Job Shock: How You Can Prosper during the Work Revolution Ahead
Authors: Harry S. Dent,  Jr.
Venue:  (1995)

:American companies are experiencing a fundamental change. Massive layoffs, plant closings, cost cutting, and benefit slashing have created a climate of fear. From CEOs to middle managers to salespeople to factory workers to order-entry processors, employees at every level wonder, What will happen to my job? Do I have any security? Where have all the old rules gone? Job Shock describes the brave new world of work - a full-scale revolution that is changing the American economy from top to bottom. The early symptoms of this revolution maybe unsettling, but the future is overwhelmingly positive: a world where technologies empower the individual worker, bringing exciting opportunities and creativity to every career and destroying the rigid corporate structure that has ruled for more than a century. In this book, economic forecaster and best-selling author Harry Dent offers bold predictions about the next ten years and sound advice on how you can prepare.
Explaining updates by minimal sums
Authors: Karl Schlechta, Jürgen Dix
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

Human reasoning about developments of the world involves always an assumption of inertia. We discuss two approaches for formalizing such an assumption, based on the concept of an explanation: (1) there is a general preference relation given on the set of all explanations and (2) there is a notion of a distance between models and explanations are preferred if their sum of distances is minimal. Each distance dist naturally induces a preference relation dist. We show exactly under which conditions the converse is true as well and therefore both approaches are equivalent modulo these conditions. Our main result is a general representation theorem in the spirit of Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor. Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
Outlook 2000 VBA Programmer's Reference, 1st edition
Authors: Dwayne Gifford
Venue:  (1999)

:Outlook 2000 is an important part of the Office 2000 program suite, and will be available in the Premium, Professional, Standard and Small Business editions of Office 2000. At present, most people use Outlook for sending and receiving emails and little else, however, Outlook 2000 is set to become a very powerful organizational tool. Outlook 2000 now hosts VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and hence there is a strong emphasis on between-application automation, Using VBA, the user can program his or her own programs in what is essentially a subset of the Visual Basic programming languages. This is neat because it allows you to automate a lot of mailing and calendaring tasks that would otherwise take up a lot of time - one press of a button could take names from an Access database, write a letter in Word addressed to each individual, and then email all the letters at once. This book presents a full reference to the Outlook object model - which is essentially the object-oriented system of organizing the functional capacities that make up the Outlook program. There will be a short introduction to VBA itself, and the rest of the book will document aspects of programming Outlook through that object model. This book will be in three broad sections: the first part introduces Outlook and VBA; the second offers interesting, thematic discussions of the workings of the Outlook 2000. The third and final part offers a full reference to the Outlook object model.
Color image enhancement
Authors: Kuei-Chun Chen
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

Color image enhancement is becoming an increasingly important research area. This paper reviews some image enhancement techniques developed specifically for gray-images and presents an extension and application to color images of a method that involves the decomposition of an image into background and texture components. A new image can be produced by applying multiplicative weights to the different components to bring out the texture. Desired color shifts can also be achieved by experimenting with the weights.

Hidden capabilities: towards a flexible protection utility for the internet
Authors: D. Hagimont, J. Mossière, Cliff W. Hemming,  Jr.
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Systems support for worldwide applications (1996)

This paper presents a protection model based on software capabilities. Its main advantage is that capabilities are hidden from the application programmer, allowing the protection policy of an application to be defined independently from the application code. This is very interesting for protecting an already developed application.Our claim is that this protection model is well suited for a wide range of environments, from clusters of tightly coupled servers to large loosely coupled servers on the Internet. It is particularly interesting when applications are built by assembling many existing pieces of code into a single application.We argue our claim by describing our model and its integration in three different environments: a DSM (Distributed Shared Memory )system [P&eacute;rez 95], CORBA (Common Request Broker Architecture) [OMG 91] and the Java programming environment [Java 95].The rest of the paper is structured as follows. In section 2, we provide an overview of our protection model based on hidden software capabilities. Section 3 discusses the integration of this model in a DSM system, an ORB and the Java environment. We conclude in section 4.

