Oracle8i DBA Handbook
Authors: Kevin Loney, Marlene Theriault
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:Whether you're an experienced DBA, a new DBA, or an application developer, you need to know how the internal structures of the ORACLE8 database work and interact. Properly managing the database's internals will allow your database to meet two goals: it wiIl work, and it wiII work well. In this book, you'll find the information you need to achieve both of these goals. The emphasis throughout is on managing the database's capabilities in an effective, efficient manner to deliver a quality product. The end result will be a database that is dependable, robust, secure, extensible, and designed to meet the objectives of the applications it supports. Several components are critical to these goals, and you'll see that all of them are covered here in depth. A well-designed logical and physical database architecture will improve performance and ease administration by properly distributing database objects. Determining the correct number and size of rollback segments will allow your database to support all of its transactions. You'll also see appropriate monitoring, security, and tuning strategies for stand-alone and networked databases. Optimal backup and recovery procedures are also provided to help ensure the database's recoverability. The focus in all of these sections is on the proper planning and management techniques for each area. You'll also find information on how to manage specific problems, such as dealing with very large databases or very high availability requirements. Networking issues and the management of distributed and client/server databases are thoroughly covered. SQL*Net (now known as Net8), networking configurations,snapshots, location transparency, and everything else you need to successfully implement a distributed or client/server database are described in detail in Part III of this book. You'll also find real-world examples and for every major configuration. In addition to the commands needed to perform DBA activities, you will also see the Oracle Enterprise Manager screens that perform similar functions. In addition to descriptions of the ORACLE8i features, you will also see sections that compare prior releases to ORACLE8i, to facilitate your migration path. "Solutions" sections throughout the book offer common solutions to the most frequently encountered problems. By following the techniques in this book, you'll no longer have to worry about disasters striking your databases. Your systems can be designed and implemented so well that tuning efforts will be minimal. Administering the database will become easier as the users get a better product, while the database works-and works well.
Convexity in Hamilton--Jacobi Theory II: Envelope Representations
Authors: R. Tyrrell Rockafellar, Peter R. Wolenski
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

Upper and lower envelope representations are developed for value functions associated with problems of optimal control and the calculus of variations that are fully convex, in the sense of exhibiting convexity in both the state and the velocity. Such convexity is used in dualizing the upper envelope representations to get the lower ones, which have advantages not previously perceived in such generality and in some situations can be regarded as furnishing, at least for value functions, extended Hopf--Lax formulas that operate beyond the case of state-independent Hamiltonians.The derivation of the lower envelope representations centers on a new function called the dualizing kernel, which propagates the Legendre--Fenchel envelope formula of convex analysis through the underlying dynamics. This kernel is shown to be characterized by a kind of double Hamilton--Jacobi equation and, despite overall nonsmoothness, to be smooth with respect to time and concave-convex in the primal and dual states. It furnishes a means whereby, in principle, value functions and their subgradients can be determined through optimization without having to deal with a separate, and typically much less favorable, Hamilton--Jacobi equation for each choice of the initial or terminal cost data.

How Close Can the Logarithmic Norm of a Matrix Pencil Come to the Spectral Abscissa?
Authors: Inmaculada Higueras, Berta Garcia-Celayeta
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

Given a least upper bound norm, the usefulness of the concept of logarithmic norm depends on how closely the logarithmic norm approximates the spectral abscissa. To study this problem, Ström introduced in 1975 the concepts of logarithmically optimal norm and $\varepsilon$-logarithmically optimal norm with respect to a matrix A. Recently Higueras and Garcia-Celayeta have done an extension of the concept of logarithmic norm for matrix pencils and, in a similar way, the usefulness of the concept depends on how closely the logarithmic norm of the pencil approximates the spectral abscissa. In this paper we study this problem and extend the concepts by Ström to matrix pencils.

Indefinite Stochastic Linear Quadratic Control and Generalized Differential Riccati Equation
Authors: M. Ait Rami, J. B. Moore, Xun Yu Zhou
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

A stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) control problem is indefinite when the cost weighting matrices for the state and the control are allowed to be indefinite. Indefinite stochastic LQ theory has been extensively developed and has found interesting applications in finance. However, there remains an outstanding open problem, which is to identify an appropriate Riccati-type equation whose solvability is {\it equivalent} to the solvability of the indefinite stochastic LQ problem. This paper solves this open problem for LQ control in a finite time horizon. A new type of differential Riccati equation, called the generalized (differential) Riccati equation, is introduced, which involves algebraic equality/inequality constraints and a matrix pseudoinverse. It is then shown that the solvability of the generalized Riccati equation is not only sufficient, but also necessary, for the well-posedness of the indefinite LQ problem and the existence of optimal feedback/open-loop controls. Moreover, all of the optimal controls can be identified via the solution to the Riccati equation. An example is presented to illustrate the theory developed.
Stability of Locally Optimal Solutions
Authors: A. B. Levy, R. A. Poliquin, R. T. Rockafellar
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the Lipschitzian stability of local solutions to finite-dimensional parameterized optimization problems in a very general setting. Properties of prox-regularity of the essential objective function and positive definiteness of its coderivative Hessian are the keys to these results. A previous characterization of tilt stability arises as a special case.

Applying approximate order dependency to reduce indexing space
Authors: Jirun Dong, Richard Hull
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

The recently introduced notion of order dependency in the relational model is generalized to include situations where order dependency is satisfied in an approximate way. Two fundamental types of approximate satisfaction are distinguished and analyzed. It is shown for both types that such approximate satisfaction of order dependencies can be applied to substantially reduce indexing space without significantly increasing access time.

Assessment of software architectures: a case study
Authors: A. Fresa, G. Nucera, E. Peciola, G. Santucci
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Producing high quality software is a very hard task. In the last years a big effort has been spent in devising techniques for estimating and/or measuring software properties. This ranges from forecasting, in a very early stage, the cost of software production to measuring several subcharacterics in order to assess the internal and external software quality. The role of predicting vs. measuring is gaining an increas ing relevance. As an example, the recently revised ISO 9126 standard [1] introduces the concept of Estimated (Predicted) Product Quality. It is clear that the sooner estimated figures are available, the better is possible to modify some design choices. Among all the aspects involved in software developing, a central role is played by the chosen software architecture. Estimating the quality characteristics of such architecture is a strategic activity that can drive several following design decision. In this paper we report the experience of an architectural assessment performed in Ericsson Lab Italy. The assessment was performed according to the framework presented by Jan Bosch in [2].
