Proportion Extend Sort
Authors: Jing-Chao Chen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

PROPORTION EXTEND SORT is a new sorting algorithm, the basic principle of which is similar to PROPORTION SPLIT SORT. This algorithm sorts a sequence by constructing three subproblems, using a QuickSort-like pivot technique and solving recursively each subproblem. The original problem and three subproblems all are of such a structure: a sorted subsequence followed by an unsorted subsequence. The size of the original problem always equals the size of the third subproblem, but in general, the sorted subsequence of the third subproblem is p+1 times as much as the sorted subsequence of the original, where p is a fixed positive constant. The worst case number of comparisons required by this algorithm is less than 1/log (1+1/(2p2+2p-1))nlog n for $p \geq 1$. Empirical results show that the average number of comparisons is close to n log n-O(n) for some p. From our experiments for sorting integers, when p = 16, this algorithm is yet faster, on average, than PROPORTION SPLIT SORT which is faster than CLEVER QUICKSORT.

Systems Engineering with SDL: Developing Performance-Critical Communication
Authors: Andreas Mitschele-Thiel
Venue:  (2001)

:SDL (Specification and Description Language) is a modern, high-level programming language intended for the description of complex, event-driven, real-time and communicating systems. SDL was originally designed to describe performance-critical, real-time systems with precision and accuracy, and, if used correctly, it can significantly enhance the performance of system designs.This text is unique in the integration between performance and design issues, describing the specific problems encountered when specifying, designing and implementing communication systems with SDL, and offers experience-based advice and solutions. Other topics covered include Navigating through complex design processes Strategies for deriving efficient implementations from SDL descriptions The latest version of SDL, SDL-2000Systems Engineering with SDL also includes a CD-ROM containing a demonstration version of Telelogic's SDL design suite 'Tau' - the market leading SDL design tool which further reinforces the comprehensive integration between theory and practice.Written by a former system architect at Alcatel who currently serves on the ITU standards body for SDL, responsible for the development of performance and time aspects of the standard, this valuable reference resource is principally of use to practitioners using SDL to develop communicating systems, communication protocols, distributed systems, embedded systems, especially systems architects, development engineers and tool builders making strategic design decisions. However, the comprehensive coverage and concise and practical style make this text also applicable to students on graduate level courses on protocol engineering,communication systems engineering and distributed systems.
Procurer usability requirements: negotiations in contract development
Authors: Henrik Artman
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

This article describes a case study that examined one procurer's reasoning about and work with usability-related issues as well as the contractor's response to those requirements. The aim of this study was to examine the procurer's power to direct the system development process according to user-centred principles and indeed to point out its responsibility to use that power. The study elucidated the procurer's and the contractor's differing views of usability. The results suggest that the project leaders from the two organisations examined in this study had differing views of usability and that both approached usability more from a business perspective than from a user perspective. Furthermore, we found that the procurer valued user-centred activities less for their results than for the opportunity they gave to come in contact with the user's point of view and then to visualize the requirements concretely. We conclude this article with an analysis of some contradictions within and between the two organisations from a socio-cultural point of view. We suggest some mundane but nevertheless important requirements that procurers should think of when contracting consultants.
Language-specific make technology for the Java programming language
Authors: Mikhail Dmitriev
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2002)

Keeping the code of a Java application consistent (code is consistent if all of the project classes can be recompiled together without errors) prevents late linking errors, and thus may significantly improve development turnaround time. In this paper we describe a make technology for the Java programming language, that is based on smart dependency checking, guarantees consistency of the project code, and at the same time reduces the number of source code recompilations to the minimum. After project code consistency is initially assured by complete recompilation, the information extracted from the binary classes is stored in a so-called project database. Whenever the source code for some class C is changed, its recompiled binary is compared to the old version of C preserved in the project database. As a result, we find a minimum subset of classes that depend on C and may be affected by the particular change made to it. These are recompiled in turn, and absence of compilation errors at this phase guarantees the consistency of the new project code. To determine which dependent classes to recompile, we categorize all source incompatible changes, and for each category establish a criterion for finding the smallest possible subset of dependent classes.

