Literacy Theory in the Age of the Internet, 1st edition
Authors: Todd W. Taylor, Irene Ward
Venue:  (1998)

:By now it is widely accepted wisdom that the Internet has vast potential as a learning tool for students of almost all ages and levels. But it is less clear how to harness this potential most effectively. What indeed should the "online classroom" mean to teachers? Will the rush to get "wired" mean little more than enhanced visuals or automated lecture delivery--or can it result in innovative pedagogies for improving literacy into the twenty-first century?In this collection of essays, some of the most progressive voices in literacy studies reconsider what it means to be literate in the information age, and offer practical advice not only for getting networked computers into the classroom but also for instructing students and other teachers how to tap into their boundless potential. Essays range in subject from the story of a radical, communal writers' group working together in a networked environment; to an exploration of how utopian notions of the networked classroom don't always hold true, on the basis of the authors' classroom experience of hostile, dysfunctional chat room exercises; to an applied and totally attainable model for gathering support and preparing teachers for new technologies. Together the contributions provide a provocative and much-needed introduction to the constantly shifting subject of literacy theory, paving the way for continued dialogue on a subject that teachers, students, and all writers and readers can no longer afford to ignore.

Operating Systems: A Systematic View, 5th edition
Authors: William S. Davis, Shohreh S. Hashemi
Venue:  (2000)

:B> The fifth edition of Operating Systems: A Systematic View offers a practical and applied introduction to operating system concepts, aimed at people interested in using computers, operating systems, and networks. The authors take a "systematic view" of the subject, where they provide insight into what is going on beneath the surface instead of focusing so much on OS theory. The intent is to show why operating systems are needed and what, at a functional level, they do. The book features an engaging, reader-friendly presentation written at a pace and level appropriate for novices, and contains extensive illustrations to visually reinforce concepts. Readers are guided through some of today's most widely used operating systems, including Linux, UNIX, and Windows 2000. Also included is coverage of several modern topics and technologies, with chapters on the Windows interface, Intel Pentium architecture, and Windows internals, as well as a section on network operating systems with chapters on client/server networks, Windows 2000, Novell, and the Internet. This book is designed for people from non-technical fields and backgrounds who simply need to know how to interact with, rather than how to design, an operating system. It requires no background in programming and only a working knowledge of basic algebra. It will also be of interest to computer programmers, technical managers, and applied practitioners who want a practical and applied introduction to operating systems.

Essential Flash 4 for Web Professionals, 1st edition
Authors: Lynn Kyle
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:PREFACE: IntroductionThe first time I tried to create graphics with Flash, I loved it. After one week of experimenting with the program, I was convinced that it was one of the best Web development applications on the market. However, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of resources available for learning how to use it. The tutorials from Macromedia were useful, but they lacked depth. It was then that I realized that a hands-on, step-by-step book describing how to create Flash Web sites would be extremely useful to Web professionals who wanted to learn the essentials of Flash quickly and easily.Welcome to Essential Flash 4 for Web Professionals! In these pages, you'll learn how to create wonderful Flash animations and interactive activities including: Quick-loading vector graphics Impressive animations Shape morphing Buttons with actions and Web links Buttons and movies with sound and music Interactive movies Simple Web formsIn addition, we'll discuss how to optimize Flash movies for better download, detect the plug-in, and pre-load Flash. How to Use This BookThis book consists of step-by-step instructions for creating two hypothetical Web sites. First, we'll create a straight-forward Flash site for Shelley Biotech, with simple vector graphics created in Flash, basic animation, animated buttons, and buttons with sound. Then, we'll design a Web site for Stitch Fashion Journal that includes a splash screen with music and a music on/off control. You'll also learn how to create more advanced graphics and animation, an interactive dressing room, and ane-mailform.All you need to do is follow the instructions to create the sites. As you work through the steps, you'll be presented with checkpoints where you should save your work. In addition, these checkpoints will provide a URL to the book's Web site, from which you can download the project at various stages of completion. That way, if you have difficulty with portions of the project, you can access the files and learn how to accomplish specific steps. The Web site for this book is located at ...
On Automaton Recognizability of Abnormal Extremals
Authors: Ugo Boscain, Benedetto Piccoli
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

For a generic single-input planar control system $\dot x=F(x)+ u G(x),$ $x\in\mathbb{R}^2,$ $u\in [-1,1]$, $F(0)=0$, we analyze the properties of abnormal extremals for the minimum time stabilization to the origin. We prove that abnormal extremals are finite concatenations of bang arcs with switchings occurring on the set in which the vector fields F and G are collinear. Moreover, all the generic singularities of one parametric family of extremal trajectories near to abnormal extremals are studied. In particular, we prove that all possible sequences of these singularities, and hence all generic abnormal extremals, can be classified by a set of words recognizable by an automaton.

