Sams Teach Yourself Uml in 24 Hours, 1st edition
Authors: Joseph Schmuller
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:It's all about vision. A complex system comes into being when someone has a vision of how technology can make things better. Developers have to fully understand the vision and keep it firmly in mind as they create the system that realizes the vision. System development projects are successful to the extent they bridge the gap between visionary and developer. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a tool for building the bridge. It helps you capture the vision for a system, and then enables you to communicate the vision to anyone who has a stake in the system. It does this via a set of symbols and diagrams. Each diagram plays a different role within the development process. The goal of this book is to give you a firm foundation in the UML in 24 hours of study. Each hour presents examples to strengthen your understanding, and provides exercises that enable you to put your newfound knowledge to use. I've divided the book into three parts. Part I gives an overview of the UML and then moves into object orientation, which forms the foundation concepts for diagramming objects and classes. We examine the use case--a construct for showing how a system looks to a user, and then show how to diagram use cases. The remaining hours in Part I get you working with the rest of the UML diagrams. Part II presents a simplified methodology for development along with a fictional case study. Thus, the hours in Part II show how the UML fits into the context of a development project. You'll see how the elements of the UML work together in a model of a system. In Part III we apply the UML to design patterns and embedded systems, and then examine its potential applicability in acouple of other areas. Several vendors provide packages that enable you to create UML diagrams and coordinate them into a model. The two most notable are Rational Rose and SELECT Enterprise. Visual UML is another worthy contender. Microsoft has licensed Rational's technology and markets Visual Modeler, a subset of Rational Rose. For this book, however, all you'll need are pencil and paper to draw the diagrams, and a healthy curiosity about the state of the art in system design. Let's get started!
On regions and linear types (extended abstract)
Authors: David Walker, Kevin Watkins
Venue: Proceedings of the sixth ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Functional programming (2001)

We explore how two different mechanisms for reasoning about state, linear typing and the type, region and effect discipline, complement one another in the design of a strongly typed functional programming language. The basis for our language is a simple lambda calculus containing first-class memory regions, which are explicitly passed as arguments to functions, returned as results and stored in user-defined data structures. In order to ensure appropriate memory safety properties, we draw upon the literature on linear type systems to help control access to and deallocation of regions. In fact, we use two different interpretations of linear types, one in which multiple-use values are freely copied and discarded and one in which multiple-use values are explicitly reference-counted, and show that both interpretations give rise to interesting invariants for manipulating regions. We also explore new programming paradigms that arise by mixing first-class regions and conventional linear data structures.
Portable resource control in Java
Authors: Walter Binder, Jane G. Hulaas, Alex Villazón
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2001)

Preventing abusive resource consumption is indispensable for all kinds of systems that execute untrusted mobile coee, such as mobile object sytems, extensible web servers, and web browsers. To implement the required defense mechanisms, some support for resource control must be available: accounting and limiting the usage of physical resources like CPU and memory, and of logical resources like threads. Java is the predominant implementation language for the kind of systems envisaged here, even though resource control is a missing feature on standard Java platforms. This paper describes the model and implementation mechanisms underlying the new resource-aware version of the J-SEAL2 mobile object kernel. Our fundamental objective is to achieve complete portability, and our approach is therefore based on Java bytecode transformations. Whereas resource control may be targeted towards the provision of quality of service or of usage-based billing, the focus of this paper is on security, and more specificlly on prevention of denial-of-service attacks orginating from hostile or poorly implemented mobile code.

:EDM, wireless access, listfeed programs, WAP, XML: They don't sound sweet, but these (and other) power-packed Web technologies are the honey that keep online customers coming back for more. In the war for Web dominance, the site that converts visitors into loyal customers is the winner! When potential customers drop by a site, they expect an experience that's fast, hassle-free, and packed with useful features  otherwise they'll click that "Back" button and be gone...maybe forever! The E-Commerce Arsenal explains that mere icing-on-the-cake elements such as colorful graphics or "Flash" effects just don't cut it. Instead, this savvy book presents 12 powerful existing and emerging technologies that enable a Web site to do something that's tangibly valuable to customers. For example: Shopping "wizards" that help customers find an item (even when they don't know what it's called) Instant e-mail that confirms an order and gives a delivery date Personalization of the site for each customer's interests. Both marketers (who don't know how these technologies work) and computer professionals (who want to grasp their profit potential) will find detailed information on these "killer apps." Divided into three areas (driving traffic, site functionality, and customer service), the book provides: A jargon-free explanation of each technology (what it can do and how it works) Examples of current sites using each technology (illustrated with screen captures) Resource information for implementing each technology. The E-Commerce Arsenalgives readers 12 lethal weapons that attract customers  and keep them coming back.

