Flash 5 Advanced for Windows and MacIntosh: Visual Quickpro Guide with CD
Authors: Russell Chun
Venue:  (2000)

:Author Russell Chun shows readers how to problem solve and tackle everyday, real-life Flash quandaries. The huge popularity of Flash has generated an enormous amount of demand for advanced Flash titles. However, many third-party books, while satisfactory for a beginning level Flash animator, offer limited instruction in advanced functions such as Action Scripting and Movie Clips, both of which are essential for complex Flash interactivity. Flash 5 Advanced for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide covers advanced features and techniques of Flash, and offers a more general strategy to Flash problem solving. Rather than presenting `cookbook-style' Flash examples for users to copy, this guide demonstrates ways to approach animation and interactivity, encouraging users to begin to `think' in Flash. The book contains five sections: advanced animation, understanding ActionScript, navigation, transferring graphics and sound, and working with information.The Visual QuickPro Guide uses the same task-based, visual reference format of the Visual QuickStart Guide series.

Monitoring and diagnosing computer systems by radio communication
Authors: Hans Eberle
Venue: ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News (2002)

A radio network is described for configuring, monitoring, and diagnosing the components of a computer system. Using radio communication offers many advantages: (a) it removes dependencies between the monitoring and monitored systems as orthogonal interconnects are used; (b) by broadcasting information it offers direct communication between the monitoring and monitored devices that does not rely on any intermediate communication devices; (c) it does not rely on a physical interconnect exposed to mechanical wear and tear.

Performance analysis of elliptic curve cryptography for SSL
Authors: Vipul Gupta, Sumit Gupta, Sheueling Chang, Douglas Stebila
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Wireless security (2002)

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is emerging as an attractive public-key cryptosystem for mobile/wireless environments. Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes, which results in faster computations, lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings. This is especially useful for mobile devices which are typically limited in terms of their CPU, power and network connectivity. However, the true impact of any public-key cryptosystem can only be evaluated in the context of a security protocol. This paper presents a first estimate of the performance improvements that can be expected in SSL (Secure Socket Layer), the dominant security protocol on the Web today, by adding ECC support.
Characterizing tool use in an interactive drawing environment
Authors: Robert St. Amant, Thomas E. Horton
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

The metaphor of tool use for describing the interaction between a human and a computer is pervasive in user interface design. The basic concept of tool use, however, is difficult to define precisely, for HCI purposes or in general. In this paper we argue that a close examination of physical tool use can improve the design of interactive software. We describe a drawing application, HabilisDraw, that incorporates some of the properties we associate with physical tools but are not commonly found in software: persistent tool objects that encapsulate behavior and information, that can be used in conjunction with one another, and that embody rich cues about their appropriate usage. Initial results from formative evaluation suggest that the approach has some promise.
Numerical simulation on a coated piezoelectric sensor interacting with a crack
Authors: Z. M. Xiao, J. Bai
Venue: Finite Elements in Analysis and Design (2002)

Numerical investigation on the interaction between a coated piezoelectric fiber-shaped sensor and a near-by crack has been carried out in the current study. Both the crack and the piezoelectric inclusion (the sensor) are embedded in an infinite isotropic non-piezoelectric elastic matrix. Two typical mechanical loading cases, i.e., the tensile loading and pure shear loading with a far-field anti-plane electrical field are analyzed. Finite element analysis is employed to compute the stress and deformation for the coupled electro-mechanical problem. The effect of the coating layer thickness on the stress intensity factor of the crack is studied in detail. Results also show that the far field electric loading, the shear modulus of the coating layer and the matrix have great influence on the fracture behavior of the crack.

Locally adaptive dimensionality reduction for indexing large time series databases
Authors: Kaushik Chakrabarti, Eamonn Keogh, Sharad Mehrotra, Michael Pazzani
Venue: ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS) (2002)

Similarity search in large time series databases has attracted much research interest recently. It is a difficult problem because of the typically high dimensionality of the data. The most promising solutions involve performing dimensionality reduction on the data, then indexing the reduced data with a multidimensional index structure. Many dimensionality reduction techniques have been proposed, including Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), the Discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In this article, we introduce a new dimensionality reduction technique, which we call Adaptive Piecewise Constant Approximation (APCA). While previous techniques (e.g., SVD, DFT and DWT) choose a common representation for all the items in the database that minimizes the global reconstruction error, APCA approximates each time series by a set of constant value segments of varying lengths such that their individual reconstruction errors are minimal. We show how APCA can be indexed using a multidimensional index structure. We propose two distance measures in the indexed space that exploit the high fidelity of APCA for fast searching: a lower bounding Euclidean distance approximation, and a non-lower-bounding, but very tight, Euclidean distance approximation, and show how they can support fast exact searching and even faster approximate searching on the same index structure. We theoretically and empirically compare APCA to all the other techniques and demonstrate its superiority.
Graphics in business where we are and where we are going
Authors: Rohi Chauhan
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

All of us possess a naturally well-developed faculty for recognizing pattersn. Therefore, the information technology, now furnished with a new dimension in low-cost interactive graphics, is indeed ready to be of meaningful assistance in the process of decision making. How quickly its acceptance will spread among business decision makers will depend primarily upon how swiftly the inertia of habitually dealing with numbers (rather than dealing directly with implicit patterns) can be overcome. Vendors are supplying more of an end-user product today, but the situation is far from ideal; users still have to put several bits and pieces together. It is fair to assume that better quality, more efficient, and more cost-effective graphing, communications, and computational hardware will definitely be forthcoming. Also, users will find gradually more complete systems in the market. While the hardware costs will continue to decline, the software development costs are likely to keep on increasing.Hardware vendors, although in a position to amortize the software development costs over a large number of customers, are expected to keep showing reluctance at providing users with adequate applications software and the post-sales support. If the vendors are to furnish more of the end-user oriented applications software, they must be convinced of its profitability. The users can motivate vendors to concentrate on crystalization of user needs, so that they can respond with more complete products.This paper is intended to stimulate a discussion on the state of interactive graphics art and future trends, in relationship to the (business) user needs and problems. This panel member's bias is reflected above. He believes that right now the first difficult step of "getting started" needs to be taken by most users involved in the business decision-making activity, for which fairly decent products are available. The better decision support systems must be part of an evolutionary process which should be jointly embarked on by users as well as manufacturers. Neither party can do it or will try to do it alone.

Writing Machines
Authors: N. Katherine Hayles, Anne Burdick
Venue:  (2002)

:Tracing a journey from the 1950s through the 1990s, N. Katherine Hayles uses the autobiographical persona of Kaye to explore how literature has transformed itself from inscriptions rendered as the flat durable marks of print to the dynamic images of CRT screens, from verbal texts to the diverse sensory modalities of multimedia works, from books to technotexts. Weaving together Kaye's pseudo-autobiographical narrative with a theorization of contemporary literature in media-specific terms, Hayles examines the ways in which literary texts in every genre and period mutate as they are reconceived and rewritten for electronic formats. As electronic documents become more pervasive, print appears not as the sea in which we swim, transparent because we are so accustomed to its conventions, but rather as a medium with its own assumptions, specificities, and inscription practices. Hayles explores works that focus on the very inscription technologies that produce them, examining three writing machines in depth: Talan Memmott's groundbreaking electronic work Lexia to Perplexia, Mark Z. Danielewski's cult postprint novel House of Leaves, and Tom Phillips's artist's book A Humument. Hayles concludes by speculating on how technotexts affect the development of contemporary subjectivity. Writing Machines is the second volume in the Mediawork Pamphlets series.
