Cdo & Mapi Programming with Visual Basic: Developing Mail and Messaging Applications
Authors: Dave Grundgeiger
Venue:  (2000)

:Computers and devices are more connected now than ever before.Why? Because the humans who use those computers need to collaborate. We need to share information, and we need to do it quickly, without regard to the physical distance that separates us. Corporate solution developers now more than ever have the opportunity and responsibility to enable people to communicate in ways never before possible. CDO and MAPI Programming with Visual Basic: Developing Mail and Messaging Applications dives deep into Microsoft's Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) and the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), then moves into succinct explanations of the types of useful messaging applications that can be written in Visual Basic. Microsoft has given the Visual Basic community Collaboration Data Objects (CDO)--a technology that goes far beyond simple email, fully into the realm of information workflow. CDO enables Visual Basic applications to exchange not only classic email, but in fact any information in a straightforward and easy way. The Internet--sometimes seen as a barrier by developers--is turned into an open pipe, ready to take your application's data around the world. Routing documents and building email list servers is just the beginning. Harness the power of worldwide communication in your everyday business applications. MAPI is the cornerstone of messaging on the Windows platforms, and profoundly influences the way you will write your collaboration applications. Understanding this technology lays the foundation for adding effective collaboration capabilities to your own applications. CDO and MAPI Programming with Visual Basic: Developing Mail and Messaging Applications fills a gap in an exciting and relatively young, yet popular, technology that lacks adequate documentation.
Adobe Illustrator 3 Paths and Curves
Authors: Kenneth Batelman
Venue:  (1995)

:This book teaches readers how to construct aesthetically pleasing and technically sound curves and other paths in Adobe Illustrator, the premiere package of its kind for desktop designers and artists. Curves and paths are critical elements in today's sophisticated illustrations, and yet they also are among the most demanding components to create. Beginning with a general discussion of curves in art and nature, the book shows how high-quality curves in desktop publishing software are based on the Bezier system, which uses tangents to define the slope and direction of the path. The book details hands-on techniques for creating and managing curves and paths in Illustrator. Other topics covered include connecting curves to straight lines, connecting one curve to another, and limiting the number of points in a curve to ensure smoothness and to avoid the chances of crashing the output devices.

Scalable Linear Array Architecture with Data-Driven Control for Ultrahigh-Speed Vector Quantization
Authors: Ding-Ming Kwai, Behrooz Parhami
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2001)

Current and future requirements for adaptive real-time image compression challenge even the capabilities of highly parallel realizations in terms of hardware performance. Previously proposed linear array structures for full-search vector quantization do not offer scalability and adaptivity in this context, because they require separate data/control pins for dynamically updating the codevectors and complicated interlock mechanisms to ensure that the regular data flow is not corrupted as a result of updates. We explore the design space for full-search vector quantizers and propose a novel linear processor array architecture in which global wiring is limited to clock and power supply distribution, thus allowing high-speed processing in spite of only limited communication with the host via the boundary processors. The resulting fully pipelined design is not only area-efficient for VLSI implementation but is also readily scalable and offers extremely high performance.

A polynomial-time algorithm to approximately count contingency tables when the number of rows is constant
Authors: Mary Cryan, Martin Dyer
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

We consider the problem of counting the number of contingency tables with given row and column sums. This problem is known to be #P-complete, even when there are only two rows [7]. In this paper we present the first fully-polynomial randomized approximation scheme for counting contingency tables when the number of rows is constant. A novel feature of our algorithm is that it is a hybrid of an exact counting technique with an approximation algorithm, giving two distinct phases. In the first, the columns are partitioned into "small" and "large". We show that the number of contingency tables can be expressed as the weighted sum of a polynomial number of new instances of the problem, where each instance consists of some new row sums and the original large column sums. In the second phase, we show how to approximately count contingency tables when all the column sums are large. In this case, we show that the solution lies in approximating the volume of a single convex body, a problem which is known to be solvable in polynomial time [5].