Authors: D. I. O'Quinn
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

This paper describes a new technique developed to test the quality of dial-up computer lines. The normal telephone system tests cannot normally be used to evaluate these dial-up lines because of the short duration of an unanswered "answer" signal at the computer site. An analysis is given of the rationale and advantage of the technique developed for this purpose.
Bargaining with limited computation: deliberation equilibrium
Authors: Kate Larson, Tuomas Sandholm
Venue: Artificial Intelligence (2001)

We develop a normative theory of interaction-negotiation in particular-among self-interested computationally limited agents where computational actions are game theoretically treated as part of an agent's strategy. We focus on a 2-agent setting where each agent has an intractable individual problem, and there is a potential gain from pooling the problems, giving rise to an intractable joint problem. At any time, an agent can compute to improve its solution to its own problem, its opponent's problem, or the joint problem. At a deadline the agents then decide whether to implement the joint solution, and if so, how to divide its value (or cost). We present a fully normative model for controlling anytime algorithms where each agent has statistical performance profiles which are optimally conditioned on the problem instance as well as on the path of results of the algorithm run so far. Using this model, we introduce a solution concept, which we call deliberation equilibrium. It is the perfect Bayesian equilibrium of the game where deliberation actions are part of each agent's strategy. The equilibria differ based on whether the performance profiles are deterministic or stochastic, whether the deadline is known or not, and whether the proposer is known in advance or not. We present algorithms for finding the equilibria. Finally, we show that there exist instances of the deliberation-bargaining problem where no pure strategy equilibria exist and also instances where the unique equilibrium outcome is not Pareto efficient.

Multiple related document summary and navigation using concept hierarchies for mobile clients
Authors: D. L. Chan, R. W. P. Luk, W. K. Mak, H. V. Leong, E. K. S. Ho, Q. Lu
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Mobile clients have limited display and navigation capabilities. To browse a set of documents, an intuitive method is to navigate through concept hierarchies. To reduce semantic loading for each term that represents the concepts and the cognitive loading of users due to the limited display, similar documents are grouped together before concept hierarchies are constructed for each document group. Since the concept hierarchies only represent the salient concepts in the documents, term extraction is necessary. Our pilot experiments showed that an unconventional combination of term frequency and inverse document frequency yielded similar performance (i.e. 71%) to previous work and the use of terms in titles achieved better performance than previous work (i.e. 82%). Our preliminary results of building concept hierarchies after clustering compared to that without is encouraging (c.f. 82% and 67%). We believe that further research can enhance the performance of concept hierarchies to a level for commercial deployment for mobile clients.

Trellis Structure and Higher Weights of Extremal Self-Dual Codes
Authors: Houshou Chen, John T. Coffey
Venue: Designs, Codes and Cryptography (2001)

A method for demonstrating and enumerating uniformly efficient (permutation-optimal) trellis decoders for self-dual codes of high minimum distance is developed. Such decoders and corresponding permutations are known for relatively few codes.The task of finding such permutations is shown to be substantially simplifiable in the case of self-dual codes in general, and for self-dual codes of sufficiently high minimum distance it is shown that it is frequently possible to deduce the existence of these permutations directly from the parameters of the code.A new and tighter link between generalized Hamming weights and trellis representations is demonstrated: for some self-dual codes, knowledge of one of the generalized Hamming weights is sufficient to determine the entire optimal state complexity profile.These results are used to characterize the permutation-optimal trellises and generalized Hamming weights for all [32,16,8] binary self-dual codes and for several other codes. The numbers of uniformly efficient permutations for several codes, including the [24,12,8] Golay code and both [24,12,9] ternary self-dual codes, are found.
