ENIAC: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the World's First Computer
Authors: Scott McCartney
Venue:  (1999)

:For all his genius, John Von Neumann is not, as he is often credited, the true father of the modern computer. That honor belongs to two men, John Mauchly and Presper Eckert, who designed and built the first digital, electronic computer. The story of their three-year race to create the legendary ENIAC and their three-decade struggle to gain credit for it has never been told and is a compelling tale of brilliance and misfortune. Mauchly and Eckert met by chance in 1941 at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Engineering. They soon developed a revolutionary vision: to use electricity as a means of computing--in other words, to make electricity "think." Ignored by their colleagues, in early 1943 they were fortuitously discovered and funded by the U.S. Army, itself in urgent need of a machine that could quickly calculate ballistic missile trajectories in wartime Europe and Africa. As Scott McCartney chronicles in memorable detail, the team they led constructed a behemoth that occupied 1,800 square feet and weighed 30 tons. They overcame problems as banal as finding wire that rats wouldn't eat and as complex as linking the 18,000 vacuum tubes that powered their machine. Today ENIACs entire capacity would sit on an integrated circuit the size of a lapel pin, yet without ENIAC, such technological advancements might not have occurred. In the wake of their triumph, Mauchly and Eckert would be shadowed by personal tragedies and professional setbacks that are as absorbing as their invention is fascinating. They built the famous UNIVAC machine and formed the world's first computer company, only to be outflanked and outfinanced by IBM and other emerging competitors. They filed a patent on ENIAC and would spend the next twenty-five years defending their inventions against a host of claims. Based on original interviews with surviving participants and the first study of Mauchly's and Eckert's personal papers, ENIAC is a vital contribution to the history of technology. Even in today's rough-and-tumble, high-tech world, it remains a stunning cautionary tale. Scott McCartney is a staff writer for the Wall Street Journal. He is the author of Defying the Gods: Inside the New Frontiers of Organ Transplants and coauthor of Trinity's Children: Living Along America's Nuclear Highway. He lives in Dallas, Texas.

Cross-cultural user-interface design for work, home, play, and on the way
Authors: Aaron Marcus
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

User interface design requires good visual design of metaphors, mental models, navigation, appearance, and interaction to represent data, functions, tasks, roles, organizations, and people. Techniques of simplicity, clarity, and consistency can improve the communication effectiveness of user interfaces for the Web, mobile devices and information appliances, and performance (productivity) tools. In particular, the use of appropriate typography, layout, color, animation, and symbolism can assist developers to achieve more efficient, effective communication to more diverse user communities.
Delivering MPEG-4 Based Audio-Visual Services
Authors: Hari Kalva
Venue:  (2000)

:Delivering MPEG-4 Based Audio-Visual Services investigates the different aspects of end-to-end multimedia services; content creation, server and service provider, network, and the end-user terminal. Part I provides a comprehensive introduction to digital video communications, MPEG standards, and technologies, and deals with system level issues including standardization and interoperability, user interaction, and the design of a distributed video server. Part II investigates the systems in the context of object-based multimedia services and presents a design for an object-based audio-visual terminal, some of these features having been adopted by the MPEG-4 Systems specification. The book goes on to study the requirements for a file format to represent object-based audio-visual content and the design of one such format. The design introduces new concepts such as direct streaming that are essential for scalable servers. The final part of the book examines the delivery of object-based multimedia presentations and gives optimal algorithms for multiplex-scheduling of object-based audio-visual presentations, showing that the audio-visual object scheduling problem is NP-complete in the strong sense. The problem of scheduling audio-visual objects is similar to the problem of sequencing jobs on a single machine. The book compares these problems and adapts job-sequencing results to audio-visual object scheduling, and provides optimal algorithms for scheduling presentations under resource constraints, such as bandwidth (network constraints) and buffer (terminal constraints). In addition, the book presents algorithms that minimize the resources required for scheduling presentations and the auxiliary capacity required to support interactivity in object-based audio-visual presentations. Delivering MPEG-4 Based Audio-Visual Services is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in the areas of multimedia systems engineering and multimedia computing, network professionals, service providers, and all scientists and technical managers interested in the most up-to-date MPEG standards and technologies.

Fuzzy logic: mathematical tools for approximate reasoning
Authors: Giangiacomo Gerla
Venue: Trends Of Logic Series; Vol. 11th (2001)

The theme of this book is fuzzy logic in a narrow sense, a promising new chapter of formal logic. The basic ideas of formal logic were formulated by Lotfi Zadeh in 1975. The aim of this logic is to investigate the wonderful human capacity of reasoning with vague notions by attempting to formalize the "approximate reasoning" we use in everyday life. A peculiarity of this book is to propose a general framework based on three mathematical tools: the theory of fuzzy closure operators, an extension principle for crisp logics and the theory of recursively enumerable fuzzy subsets. This book is unique in that it treats fuzzy logics which are not truth-functional in nature (as an example, the logic of the necessities, probabilistic logics and similarity-based logics). The book is addressed to people interested in artificial intelligence, fuzzy control, formal logic, and philosophy. It can be used in special post-graduate university studies and in advanced courses. The book is completely self-contained.

Dimensional modeling for a data warehouse
Authors: Ashiss Kumar Dash, Rakesh Agarwal
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

A multidimensional database stores data as groups of field category values into dimensions, and then groups these dimensions into multidimensional arrays. Specific field category values that may occur in data identify either the rows or columns of array dimensions. The specific grouped field categories themselves identify the row or column array dimensions. This view, when presented to the end user, bring in more relevance and business sense for practical decision making than the views presented by standard relational tables and flat file databases. On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) is based on the multidimensional representation of data which is supported by multidimensional databases, relational engines or a combination of both. In this paper we propose a model for multidimensional databases that we had used and implemented.

Java for Practitioners: An Introduction and Reference to Java and Object Orientation, 1st edition
Authors: John Hunt
Venue:  (1999)

:Java for Practitioners doesn't just provide an introduction to Java, it also tells you all about object orientation. One of the biggest problems with many of the Java books currently on the market is that they only teach the language and ignore the object orientation aspects (or at best devote one chapter to it). It is really just not possible to move from languages such as C and Pascal to Java without also moving to object orientation. Not only does John Hunt cover both Java and object orientation thoroughly but he also realises that practitioners learn best by 'doing' and he writes this book to reflect that.
