs from traditional component based views, where focus is laid on the functional part. The ideas discussed in the paper have been implemented in a tool. This tool enables the construction of embedded software by means of components and contracts. Currently, runtime mechanisms - that enable runtime monitoring of the contracts - are being included.

A State-Space Calculus for Rational Probability Density Functions and Applications to Non-Gaussian Filtering
Authors: Bernard Hanzon, Raimund J. Ober
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

We propose what we believe to be a novel approach to performing calculations for rational density functions using state-space representations of the densities. By standard results from realization theory, a rational probability density function is considered to be the transfer function of a linear system with generally complex entries. The stable part of this system is positive-real, which we call the density summand. The existence of moments is investigated using the Markov parameters of the density summand. Moreover, explicit formulae are given for the existing moments in terms of these Markov parameters. Some of the main contributions of the paper are explicit state-space descriptions for products and convolutions of rational densities.As an application which is of interest in its own right, the filtering problem is investigated for a linear time-varying system whose noise inputs have rational probability density functions. In particular, state-space formulations are derived for the calculation of the prediction and update equations. The case of Cauchy noise is treated as an illustrative example.

Real-Time Design Patterns: Robust Scalable Architecture for Real-Time Systems
Authors: Bruce Powell Douglass
Venue:  (2002)

When creating real-time and embedded (RTE) systems, there is no room for error. The nature of the final product demands that systems be powerful, efficient, and highly reliable. The constraints of processor and memory resources add to this challenge. Sophisticated developers rely on design patterns-proven solutions to recurrent design challenges-for building fail-safe RTE systems.Real-Time Design Patterns is the foremost reference for developers seeking to employ this powerful technique. The text begins with a review of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation and semantics then introduces the Rapid Object-Oriented Process for Embedded Systems (ROPES) process and its key technologies. A catalog of design patterns and their applications follows.Key topics covered in this book include: Identifying large-scale strategic decisions that affect most software elements Coordinating and organizing system components and subsystems Managing memory and resources Defining how objects can be distributed across multiple systems Building safe and reliable architectures Mapping subsystem and component architectures to underlying hardwareThe book's extensive problem-solving templates, which draw on the author's years in the trenches, will help readers find faster, easier, and more effective design solutions.The accompanying CD-ROM contains: Related papers Object Management Group (OMG) specifications Rhapsody™-a UML-compliant design automation tool that captures the analysis and design of systems and generates full behavioral code with intrinsic model-level debug capabilities RapidRMA™-a tool that integrates with Rhapsody™ to perform schedulability and timeliness analysis of UML models 0201699567B08142002

A Strongly Polynomial Rounding Procedure Yielding a Maximally Complementary Solution for $P_*(\kappa)$ Linear Complementarity Problems
Authors: Tibor Illés, Jiming Peng, Cornelis Roos, Tamás Terlaky
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

We deal with linear complementarity problems (LCPs) with $P_*(\kappa)$ matrices. First we establish the convergence rate of the complementary variables along the central path. The central path is parameterized by the barrier parameter $\mu$, as usual. Our elementary proof reproduces the known result that the variables on or close to the central path fall apart in three classes in which these variables are ${\cal O}(1), {\cal O}(\mu),$ and ${\cal O}(\sqrt{\mu})$, respectively. The constants hidden in these bounds are expressed in or bounded by the input data. All this is preparation for our main result: a strongly polynomial rounding procedure. Given a point with sufficiently small complementarity gap and which is close enough to the central path, the rounding procedure produces a maximally complementary solution in at most ${\cal O} (n^3)$ arithmetic operations.The result implies that interior point methods (IPMs) not only converge to a complementary solution of $P_*(\kappa)$ LCPs, but, when furnished with our rounding procedure, they can also produce a maximally complementary (exact) solution in polynomial time.

Development of a Sensor Fusion Strategy for Robotic Application Based on Geometric Optimization
Authors: G. C. Nandi, Debjani Mitra
Venue: Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems (2002)

Fusion of multi-sensor information is an important technology, which is growing exponentially due to its tremendous application potential in many areas. Effective fusion of data from sensors is very critical in increasing an intelligent system&apos;s capability to accomplish complex tasks. Appropriate fusion technologies are needed to be developed specially when a system requires redundant sensors to be used. More the redundancy in sensors, more is the computational complexity for controlling the system and more is its intelligence level. This research presents a strategy developed for multiple sensor fusion, based on geometric optimization. Each sensor&apos;s uncertainty has been modeled using classical Lagrangian optimization techniques. However, the uniqueness and effectiveness of the present technique lies on the fact that starting from the optimized value as initial estimate the accuracy of the sensory information has further been improved up to any pre defined bounded range, by developing two architectures &ndash; FFA (fission&ndash;fusion architecture) and FDD (fusion in differential domain). Sufficient evidences and analyses have been provided in the paper to show its effectiveness in various applications.

Using Java to design and test hardware circuits over a classroom network
Authors: Michael J Jipping, Steve Marlowe, Alexander Sherstov
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2002)

A crucial part of the Computer Organization course is the design and analysis of hardware circuits. To teach this part of the course efficiently and to involve the entire class in the design of circuits, we have designed the SCAN system. Starting with a textual specification of a circuit, SCAN generates Java classes that can be used to simulate the way the circuit works. These circuits can be simulated locally or can join with other circuits to simulate larger machine function over a network. This paper describes the SCAN system, the Java classes it generates, and the way we use this in the Computer Organization class.
