The Visual C++ Handbook
Authors: Chris H. Pappas, William H. Murry
Venue:  (1994)

:Picture the programming possibilities you can explore with this comprehensive guide to Microsoft's powerful Windows and Windows NT programming environment, Visual C++. If you program - or want to program - in Visual C++, this is the book for you. Expert programmers and best-selling authors Chris Pappas and William Murray have designed a modular approach to learning Visual C++ for programmers of all levels who want to program in C/C++ and for Windows, Windows NT, and Win32. If you're a beginner, you'll start from scratch with a quick start to C and C++ programming. The book covers both languages simultaneously, pointing out the similarities and differences, and you'll learn about the integrated environment. You'll find a tutorial on the Visual C++ compiler and linker packages and get a quick look at important Visual C++ tools. If you're an experienced programmer and already know something about Visual C++, you can skip directly to the sections about Windows programming and foundations for object-oriented programming in C++. Basic Windows programming concepts, libraries, tools, and utilities are all covered in detail. You'll also learn OLE (Object Linking and Embedding), DLL (Dynamic Link Libraries), and custom control fundamentals. Most importantly, you'll find clear, comprehensive coverage of the Microsoft Foundation classes that are vital for Visual C++ mastery. If you're interested in learning to program for Windows NT, the book includes an entire section about Windows NT programming techniques. Packed with useful and detailed code examples, The Visual C++ Handbook will expand your programming skills into areas you never before imagined. Whether you need to learn everything about Visual C++ or just brush up on certain areas, this is the one book you'll turn to again and again. With it, the programming possibilities are endless!
The Complexity of Modular Graph Automorphism
Authors: V. Arvind, R. Beigel, A. Lozano
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

Motivated by the question of the relative complexities of the graph isomorphism and the graph automorphism problems, we define and study the modular graph automorphism problems. These are the decision problems modk-GA which consist, for each k > 1, of deciding whether the number of automorphisms of a graph is divisible by k. The modk-GA problems all turn out to be intermediate in difficulty between graph automorphism and graph isomorphism.We define an appropriate search problem corresponding to modk-GA and design an algorithm that polynomial-time reduces the modk-GA search problem to the decision problem. Combining this algorithm with an IP protocol, we obtain a randomized polynomial-time checker for mod$_{k}$-GA $\forall k>1$.
Search-based binding time analysis using type-directed pruning
Authors: Tim Sheard, Nathan Linger
Venue: Proceedings of the ASIAN symposium on Partial evaluation and semantics-based program manipulation (2002)

We introduce a new way of performing binding time analysis. Rather than analyzing the program using constraint solving or abstract interpretation, we use a method based on search. The search is guided by type information which significantly prunes the size of the search space, making the algorithm practical. Our claim is not that we compute new, or better information, but that we compute it in a new and novel way, which clarifies the process involved.The method is based upon a novel use of higher-order multi-stage types as a rich and expressive medium for the expression of binding-time specifications. Such types could be used as the starting point in any BTA. A goal of our work is to demonstrate that a single unified system which seamlessly integrates both manual staging and automatic BTA-based staging is possible.
Investigating upper bounds on network lifetime extension for cell-based energy conservation techniques in stationary ad hoc networks
Authors: Douglas M. Blough, Paolo Santi
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (2002)

Cooperative cell-based strategies have been recently proposed as a technique for extending the lifetime of wireless ad hoc networks, while only slightly impacting network performance. The effectiveness of this approach depends heavily on the node density: the higher it is, the more consistent energy savings can potentially be achieved. However, no general analyses of network lifetime have been done either for a base network (one without any energy conservation technique) or for one using cooperative energy conservation strategies. In this paper, we investigate the lifetime/density tradeoff under the hypothesis that nodes are distributed uniformly at random in a given region, and that the traffic is evenly distributed across the network. We also analyze the case where the node density is just sufficient to ensure that the network is connected with high probability. This analysis, which is supported by the results of extensive simulations, shows that even in this low density scenario, cell-based strategies can significantly extend network lifetime.