A Quadratically Convergent Infeasible-Interior-Point Algorithm for LCP with Polynomial Complexity
Authors: Rongqin Sheng, Florian A. Potra
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

A predictor--corrector algorithm is proposed for solving monotone linear complementarity problems (LCPs) from infeasible starting points. The algorithm terminates in $O(nL)$ steps either by finding a solution or by determining that the problem has no solution of norm less than a given number. The complexity of the algorithm depends on the quality of the starting point. If the problem is solvable and if a certain measure of feasibility at the starting point is small enough, then the algorithm finds a solution in $O(\sqrt{n}L)$ iterations. The algorithm requires two matrix factorizations and two backsolves per iteration. If the problem has a strictly complementary solution, then the algorithm is quadratically convergent, and, therefore, its asymptotic efficiency index is $\sqrt{2}$.

Pole Placement by Static Output Feedback for Generic Linear Systems
Authors: A. Eremenko, A. Gabrielov
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

We consider linear systems with m inputs, p outputs, and McMillan degree n such that n=mp. If both m and p are even, we show that there is a nonempty open (in the usual topology) subset U of such systems, where the real pole placement map is not surjective. It follows that, for each system in U, there exists an open set of pole configurations, symmetric with respect to the real line, which cannot be assigned by any real static output feedback.
Subjective quality assessment for multiplayer real-time games
Authors: Christian Schaefer, Thomas Enderes, Hartmut Ritter, Marina Zitterbart
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st workshop on Network and system support for games (2002)

Mean Opinion Score (MOS) tests are a well-known procedure to indicate the suitability of telecommunications equipment to provide voice services. However, converged data networks provide a variety of services, increasingly entertainment services as e.g. games. After describing the potential of games for Third Generation (3G) mobile networks, this paper establishes first guidelines to perform subjective assessment of game quality. Subsequently, an experimental study is conducted to assess the game quality of a multiplayer real-time game, XBlast, for different network conditions.
Horn clauses and the fixpoint query hierarchy
Authors: Ashok K. Chandra, David Harel
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1982)

A logic program consists of a set of Horn clauses, and can be used to express a query on relational data bases. It is shown that logic programs express precisely the queries in YE+ (the set of queries representable by a fixpoint applied to a positive existential query). Queries expressible by logic programs are thus not first order queries in general; nor are all the first order queries expressible as logic programs. A way of adding the negation operator to logic programs is suggested. The resulting set of clausal queries equals FP, the set of first order queries closed under fixpoints (as well as &not;, &or;, 3).
An open linking service supporting the authoring of web documents
Authors: Renato Bulcao Neto, Claudia Akemi Izeki, Maria da Graça Pimentel, Renata Pontin Fortes, Khai Nhut Truong
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Document engineering (2002)

Both content driven web authors and application designers may have their attention deviated from their main task when they have to be concerned with the generation of elaborated linking structures. This work aims to demonstrate how a metadata-enhanced web-based open linking service can be exploited towards supporting content driven authors in their tasks. The following results are presented in this paper: (a) the Web Linking Service (WLS), a novel open hypermedia system that stores and exchanges metadata in RDF standard syntax for hypertext structures across the wire and (b) two case studies in which applications offer to their users the ability to create linking structures upon existing contents by making use the WLS service.

Orthogonal Tensor Decompositions
Authors: Tamara G. Kolda
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

We explore the orthogonal decomposition of tensors (also known as multidimensional arrays or n-way arrays) using two different definitions of orthogonality. We present numerous examples to illustrate the difficulties in understanding such decompositions. We conclude with a counterexample to a tensor extension of the Eckart--Young SVD approximation theorem by Leibovici and Sabatier [Linear Algebra Appl., 269 (1998), pp. 307--329].
Anti-Patterns Project Management, 1st edition
Authors: William J. Brown, Hays W. McCormick, Scott W. Thomas
Venue:  (2000)

:The trusty AntiPatterns team returns with an invaluable guide to anticipating and avoiding the myriad pitfalls of project managementFrom the initial business-modeling and design/analysis to the implementation and testing phases, the management of an object-oriented project is by far the most complex and important aspect of software development-and the most error-prone. The management process is fraught with mistakes, programming defects, honest errors, and difficult people-and any single one is capable of sinking an entire project or system. In this, the third book in a bestselling series focusing on the ins and outs of AntiPatterns, the authors employ their trademark style and irreverent humor to explore every phase of project management and identify the many technical, software, and personality issues that can cause headaches. After detailed discussions of each AntiPattern, including documentation in UML 1.4 where appropriate, the book provides straightforward, guaranteed solutions using existing design patterns and other methodologies.
