Object Oriented Programming with Windows NT and 95
Authors: Stephen Morris
Venue:  (1997)

:The book describes fundamental object-oriented programming methods and explains how readers may apply them within the Windows 95 (and 98) and Windows NT environments using three leading programming tools - Microsoft Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Borland Delphi. Readers will understand how traditional object-oriented principles and techniques correspond to the characteristics of modern operating environments and how OOP approaches can help them more efficiently create genuinely user-friendly applications. The book describes from an object perspective many important Windows programming components and tasks, including: windows and dialog boxes, ActiveX and other controls, menus, event handling, graphics, file access, on-line help, and OLE (object linking and embedding). Objected-Oriented Programming for Windows 95 and NT will help both beginning and experienced Windows developers bolster their programming arsenal and can help any developer make the transition from traditional, non-object environments to object-oriented programming methods.

Using an on-line dictionary to extract a list of sense-disambiguated synonyms
Authors: G. Jan Wilms
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

The feasibility of extracting both explicit and implicit synonym references from a machine readable dictionary is investigated; the extracted synonyms, both symmetric and asymmetric, are then sense-disambiguated. At the same time lemma numbers and unbound parts-of-speech of synonyms become instantiated. The dictionary source is also a resource for parsing the definitions, but its comprehensiveness is often a mixed blessing as a disambiguation tool.
A real time transport scheme for wireless multimedia communications
Authors: Jon Chiung-Shien Wu
Venue: Mobile Networks and Applications (2001)

In wireless communications systems, a mobile station is typically equipped with limited processing capability and buffer space for transmitting and receiving. The radio link is usually found to be noisy and its propagation delay is sometimes non-negligible as compared with the packet transmission delay. And because of the necessity of flow control and packet retransmission upon error, the delay and throughput performance cannot satisfy the need of a particular traffic type, i.e., real-time multimedia. This paper presents a scheme suitable for the above condition, called the Burst-oriented Transfer with Time-bounded Retransmission (BTTR). The present scheme uses a large transmission window for sending/receiving a burst of time-sensitive data and, within this window, another smaller observation window is repeatedly used for error status feedback via the backward channel. There is time limitation on each retransmission such that the burst of data can be received in a timely manner, however, with some degradation on the packet loss rate. An analysis is given in terms of the expectations of delay, throughput, and packet drop rate. A comparison with an error-free link protocol will also be given. The result shows that the proposed scheme can meet the delay and throughput requirement under reasonable packet drop rate.

Collection of network information in active networks
Authors: Yuhong Li, Lars Wolf
Venue: ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2001)

Collection of information about the state of the network is very important for applications both in active networks and in traditional passive networks. However, the existing methods for the collection and prediction of network state cannot meet the needs of complex and intelligent applications. Active networks provide an environment that supports the injection and execution of application-specified codes in the network nodes, and consequently suggest possibilities for the solving of such a problem. In this article we present a new method for the collection of network state information by describing how active network techniques can be used to collect this information more freely and in a user-specific way. We give also an implementation of this approach to collect network resource information and evaluate it by measurements. By using this method, users can specify both the content and the format of the network resource information that they want to acquire as well as nodes at which they want to gather these information.

Efficient minimization of deterministic weak &ohgr;-automata
Venue: Information Processing Letters (2001)

We analyze the minimization problem for deterministic weak automata, a subclass of deterministic B&uuml;chi automata, which recognize the regular languages that are recognizable by deterministic B&uuml;chi and deterministic co-B&uuml;chi automata. We reduce the problem to the minimization of finite automata on finite words and obtain an algorithm running in time O(n logn), where n is the number of states of the automaton.
A resource-adaptive mobile navigation system
Authors: Jörg Baus, Antonio Krüger, Wolfgang Wahlster
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

The design of mobile navigation systems adapting to limited resources will be an important future challenge. Since typically several different means of transportation have to be combined in order to reach a destination, the user interface of such a system has to adapt to the user's changing situation. This applies especially to the alternating use of different technologies to detect the user's position, which should be as seamless as possible. This article presents a hybrid navigation system that relies on different technologies to determine the user's location and that adapts the presentation of route directions to the limited technical resources of the output device and the limited cognitive resources of the user.

Statistical learning by natural gradient descent
Authors: H. H. Yang, S. Amari
Venue: New learning paradigms in soft computing (2002)

Based on stochastic perceptron models and statistical inference, we train single-layer and two-layer perceptrons by natural gradient descent. We have discovered an efficient scheme to present the Fisher information matrix of a stochastic two-layer perceptron. Based on this scheme, we have designed an algorithm to compute the natural gradient. When the input dimension n is much larger than the number of hidden neurons, the complexity of this algorithm is of order O (n). It is confirmed by simulations that the natural gradient descent learning rule is not only efficient but also robust.
SEEDEX: a MAC protocol for ad hoc networks
Authors: R. Rozovsky, P. R. Kumar
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

Motivated by the poor experimental scaling reported in a study of the performance of ad hoc networks in [15], we propose a new protocol for media access control in ad hoc networks. Our protocol seeks to avoid collisions without making explicit reservations for each and every packet. The key idea is to employ a random schedule which is driven by a pseudo-random number generator. By exchangine the seeds of their pseudo-random number generators within two-hop neighborhood, the nodes effectively publish their schedules to all hidden as well as exposed nodes. This allows each node to opportunistically choose transmission slots. This scheme can also be employed during the reservation phase of a protocol such as IEEE 802.11. Throughput calculations and simulation results are presented

On the learnability of recursively enumerable languages from good examples
Authors: Sanjay Jain, Steffen Lange, Jochen Nessel
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

The present paper investigates identification of indexed families L of recursively enumerable languages from good examples. We distinguish class-preserving learning from good examples (the good examples have to be generated with respect to a hypothesis space having the same range as L) and class-comprising learning from the good examples (the good examples have to be selected with respect to a hypothesis space comprising the range of L). A learner is required to learn a target language on every finite superset of the good examples for it. If the learner's first and only conjecture is correct then the underlying learning model is referred to as finite identification from good examples and if the learner makes a finite number of incorrect conjectures before always outputting a correct one, the model is referred to as limit identification from good examples. In the context of class-preserving learning, it is shown that the learning power of finite and limit identification from good text examples coincide. When class comprising learning from good text examples is concerned, limit identification is strictly more powerful than finite learning. Furthermore, if learning from good informant examples is considered, limit identification is superior to finite identification in the class preserving as well as in the class-comprising case. Finally, we relate the models of learning from good examples to one another as well as to the standard learning models in the context of Gold-style language learnin
Hubbub: a sound-enhanced mobile instant messenger that supports awareness and opportunistic interactions
Authors: Ellen Isaacs, Alan Walendowski, Dipti Ranganthan
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

There have been many attempts to support awareness and lightweight interactions using video and audio, but few have been built on widely available infrastructure. Text-based systems have become more popular, but few support awareness, opportunistic conversations, and mobility, three important elements of distributed collaboration. We built on the popularity of text-based Instant Messengers (IM) by building a mobile IM called Hubbub that tries to provide all three, notably through the use of earcons. In a 5.5-month use study, we found that Hubbub helped people feel connected to colleagues in other locations and supported opportunistic interactions. The sounds provided effective awareness cues, although some found them annoying. It was more important to support graceful transitions between multiple fixed locations than to support wireless access, although both were useful