How to Get a Good Review
Authors: Mordechai Ben-Ari
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2000)

For several years I have been reviewing submissions for SIGCSE conferences and, unfortunately, recommending rejection of the majority of the submissions. While some undoubtedly deserved the recommendation, others described work that is potentially interesting and relevant, but the papers were so poorly written that it was impossible to judge the ideas fairly. I am writing this message to help SIGCSE members write better papers and improve their chances of acceptance.A review is like an audition: you have prepared your presentation for weeks or months, yet you only have a few minutes to convince a director (who knows nothing about you) that you are better than those appearing before or after you. The key words here are that the reviewer knows nothing about you. You may have been working on a project for months, but you only have four pages in which to "perform." You have two tasks when you write a paper. First, you must structure your paper so that your ideas and work are clearly and fully described within the page limit. Second, and more importantly, you must place your work in context so that the reviewer can decide if it is significant and relevant.

Effort estimation for corrective software maintenance
Authors: Andrea De Lucia, Eugenio Pompella, Silvio Stefanucci
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

This paper reports on an empirical study aiming at constructing cost estimation models for corrective maintenance projects. Data available were collected from five maintenance projects currently carried out by a large software enterprise. The resulting models, constructed using multivariate linear regression techniques, allow to estimate the costs of a project conducted according to the adopted maintenance processes. Model performances on future observations were achieved by taking into account different corrective maintenance task typologies, each affecting the effort in a different way, and assessed by means of a cross validation which guarantees a nearly unbiased estimate of the prediction error. The constructed models are currently adopted by the subject company.

Management Knowledge: A Critical View
Authors: Paul Griseri
Venue:  (2001)

:This book fills the gap for a text that presents a theoretically-based critique of management knowledge in an accessible form relevant to MBA students and practitioners alike. Students have to learn and digest accepted "management knowledge" and practitioners look to gurus as a source of "management knowledge" without any appreciation of how secure these ideas may be. This book will therefore be relevant to both students and practitioners in questioning how far management research actually leads to genuine knowledge of organizationsAuthor Biography: Paul Griseri is a freelance management writer who teaches at University College London.

Computer modeling and software development predicting dynamic mat formation in paper machine
Authors: Arnaud Raymond, Mohini Sain
Venue: Advances in Engineering Software (2002)

A drainage model for heterogeneous pulp suspension has been developed using a mathematical correlation between the Canadian standard freeness, the consistency, the density of the pulp, the fiber diameter and the porosity of the fiber mat deposited over the wire. The concept of tortuosity factor has been introduced in several equations describing the drainage phenomena. Introducing these parameters in mass balance equations, software was created. The model was validated based on the data from a paper mill using a blend of pulp of low freeness.
Scientific experimentation via the matching game
Authors: James B. Fenwick, Cindy Norris, James Wilkes
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2002)

In traditional computer science curricula, students view program implementation as the end product and not the means to obtaining some further result. All too often students complete an implementation at the last minute, perform a minimal amount of testing and call the assignment done! This paper discusses an approach we have taken in our courses to have students use and develop programs as part of a scientific inquiry. In addition to causing students to perform more thorough testing, our approach also improves empirical and critical thinking skills.

Quantum Hypercomputation
Authors: Tien D. Kieu
Venue: Minds and Machines (2002)

We explore the possibility of using quantum mechanical principles for hypercomputation through the consideration of a quantum algorithm for computing the Turing halting problem. The mathematical noncomputability is compensated by the measurability of the values of quantum observables and of the probability distributions for these values. Some previous no-go claims against quantum hypercomputation are then reviewed in the light of this new positive proposal.

A software environment task object-oriented design (ETOOD)
Authors: Dimitri Tabary, Mourad Abed
Venue: Journal of Systems and Software (2002)

This paper is intended to present an approach to the construction of a task model of method, named task object-oriented design (TOOD), used for the development of an interactive system. This approach is based on a formal notation, giving quantitative results which may be checked by designers and which provide the possibility of performing mathematical verifications on the models. The modeling formalism is based on the joint use of the object approach and of high-level Petri nets. The concepts borrowed from the object approach make it possible to describe the static aspect of tasks and the Petri nets enable the description of dynamics and behavior. We also describe a software aid tool for the manipulation of these models, which allow the editing of a task model. In order to facilitate comprehension of the method, a simple example of procedure used in missile firing management will be given.
