Evolution of the writer's role
Authors: Luc Chamberland
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

This paper discusses how the organization of technical writers vis-&agrave;-vis programmers significantly influences the effectiveness of the writer as user advocate. A writer can be treated as a peer to developers, but only if the writer understands the technology they're writing about and helps to improve the product's ease-of-use. This can be achieved more easily in an environment where writers are more closely aligned organizationally with developers.

The Manager's Pocket Guide to eCommunication -- Communicating Effectively in a Digital Age
Authors: Laurie K. Benson
Venue:  (2000)

:E-mail, voice mail, and conference calls have revolutionized how we communicate in corporate America and around the globe. In today's fast-paced business environment, companies are dependent on technology to link personnel and personnel to clients across cities, states, and countries, especially as virtual teams become a greater part of our business environment. Yet, companies rarely provide formal training on how to effectively manage communications through these resources. As technology progresses, travel costs increase, teams become more virtual, and there are less face-to-face meetings, it has become more critical to use the new and existing technologies for communicating with, building, and managing virtual teams. This book shares key lessons about communicating more effectively in our eEnvironment and using the tools that we have to build business relationships and teams without the luxury of sharing the same office.

On the Inherent Space Complexity of Fast Parallel Multipliers for GF(2/supm/)
Authors: Michele Elia, Manuel Leone
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

A lower bound to the number of AND gates used in parallel multipliers for $GF(2/supm/)$, under the condition that time complexity be minimum, is determined. In particular, the exact minimum number of AND gates for Primitive Normal Bases and Optimal Normal Bases of Type II multipliers is evaluated. This result indirectly suggests that space complexity is essentially a quadratic function of $m$ when time complexity is kept minimum.

Automatic repairing of web wrappers
Authors: Boris Chidlovskii
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Web information and data management (2001)

We study the problem of automatic repairing of wrappers for Web information providers. Majority of Web wrappers use "hooks'' or "landmarks'' to find and extract relevant information from Web pages and such wrappers often become inoperable when the page structure is changed. The solution we propose in this paper extends conventional forward wrappers with alternative classifiers built using content features of extracted information and wrappers processing pages backward. We report some preliminary results of the information extraction recovery and wrapper repairing for a set of real Web provider changes.
Functioning without closure: type-safe customized function representations for standard ML
Authors: Allyn Dimock, Ian Westmacott, Robert Muller, Franklyn Turbak, J. B. Wells
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2001)

The CIL compiler for core Standard ML compiles whole ML programs using a novel typed intermediate language that supports the generation of type-safe customized data representations. In this paper, we present empirical data comparing the relative efficacy of several different flow-based customization strategies for function representations. We develop a cost model to interpret dynamic counts of operations required for each strategy. In this cost model, customizing the representation of closed functions gives a 12-17% improvement on average over uniform closure representations, depending on the layout of the closure. We also present data on the relative effectiveness of various strategies for reducing representation pollution, i.e., situations where flow constraints require the representation of a value to be less efficient than it would be in ideal circumstances. For the benchmarks tested and the types of representation pollution detected by our compiler, the pollution removal strategies we consider often cost more in overhead than they gain via enabled customizations. Notable exceptions are selective defunctionalization, a function representation strategy that often achieves significant customization benefits via aggressive pollution removal, and a simple form of flow-directed inlining, in which pollution removal allows multiple functions to be inlined at the same call site.

The Dictionary of Standard C
Authors: Rex Jaeschke
Venue:  (1995)

From the Book:PREFACE: Preface There are many C books on the market, covering a broad range of applications and platforms, and each comes with some form of cross-reference index. However, the art of indexing a book is quite specialized and, as such, is often done by someone who is not intimately familiar with the book's subject matter. Also, the index of any given book is obviously limited to the subject matter covered in that book. A book on data structures in C, for example, is unlikely to have an index entry for the standard date and time functions. Many C programmers accumulate more than a few C books during their careers. Of course, none of these books can be all things to all people. Therefore, to research a number of specific terms, the reader may have to scan through the indexes of five or six books to find the relevant information. And in the case of more advanced topics (such as lvalues and sequence points), index entries may be missing altogether. This is where this dictionary becomes useful. Organized in alphabetical order, it allows terms to be found quickly and easily. The format provides for a relatively concise definition, in some cases with a small amount of tutorial material. And, of course, there is extensive cross-referencing to other entries. Intended Audience This book is suitable for C programmers at all levels. Because it does not deal with extensions, it is not aimed at any particular kind of application or set of platforms. It is generic and is applicable to anyone working with C using any mainstream implementation of C. Limits of this Dictionary This book is intended as an alphabetizedquickreference guide to C. It is not an encyclopedia nor is it intended to replace the C standard or your implementation's documentation. (For information on obtaining a paper or electronic copy of the C standard refer to www.iso.ch or www.ansi.org.) Acknowledgments Some thanks are in order: To Dennis Ritchie for creating the C language; to Brian Kernighan for so eloquently writing about C, thereby helping to bootstrap a generation of C programmers; to Jim Brodie, Tom Plum, and P.J. Plauger for so ably steering the original C standards committee, X3J11; to Larry Rosler, David Prosser, Frank Farance, and Larry Jones for their excellent work on editing the C standard; to Randy Hudson and Bill Seymour for editing the Rationale manual; and to all my colleagues on the committees X3J11, NCEG, X3J11.1, J11, and WG14 who have assisted in my numerous C ventures. Many thanks also go to the reviewers of various drafts of this book: Nelson Beebe, Jim Brodie, Tom MacDonald, Randy Meyers, Tom Plum, Fred Tydeman, and Douglas Walls whose suggestions contributed greatly to the quality of this book. Finally, thanks to Donald Knuth for his typesetting system TJ&X, and to Leslie Lamport for his Latex macro package with which this book was prepared.

Upgrading Relational Databases with Objects
Authors: Robert Vermeulen
Venue:  (1996)

:Upgrading Relational Databases with Objects presents a clear-headed overview of how to use object-oriented (OO) technology to improve existing relational databases. This practical how-to guide starts with the basics of OO and works its way up to examples and what-if scenarios that illustrate how OO technology is, should be and should not be integrated with relational databases. It draws a keen distinction between applications that can be best performed with each technology. The book describes such object technologies as OLE and CORBA and what their impacts will be on relational database connectivity and provides a brief tutorial on relational and object concepts, then it moves on to advanced object/relational, SQL3, OO database technology and the Internet.

Weighted Voronoi stippling
Authors: Adrian Secord
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (2002)

The traditional artistic technique of stippling places small dots of ink onto paper such that their density give the impression of tone. The artist tightly controls the relative placement of the stipples on the paper to produce even tones and avoid artifacts, leading to long creation times for the drawings.We present two non-interactive techniques for generating stipple drawings from grayscale images using weighted centroidal Voronoi diagrams. An iterative technique acts on input images directly to produce high-quality stipple drawings and a real-time approach uses precomputed dot distributions to stipple images quickly.
