Data Structures and Problem Solving with C++, 2nd edition
Authors: Mark Allen Weiss
Venue:  (1999)

:The most unique aspect of this text is the clear separation of the interface and implementation. C++ allows the programmer to write the interface and implementation separately, to place them in separate files and compile separately, and to hide the implementation details. This book goes a step further: the interface and implementation are discussed in separate parts of the book. Part I (Objects and C++), Part II (Algorithms and Building Blocks), and Part III (Applications) lay the groundwork by discussing basic concepts and tools and providing some practical examples, but implementation of data structures is not shown until Part IV (Implementations). This separation of interface and implementation promotes abstract thinking. Class interfaces are written and used before the implementation is known, forcing the reader to think about the functionality and potential efficiency of the various data structures (e.g., hash tables are written well before the hash table is implemented). Throughout the book, Weiss has included the latest features of the C++ programming language, including a more prevalent use of the Standard Template Library (STL). Features Promotes abstract thinking by separating the interface and implementation of the data structures into different parts of the book All code is completely rewritten and tested for compatibility with a wide range of current compilers Revised material makes use of the STL whenever appropriate Rewritten material on inheritance simplifies the initial presentation and provides the C++ details that are important for advanced uses Includes a new chapter on Patterns Provides new material ontemplates, vectors, and push_back Illustrates both the generic interfaces and STL interfaces of data structures Generic data structures such as linked lists classes, search tree and hash table classes, priority_queue, and disjoint sets class are rewritten to be much simpler and cleaner A simplified STL implementation is illustrated at the end of the chapters in Part IV, including vector, list, stack, queue, set, map, and priority_queue
Incident response
Venue:  (2001)

Incident Response combines technical informaiton with guidelines for administrative planning so that organizations can map out their responses to computer incidents. The authors show how the incident response process needs to be as planned, efficient, and business-like as any other IT operation in a mature organization. Crises happen, and being able to response to them efficiently makes good business sense.
Extra Life: Coming of Age in Cyberspace
Authors: David S. Bennahum
Venue:  (1999)

:Today's digital culture traces its roots to the 1980s, when the first computer generation came of age. These original techno-kids grew up with home-brew programs, secret computer access codes, and arcades where dedicated video gamers fought to extend their play by earning "extra life." In that era of gleeful discovery, driven by a sense of adventure and a surge of power, kids found a world they could master, one few grownups could understand. In this fast-paced real-life tale set in the bedrooms, computer rooms, and video arcades of the 80s, popular media chronicler David S. Bennahum takes readers back to his initiation into this electronic universe, to his discovery of PONG at age five. We follow him from video-game addiction - his Bar Mitzvah gift was an Atari 800 with 48K of RAM - to his ascent to master programmer with the coveted title of "Super User" in his high school's computer room. Bennahum reflects on how computers empowered him and his friends to create a world of their own. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Applying cartoon animation techniques to graphical user interfaces
Authors: Bruce H. Thomas, Paul Calder
Venue: ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) (2001)

If judiciously applied, animation techniques can enhance the look and feel of computer applications that present a graphical human interface. Such techniques can smooth the rough edges and abrupt transitions common in many current graphical interfaces, and strengthen the illusion of direct manipulation that many interfaces strive to present. To date, few applications include such animation techniques. One possible reason is that animated interfaces are difficult to implement: they are difficult to design, place great burdens on programmers, and demand high-performance from underlying graphics systems.This article describes how direct manipulation human computer interfaces can be augmented with techniques borrowed from cartoon animators. In particular, we wish to improve the visual feedback of a direct manipulation interface by smoothing the changes of an interface, giving manipulated objects a feeling of substance and providing cues that anticipate the result of a manipulation. Our approach is to add support for animation techniques such as object distortion and keyframe interpolation, and to provide prepackaged animation effects such as animated widgets for common user interface interactions.To determine if these tools and techniques are practical and effective, we built a prototype direct manipulation drawing editor with an animated interface and used the prototype editor to carry out a set of human factors experiments. The experiments show that the techniques are practical even on standard workstation hardware, and that the effects can indeed enhance direct manipulation interfaces.

An optimal strategy for sellers in an online auction
Authors: Xin Guo
Venue: ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT) (2002)

We consider an online auction setting where the seller attempts to sell an item. Bids arrive over time and the seller has to make an instant decision to either accept this bid and close the auction or reject it and move on to the next bid, with the hope of higher gains. What should be the seller's strategy to maximize gains? Using techniques from convex analysis, we provide an explicit closed-form optimal solution (and hence a simple optimum online algorithm) for the seller.Our methodology is attractive to online auction systems that have to make an instant decision, especially when it is not humanly possible to evaluate each bid individually, when the number of bids is large or unknown ahead of time, and when the bidders are unwilling to wait.
Indirect-collective referencing (ICR) in the elite journal literature of physics II: a literature study on the level of communications
Authors: Endre Száva-Kováts
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

In the author's three previous articles dealing with the ICR phenomenon (JASIS, 49, [1998], 477-481; 50, [1999], 1284-1294; JASIST, 52, [2001], 201-211) the nature, life course, and importance of this phenomenon of scientific literature was demonstrated. It was shown that the quantity of nonindexed indirect-collective references in The Physical Review now alone exceeds many times over the quantity of formal references listed in the Science Citation Index as citations. It was shown that the ICR phenomenon is present in all the 44 elite physics journals of a representative sample of this literature. The bibliometrically very heterogeneous sample is very homogeneous regarding the presence and frequency of the ICR phenomenon. However, no real connection could be found between the simple degree of documentedness and the presence and frequency of the ICR phenomenon on the journal level of the sample. The present article reports the findings of the latest ICR investigation carried out on the level of communications of the representative sample. Correlation calculations were carried out in the stock of all 458 communications containing the ICR phenomenon as a statistical population, and within this population also in the groups of communications of the normal and the letter journals, and the short communications. The correlation analysis did not find notable statistical correlation between the simple and specific degree of documentedness of a communication and the number of works cited in it by ICR act(s) either in the total population or in the selected groups. There is no correlation either statistical or real (i.e., cause-and-effect) between the documentedness of scientific communications made by their authors and the presence and intensity of the ICR method used by their authors. However, in reality there exists a very strong connection between these two statistically independent variables: both depend on the referencing author, on his/her subjectivity and barely limited subjective free will. This subjective free will shapes the stock of the formal-direct references of scientific communications, thereby placing the achievements cited in this way and their creators into the (indexed) showcase of present Big Science. The same free will decides on the use or nonuse of the ICR method, and in the case of use also on the intensity with which the method is used.

Hidden Markov Models with Spectral Features for 2D Shape Recognition
Authors: Jinhai Cai, Zhi-Qiang Liu
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2001)

In this paper, we present a technique using Markov models with spectral features for recognizing 2D shapes. We will analyze the properties of Fourier spectral features derived from closed contours of 2D shapes and use these features for 2D pattern recognition. We develop algorithms for reestimating parameters of hidden Markov models. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our models, we have tested our methods on two image databases: hand-tools and unconstrained handwritten numerals. We are able to achieve high recognition rates of 99.4 percent and 96.7 percent without rejection on these two sets of image data, respectively.