Oracle DBA Checklists Pocket Reference
Authors: Debby Russell
Venue:  (2001)

:Oracle database administration is a complex and stressful job. In a series of easy-to-use checklists, this concise pocket reference summarizes the enormous number of tasks you must perform as an Oracle DBA. Each section takes a step-by-step "cookbook" approach to presenting DBA quick-reference material. The Oracle DBA Checklists Pocket Reference is divided into three major sections covering the main areas of an Oracle DBA's responsibilities: Database management. Describes how to maintain existing databases (with a checklist of daily, weekly, and monthly activities), prepare new databases for production, and back up and recover databases (with checklists for how to recover tables, data files, index files, control files, rollback segments, and active and inactive redo logs) Installation and configuration. Contains a summary of key procedures for installation on Unix, Windows NT, and VMS platforms. Also includes special steps for configuring a parallel database. Network management. Helps with installing, configuring, and testing Net8 software on server and client machines. Tasks include confirming network availability and Net8 connectivity, verifying Net8 name resolution, configuring Net8 clients (with LDAP or Oracle Names), configuring Net8 on the server, configuring the Multi-Threaded Server (MTS), tracing client connections, and tracing the Net8 listener. This book's quick-reference, step-by-step approach takes the stress out of DBA problem solving by making it easy to find the information you needand find it fast.
Combinatorial Landscapes
Authors: Christian M. Reidys, Peter F. Stadler
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

Fitness landscapes have proven to be a valuable concept in evolutionary biology, combinatorial optimization, and the physics of disordered systems. A fitness landscape is a mapping from a configuration space into the real numbers. The configuration space is equipped with some notion of adjacency, nearness, distance, or accessibility. Landscape theory has emerged as an attempt to devise suitable mathematical structures for describing the ``static'' properties of landscapes as well as their influence on the dynamics of adaptation. In this review we focus on the connections of landscape theory with algebraic combinatorics and random graph theory, where exact results are available.
Java, Java, Java: Object Oriented Problem Solving, 2nd edition
Authors: Ralph Morelli
Venue:  (2002)

:In this version of a popular book, the author takes an objects early approach to teaching Java, with the assumption that teaching beginners the big picture early gives them more time to master the principles of object-oriented programming. The book focuses on Java's strengths and object-oriented problem solving, and provides a solid understanding of objects and methods, concentrating on problem decomposition and program design. A firm grasp on these fundamentals allows the smaller details, and some of Java's advanced features, to fall into place from a teaching and learning perspective. Chapter topics include computers, objects, and Java; Java program design and development; objects: defining, creating, and using; methods: communicating with objects; applets: programming for the world wide web; Java data and operators; control structures; strings and string processing; arrays and array processing; graphical user interfaces; graphics and drawing; exceptions: when things go wrong; recursive problem solving; threads and concurrent programming; files, streams, and input/output techniques; sockets and networking; and data structures: lists, stacks, and queues. For computer science programmers.
Use of series parallel digraph analysis in generating instructions for multiple users
Authors: Margaret Mitchell
Venue: Selected papers from the Pan-Sydney workshop on Visualisation - Volume 2 (2000)

