Extending the MFC Library: Add Useful Reusable Features to the Microsoft Foundation Class Library
Authors: David A. Schmitt
Venue:  (1996)

:The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) simplify Windows applications development and boost programming power by allowing you to implement features of an application as an MFC extension. Extending the MFC Library teaches techniques for extracting reusable objects from your applications and provides project code for sample extensions ready to run on CD. If you're an MFC programmer who hasn't yet worked with extensions, this book shows you how to effectively create and package your reusable components as extensions. If you're not an MFC programmer but have basic Windows and C programming knowledge, this book provides a focused and concise entree into MFC programming. Chapters 1 through 4 present an overview of MFC and a quick course in C++ and MFC extensibility techniques. Chapters 5 through 13 present case studies of MFC extensions that tap into the power of MFC to provide you with practical reusable features. These projects show you how to extend MFC with progress bars, page layout controls, localization services, and object-oriented tree views. Included is an Extension Class Reference "manual" that describes the book's extension classes in quick reference format - this template is also provided on CD as a Word 6 file. The CD contains the book's project code packaged as a class library, plus InstallShield Express Lite, a visual environment for creating installations for Windows applications.

A proxy-based adaptive flow control scheme for media streaming
Authors: Chung-Ming Huang, Tz-Heng Hsu, Chi-Kuang Chang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Based on the layered video streaming technique, we proposed a proxy-based traffic flow control scheme that adjusts the presentation quality according to the currently available bandwidth, i.e., dropping/adding some video layers when the network situation gets congested/smooth. Additionally, the proposed traffic flow control provides layered video stream buffering control to smoothen video playout. A re-transmission technique is also adopted to reduce the lost possibility of some important video frames. With the proposed traffic flow control scheme, the coming server-proxy-client multimedia presentation systems can have a better bandwidth utilization and presentation quality.

Parallel threshold-based ILU factorization
Authors: George Karypis, Vipin Kumar
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

The sparse linear systems arising in finite element applications are commonly solved using iterative methods. In particular, as the size of these problems increases, the increased computational and memory requirements of these problems render in-core direct solution methods unusable, leaving iterative methods as the only viable alternative for solving these problems in core.The major computational kernels of an iterative method are (i) computation of preconditioner, (ii) multiplication of a sparse matrix with a vector, and (iii) application of the preconditioner. Threshold-based incomplete LU factorization have been found to be quite effective in preconditioning iterative system solvers [14]. However, because these factorizations allow the fill elements to be created dynamically, their parallel formulations had not been well understood, and they have been considered to be unsuitable for distributed-memory parallel computers [13]. Furthermore, solution of the resulting sparse triangular system (which is required for the application of the preconditioner) is generally more difficult to parallelize than the multiplication of a sparse matrix with a vector.In this paper we show that highly parallel graph partitioning algorithms in conjunction with parallel algorithms for computing maximal independent sets can be used to develop scalable parallel formulations of incomplete factorization algorithms. We present a highly parallel formulation of the ILUT factorization algorithm [14] for distributed memory parallel computers. This algorithm uses our parallel multilevel k-way graph partitioning algorithm [6,8] in conjunction with a parallel maximal independent subset algorithm to parallelize both the factorization as well as the solution of the resulting triangular factors. We also present a modified ILUT factorization algorithm (ILUT*) that requires less time and is more scalable than ILUT. Our experiments on Cray T3D show that our parallel ILUT* algorithm achieve a high degree of concurrency, and when used as a preconditioner, it is comparable in quality to the unmodified ILUT algorithm. Furthermore, our experiments using the GMRES iterative solver show that the amount of time spent in computing the factorization using the ILUT* algorithm is usually much less than the amount of time required to solve the systems.

The paragraph: the weak link in technical communication?
Authors: Stephen Murphy
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)

The paragraph has been a writer's design convention for centuries. It can be applied to any kind of writing. It is flexible. It is easy to learn. It is what everyone is taught from about third grade onwards as the sole design for writing information. However, three different fields of endeavor are impacting the use of the paragraph as the only convention for conveying information in the corporate and technical world. They are cognitive science research, online media and structured documentation.

A graph theoretic approach for channel assignment in cellular networks
Authors: Mihaela Iridon, David Matula, Cheng Yang
Venue: Wireless Networks (2001)

We define a cellular assignment graph to model the channel assignment problem in a cellular network where overlapping cell segments are included in the model. Our main result is the Capacity-Demand Theorem which shows a channel assignment function is always possible unless there is a connected subregion of cells and overlap segments containing more channel requests then the total capacity of all transceivers within or on the boundary of the subregion and covering any part of the subregion with an overlapping segment. We further describe the simplicity and regularity of our proposed cellular assignment graphs and their accessibility for simulation and theoretical investigation without artifacts from the overall geographical region boundaries.

A comprehensive model for arbitrary result extraction
Authors: Neal Sample, Dorothea Beringer, Gio Wiederhold
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Within the realms of workflow management and grid computing, scheduling of distributed services is a central issue. Most schedulers balance time and cost to fit within a client's budget, while accepting explicit data dependencies between services as the best resolution for scheduling. Results are extracted from one service in total, and then simply forwarded to the next service. However, distributed objects and remote services adhere to various standards for data delivery and result extraction. There are multiple means of requesting results and multiple ways of delivering those results. By examining several popular and idiosyncratic methods, we have developed a comprehensive model that combines the functionality of all component models. This model for arbitrary result extraction from distributed objects provides increased flexibility for object users, and an increased audience for module providers. In turn, intelligent schedulers may leverage these result extraction features.