In your own words: using full sentences as feedback
Authors: Jacob O. Wobbrock
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Many applications have cluttered dialogs that require users to make complicated settings. Some settings even determine the availability and state of other settings, creating interdependencies that can be hard to discern. Most afforadances, although they aid the use of individual widgets, provide no feedback about overall configurations. Here I present a technique for providing feedback in configuration tools using grammar-generated sentences that update instantly as the user acts. Experimental results confirm the technique has promise.
Funnel report mining for the MSN network
Authors: Teresa Mah, Hank Hoek, Ying Li
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Data mining research has long concentrated on the five main areas: clustering, association discovery, classification, forecasting and sequential patterns. Web data mining projects are concerned mainly with text mining, user segmentation, forecasting web usage and analyzing users' clickstream patterns. We present a new type of web usage mining called funnel analysis or funnel report mining. A funnel report is a study of the retention behavior among a series of pages or sites. For example, of all hits on the home page of www.msn.com, what percentages of those are followed by hits to moneycentral.msn.com? What percentage of www.msn.com hits are followed by moneycentral.msn.com, and then www.msnbc.com? What are the most interesting funnels starting with www.msn.com? Where does the greatest drop off rate occur after a user has hit MSNBC? Funnel reports are extremely useful in e-business because they give product planners an idea of how usable and well-structured their site is. From our experience performing web usage mining for the MSN network of sites, funnel reports are requested even more than user segmentation analyses, site affiliation studies and classification exercises. In this paper, we define a framework for funnel analysis and provide a tree-based solution we have been using successfully to extract all relevant funnels using only one scan of the data file.

A roadmap and vision for physical design
Authors: Andrew B. Kahng
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Physical design (2002)

This invited paper offers "roadmap and vision" for physical design. The main messages are as follows. (1) The high-level roadmap for physical design is static and well-known. (2) Basic problems remain untouched by fundamental research. (3) Academia should not overemphasize back- filling and formulation over innovation and optimization. (4) The physical design field must become more mature and efficient in how it prioritizes research directions and uses its human resources. (5) The scope of physical design must expand (up to package and system, down to manufacturing interfaces, out to novel implementation technologies, etc.), even as renewed focus is placed on basic optimization technology.
Fitting standard software to non-standard organisations
Authors: Neil Pollock, James Cornford
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper investigates the increasing trend within organisations and institutions of adopting pre-built, standardised management and administrative computer systems. The particular focus is on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the context of higher education, and the further development of university specific functionality - the 'Campus Management' (CM) module. We investigate this software as it adapted to the needs of a university in the UK (whom we are calling 'Big_Civic') and a potential global market. Drawing on ideas from the sociology of science and technology we argue that in order to understand the 'dependability' and 'fit' (we tentatively conflate these two terms) of such systems we should attempt to study their 'biographies': this is the process of describing artefacts as they move around and are adapted and redefined according to the needs of each new place.

From rewrite rules to bisimulation congruences
Authors: Peter Sewell
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

The dynamics of many calculi can be most clearly defined by a reduction semantics. To work with a calculus, however, an understanding of operational congruences is fundamental; these can often be given tractable definitions or characterisations using a labelled transition semantics. This paper considers calculi with arbitrary reduction semantics of three simple classes, firstly ground term rewriting, then left-linear term rewriting, and then a class which is essentially the action calculi lacking substantive name binding. General definitions of labelled transitions are given in each case, uniformly in the set of rewrite rules, and without requiring the prescription of additional notions of observation. They give rise to bisimulation congruences. As a test of the theory it is shown that bisimulation for a fragment of CCS is recovered. The transitions generated for a fragment of the Ambient Calculus of Cardelli and Gordon, and for SKI combinators, are also discussed briefly.

On the construction of a domain language for a class of reactive systems
Authors: Deepak Kapur, Victor L. Winter
Venue: High integrity software (2001)

A key step in the construction of high consequence software is its specification in a formal framework. In order to minimize the difficulty and potential for error, a specification should be expressed in a domain language supporting operators and structures that are intrinsic to the class of algorithms one wishes to specify. In this paper we describe a language that is suitable for the algorithmic specification of software controllers for a class of reactive systems of which the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system is an instance. We then specify an abstract controller for a subset of BART using this language.
Algorithms and Architectures: Proceedings of the 2nd NEC Research Symposium
Authors: T. Ishiguro
Venue:  (1993)

From the Book:The central subject of the Symposium was algorithms and architecture. . . . Parallelism is inevitable with respect to computers, and the most abstract mathematical theory of computation or computational complexity cannot be indifferent to the most concrete architectural design principles, and vice versa. As you will see in this volume, fruitful interaction among different specialists was realized in this symposium, which I am sure is one of its most remarkable features.