Series Parallel (SP) digraphs are a common method of representing instructions with partially ordered actions, but not an ideal one, as relationships among groups of actions may not be easily noticed when a plan becomes large. Nor are traditional linear textual instructions the best representation, since while they do allow explicit reference to actions or groups of actions, they do not facilitate human agents working in parallel. We present the use of SP digraph analysis as a method overcoming this problem. We employ Natural Language Generation techniques to produce English instruction output the analysis, which embodies the advantages of both these representations.
Scaling Oracle8i: Building Highly Scalable OLTP System Architectures with Cdrom
Authors: James Morle
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:PREFACE: This is a book about getting the most out of Oracle8i on UNIX systems. While many people understand how to administrate Oracle and UNIX, far fewer understand the issues and workings of the software and hardware, thus limiting the scalability of the system. This book aims to open up this essential information, enabling the reader to build faster, larger, and more scalable systems than ever before. The purpose of this book is to provide grounding in all the areas required for large systems implementation using UNIX and Oracle8i. Some of the information in this text is available elsewhere, scattered throughout a large number of specialized volumes, while other information, taken from experience in implementing such systems, is previously undocumented. Unlike many Oracle books, this book avoids the "one size fits all," cookbook approach to improving the skillset of the reader. In my opinion, such books do little to improve foundation skills and serve only to confuse readers when their circumstances deviate from those of the author. Rather, the intent of this book is to communicate a distillation of many years of experience in building very large Oracle database systems. The information presented here allows the reader to make informed decisions, based on real facts, that directly apply to the actual case at hand. Where appropriate, this book will make recommendations to the reader, mostly from an approach standpoint. These recommendations are intended to guide the reader past some of the common pitfalls often encountered during the building of large systems. In addition to technical information, the book also makes organizational andproceduralrecommendations intended to help the reader avoid dead ends and other sources of aggravation. Although the focus of this book is on Oracle8i, the principles presented also apply to other database software. UNIX is the premier platform for very large Oracle systems and is therefore presented as the underlying operating system, although many of the hardware and theoretical discussions also apply to other operating systems, such as Windows NT. Large, custom-written applications are the main target of this book, but all of the concepts presented here also apply in varying degrees to smaller systems and packaged applications. Who Should Read This Book This book is primarily aimed at the following audiences. System architects Database engineers wanting to expand their knowledge System administrators working on UNIX/Oracle systems Senior application developers In addition, this book will be of value to the following audiences.

The electronic claim file: a case study of impacts of information technology in knowledge work
Authors: Bert Painter
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

This is a case study of a public insurance company's conversion of long-standing paper-based work processes to an electronic document management system, "E-File", with imaging, data integration, and automated workflow. As a transformational change, the E-File experience illuminates a range of effects of information technology. Many effects were well-enough managed, through participatory design and labor-management consultation, to yield an outcome where over 90% of the highly skilled employees surveyed in the 1200 white-collar user population regard E-File as a substantially positive change. What remain are some enduring challenges. Most notable are computerization effects unique to knowledge work, combined with the constant changes associated with information technology.

Universality of data retrieval languages
Authors: Alfred V. Aho, Jeffrey D. Ullman
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1979)

We consider the question of how powerful a relational query language should be and state two principles that we feel any query language should satisfy. We show that although relational algebra and relational calculus satisfy these principles, there are certain queries involving least fixed points that cannot be expressed by these languages, yet that also satisfy the principles. We then consider various extensions of relational algebra to enable it to answer such queries. Finally, we discuss our extensions to relational algebra in terms of a new programming language oriented model for queries.
Multi-level operator combination in XML query processing
Authors: Shurug Al-Khalifa, H. V. Jagadish
Venue: Proceedings of the eleventh international conference on Information and knowledge management (2002)

A core set of efficient access methods is central to the development of any database system. In the context of an XML database, there has been considerable effort devoted to defining a good set of primitive operators and inventing efficient access methods for each individual operator. These primitive operators have been defined either at the macro-level (using a "pattern tree" to specify a selection, for example) or at the micro-level (using multiple explicit containment joins to instantiate a single XPath expression).In this paper we argue that it is valuable to consider operations at each level. We do this through a study of operator merging: the development of a new access method to implement a combination of two or more primitive operators. It is frequently the case that access methods for merged operators are superior to a pipelined execution of separate access methods for each operator. We show operator merging to be valuable at both the micro-level and the macro-level. Furthermore, we show that the corresponding merged operators are hard to reason with at the other level.Specifically, we consider the influence of projections and set operations on pattern-based selections and containment joins. We show, through both analysis and extensive experimentation, the benefits of considering these operations all together. Even though our experimental verification is only with a native XML database, we have reason to believe that our results apply equally to RDBMS-based XML query engines.