Temporal and spatial level of details for dynamic meshes
Authors: Ariel Shamir, Valerio Pascucci
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2001)

Multi-resolution techniques enhance the ability of graphics and visual systems to overcome limitations in time, space and transmission costs. Numerous techniques have been presented which concentrate on creating level of detail models for static meshes. Time-dependent deformable meshes impose even greater difficulties on such systems. In this paper we describe a solution for using level of details for time dependent meshes. Our solution allows for both temporal and spatial level of details to be combined in an efficient manner. By separating low and high frequency temporal information, we gain the ability to create very fast coarse updates in the temporal dimension, which can be adaptively refined for greater details.
Exact learning of DNF formulas using DNF hypotheses
Authors: Lisa Hellerstein, Vijay Raghavan
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) We show the following: <ol> For any &egr; &rho; 0, (log n)(3 + &egr;)-term DNF cannot be polynomial-query learned with membership and strongly proper equivalence queries. For any function f(n) &egr; o [box] (&frac;&radic;n \over log n) [end-box] , m-term DNF formulas cannot be polynomial-query learned by a membership and equivalence query algorithm that uses m &dotfill; f(n)-term DNF formulas as hypotheses. Read-thrice DNF formulas are not learnable with membership and proper equivalence queries. log n-term DNF formulas can be polynomial-query learned with membership and proper equivalence queries. (This complements a result of Bshouty, Goldman, Hancock, and Matar stating that [box] &radic;log n [end-box] -term DNF can be so learned in polynomial time. </ol>.Using purely information theoretic techniques, these results extend and improve what is currently known. (For example, a weaker version of (a) was known only under a barely plausible complexity theoretic assumption, (b) was previously unknown, and (c) was known under the assumption P &Dagger; NP.)

Authors: Ivor Horton
Venue:  (2000)

:A second edition Beginning Java title is now required because: In quarter one, 2000, Sun will release version 1.3 of their Java Developers Kit (JDK 1.3). This is significant because: The fastest Java platform performance ever is now available for download, and is coming to your mailbox from America Online (AOL), thanks to an agreement between Sun and AOL to deliver the Java Runtime Environment on the AOL 5.0 CD-ROM. The newest version of J2SE technology, v 1.3, will deliver momentous performance gains and improved Web deployment for enterprise-grade, client-side applications. And just about everything else developers have been asking for: Client-side users now enjoy the speed advantage of the new Java HotSpot compiler which has been tuned for client performance. The result is much faster thread handling, improved scalability and rapid memory allocation for objects, smaller RAM footprint, and the platform has gained a much more efficient garbage collector. All of these enhancements spell speed for the desktop user. For Graphical User Interface (GUI) performance, the Java Foundation Classes and Swing libraries have been super-tuned to enhance scrolling speed. The GUI components that developers use to create tables and frames for their applications have also been improved. Online discussion of the topics in this book available at Wrox's P2P site. This book is a fast paced and comprehensive tutorial introduction to application development using Java. It is ideal for novice Java programmers who have some previous programming exposure and are able to run with the fast pace. Almost all new entrants to Java are coming from previous programming experience. About the Author: After countless years in the computer industry both doing and managing, Ivor has taken up writing on programming topics for relaxation.

Basic Processes of Chinese Character Based on Cubic B-Spline Wavelet Transform
Authors: Yuan Y. Tang, Feng Yang, Jiming Liu
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2001)

In this paper, a novel approach based on cubic B-spline wavelet transform is proposed to process Chinese character including character compression, type zooming-in, and typeface composition. The basic idea is that a Chinese character is described by its contours which are represented by cubic B-spline functions, and each contour is decomposed into the details or the control points (wavelet coefficients) at different resolution levels. For character compression, there are two methods, one directly treats the details of wavelet coefficients and the other considers the subcurves piecing together at the different resolution levels. In the type zooming-in, the wavelet reconstruction is used to scale the Chinese character with arbitrary size and the wavelet filter is used to improve the quality of the enlarged type. For typeface composition, the new style typefaces of Chinese character are obtained by editing and modifying the details at different resolution levels. The concrete algorithms are also given in this paper as well as the experimental results.

Informing automatic generation of remote control interfaces with human designs
Authors: Jeffrey Nichols
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Embedded processors are making it possible for common appliances, such as cable boxes, micorwaves, and fax machines, to provide even more fuctionality. Unfortunately, as these appliances become more complex, their interfaces are also becoming harder to use. At the same time, more people are carrying hand-held computerized devices that can communicate. We envision a future in which people will use their handhelds to communicate with and control common appliances in their environment. This work describes the design of a specification language and the construction of an automatic interface generator, using lessons learned from analyzing manually created interfaces.
