Usage-based visualization of web localities
Authors: Boris Diebold, Michael Kaufmann
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 Asia-Pacific symposium on Information visualisation - Volume 9 (2001)

The World-Wide Web has evolved into an extremely huge but "messy" information space which is hard to overview. Sitemaps as alternative views of Web sites have been proposed to assist the user in navigating the hyperspace. As Web localities are subject to frequent change and redesign, it is especially important to provide a system for automatic generation of such sitemaps from various data sources instead of creating them manually. In this paper we present a new usage-based navigation sitemap approach. We elaborate the necessary concepts of data extraction and path visualizations. Finally, we demonstrate the results of our implementation using the yFiles.

Understanding Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Editors of Scientific American
Venue:  (2002)

:Understanding Artificial Intelligence is one of the first four titles that launch an exciting new Pocket Science series, from the editors of America's leading popular science magazine, Scientific American.Comprised of critically acclaimed essays by the world's leading experts on each topic in the series, these collections will become definitive texts on crucial issues of our technological times. The authoritative and prestigious reputation of Scientific American puts these books at the top of any science fan's list. Called AI by followers and practitioners, the field of Artificial Intelligence is dedicated to the proposition that human brains are nothing more than machines, albeit extremely complicated ones, whose abilities will someday be duplicated-and surpassed-by computers. This collection of essays discusses the wide spectrum of knowledge compiled on the pursuit of this elusive goal. It includes a fascinating overview of the subject by Douglas B. Lenat, the president of Cycorp, Inc., and a forward-thinking essay on "The Rise of Robots" by Hans Marvec, the principal research scientists at the robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, which conservatively estimates that by 2050, robot brains based on computers will start rivaling human intelligence. Other articles include "Here's Looking at You," which profiles a robot who learns about itself and its environment through trial and error, as well as a profile on Marvin L. Minsky, the mastermind behind Artificial Intelligence. The book-like the entire series-is targeted to intelligent readers who want to expand their understanding of complex scientific subjects and contains essays from top scientists working in the field. Like the magazine, the book encompasses a spectrum of innovation through expert-authored articles that demonstrate the convergence of science, technology, and the world economy, challenging readers with fresh, new ideas and empowering them to make smart, strategic decisions.

Venue:  (2000)

:Multimedia stands as one of the most challenging and excitingaspects of the information era. Although there are books available that deal with various facets of multimedia, the field has urgently needed a comprehensive look at recent developments in the systems, processing, and applications of image and video data in a multimedia environment. Multimedia Image and Video Processing fills that need. Beginning with existing standards and their impact on multimedia image and video processing, experts from around the world address a broad spectrum of topics in a tutorial style. Their authoritative contributions cover the pros and cons of current and new architectures, conventional and intelligent image processing techniques, new developments in the compression and coding of video and images, and content-based image and video retrieval. The book's final chapters examine new results in multimedia applications, including transcoding for multipoint video conferencing, distance education, video-on-demand and telemedicine. The extremely rapid growth of this field means that books even just a few years old may offer information that is already obsolete. Multimedia Image and Video Processing offers not only state-of-the-art research and developments, but does so in a way that provides a solid introduction to each topic and builds a basis for future study, research, and development.
Review of Combinatorial Optimization - Theory and Algorithms
Authors: Ivelin Ivanov
Venue: ACM SIGACT News (2002)

Rarely do mathematical disciplines have so direct practical relevance as combinatorial optimizations, which is why it is one of the most active areas of discrete mathematics. It became a subject in its own right only about 50 years ago, which makes it one of the youngest also.This book covers most of the important results and algorithms achieved in the field to date. Most of the problems are formulated in terms of graphs and linear programs. The book starts with reviewing basic graph theory and linear and integer programming. Next, the classical topics in the field are studied: minimum spanning trees, shortest paths, network flows, matching and matroids.Most of the problems in Chapters 6-14 have polynomial time (efficient) algorithms, while most of the problems studied in Chapters 15-21 are NP-hard, i.e. polynomial time algorithm is unlikely to exist. Although in many cases approximation algorithms are offered which at least have guaranteed performance.Some of the topics include areas which have developed very recently, and which have not appeared in a book before. Examples are algorithms for multicommodity flows, network design problems and the traveling salesman problem. The book also contains some new results and new proofs for previously known results.The authors have an unique approach in the presentation of the topics. They provided detailed proofs for almost all results, including deep classical theorems (e.g. weighted matching algorithm and Karmarkar-Karp bin-packing algorithm) whose proofs are usually sketched in previous works.

Correctly implementing value prediction in microprocessors that support multithreading or multiprocessing
Authors: Milo M. K. Martin, Daniel J. Sorin, Harold W. Cain, Mark D. Hill, Mikko H. Lipasti
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

This paper explores the interaction of value prediction with thread-level parallelism techniques, including multithreading and multiprocessing, where correctness is defined by a memory consistency model. Value prediction subtly interacts with the memory consistency model by allowing data dependent instructions to be reordered. We find that predicting a value and later verifying that the value eventually calculated is the same as the value predicted is not always sufficient.We present an example of a multithreaded pointer manipulation that can generate a surprising and erroneous result when value prediction is implemented without considering memory consistency correctness. We show that this problem can occur with real software, and we discuss how to apply existing techniques to eliminate the problem in both sequentially consistent systems and systems that obey relaxed memory consistency models.

Distributed. NET programming in C#
Authors: Tom Barnaby
Venue:  (2002)

With the release of .NET, Microsoft has once again altered the distributed programming landscape. Almost everything has changed, from data access to remote object calls to the deployment of software components. And, of course, .NET introduces a new technology in XML Web services that may revolutionize Web development. Distributed .NET Programming in C# describes how to use these new .NET technologies to build fast, scalable, and robust distributed applications. Along the way, it answers common questions, such as: How do I use the .NET Remoting Framework? What role does COM+ play in the .NET universe? How can I interoperate with COM components? What's the difference between .NET Remoting and Web services? How will these changes affect the architecture and design of a distributed application? Tom Barnaby assumes the reader is already familiar with the fundamentals of .NET. However, a .NET overview is provided to concisely explain several of the core .NET technologies that are essential for distributed programming, including building, versioning, and deploying assemblies; garbage collection; serialization; and attribute-based programming.
