Interior Methods for Nonlinear Optimization
Authors: Anders Forsgren, Philip E. Gill, Margaret H. Wright
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

Interior methods are an omnipresent, conspicuous feature of the constrained optimization landscape today, but it was not always so. Primarily in the form of barrier methods, interior-point techniques were popular during the 1960s for solving nonlinearly constrained problems. However, their use for linear programming was not even contemplated because of the total dominance of the simplex method. Vague but continuing anxiety about barrier methods eventually led to their abandonment in favor of newly emerging, apparently more efficient alternatives such as augmented Lagrangian and sequential quadratic programming methods. By the early 1980s, barrier methods were almost without exception regarded as a closed chapter in the history of optimization. This picture changed dramatically with Karmarkar's widely publicized announcement in 1984 of a fast polynomial-time interior method for linear programming; in 1985, a formal connection was established between his method and classical barrier methods. Since then, interior methods have advanced so far, so fast, that their influence has transformed both the theory and practice of constrained optimization. This article provides a condensed, selective look at classical material and recent research about interior methods for nonlinearly constrained optimization.
Network+ Exam Cram
Authors: Scott Reeves, Kalinda Reeves
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:Welcome to the Network+ Exam Cram! This book aims to help you get ready to take-and pass-the CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam. This Introduction explains CompTIA's Network+ exam in general and talks about how the Exam Cram series can help you prepare for the exam. Exam Cram books help you understand and appreciate the subjects and materials you need to pass CompTIA's Network+ Certification Exam. Exam Crams are aimed strictly at test preparation and review. They do not teach you everything you need to know about a topic (such as configuring network hardware and software). Instead, we (the authors) present and explain the questions and problems we've found that you're likely to encounter on a test. Our aim is to bring together as much information as possible about the Network+ exam. Nevertheless, to completely prepare yourself for any CompTIA test, we recommend that you begin your studies with some classroom training, or that you pick up and read one of the many available study guides, including The Coriolis Group's Exam Prep series. We also strongly recommend that you exercise your knowledge of basic networking principles by putting together a few small networks. Try a hub network or a switched network using VLAN, and use a router to connect two locations, because nothing beats hands-on experience and familiarity when it comes to understanding the questions you're likely to encounter on a certification test. Book learning is essential, but hands-on experience is the best teacher of all! The New Network+ Certification Exam The Network+ Certification Exam is designed to certify the knowledge of networking technicians with 18 to 24 months of experience in the information technology industry. Ideally, you will have an A+ certification or equivalent knowledge before you pursue this certification. However, it is not mandatory. The Network+ exam will test your skills and knowledge as they relate to the IT industry. The subject area is separated into two groups: your knowledge of networking technology, and your knowledge of networking practices. Although you will be tested in two areas, there is only one comprehensive test.

Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:J.D. Edwards One World is making a surge in the e-business arena; and its stable foundation gives you, the user, some comfort in the ever-changing, unpredictable technology world. Many Quest members are coexisting between World Software and One World, while others are taking the One World plunge. Whether you are coexisting or moving straight into a One World implementation, J.D. Edwards One World A Developer's Guide brings important and helpful technical information to the J.D. Edwards community.J.D. Edwards recognizes that technology must be able to evolve in order to suit your changing business needs; and One World was designed with this firmly in mind. It is the first network-centric solution that separates business rules from the underlying technology, allowing businesses to capitalize on new functionality without disrupting ongoing business. This comprehensive guide shows J. D. Edwards' commitment to providing practical information to both new and experienced One World developers.Similarly, Quest strives to help its members gain the most from their J.D. Edwards investments; and our support of this publishing project demonstrates our continued backing of J.D. Edwards' effort to communicate useful technical information to users. The partnership between J.D. Edwards and Osborne/McGraw-Hill that created J.D. Edwards Press is very much in tune with Quest's mission to provide information to its user community. Without this communication and support, those implementing One World or coexisting between WorldSoftware and One World would not have the information needed to implement it successfully nor gain the most from their software investment. J.D. Edwards OneWorld A Developer's Guide delves deep into the technology of One World giving users the "ins and outs" of the software while focusing on application development and customization.
Methodologies for the cost-benefit analysis of computer graphics systems
Authors: Ira W. Cotton
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

This paper assesses the state of the art in cost-benefit analyses of computer graphics systems and suggests an approach for developing improved methodology. Cost-benefit analyses are distinguished from analyses of system performance in that the latter is directed at optimizing system performance at a given level of investment, while the former is directed at justifying the investment itself.Computer graphic system design alternatives are first outlined. Then methods of analyzing the performance and costs of computer systems in general and graphic systems in particular are discussed. With this information it is shown how cost-effectiveness analyses may be performed. The next crucial step is to conduct benefit analysis, an ill-defined art. The results of benefit analysis must be combined with cost-effectiveness analysis in order to perform the desired cost-benefit analysis.An experimental methodology is suggested for better performing benefit analyses of computer graphics systems. A more rigorous formulation of the cost-benefit procedure is then outlined. No attempt is made in this report to actually perform such an analysis.

Macromedia Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio for 3D: Training from the Source
Authors: Phil Gross, Michael Gross
Venue:  (2001)

:Macromedia Director is the best-selling multimedia authoring program and the leading tool for creating interactive media for the Web, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, corporate presentations, and more. Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio, the latest upgrade, now includes Intel Internet 3D Graphics Software, which means that for the first time, developers have an easy way to deliver interactive 3D content over the Web. Macromedia Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio includes Director 8.5, Fireworks 4, Shockwave 8.5 Player, Shockwave MultiUser 3 Server, and more. Macromedia Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio for 3D covers the new 3D capabilities added to Director with the release of Version 8.5. This book uses the same step-by-step instructional method that has made the Director 8 Authorized book so popular and which gets the tasks done with the least amount of frustration for the reader. Whether you're a seasoned Director user looking to extend your Director movies into the third dimension or a 3D graphic artist using Director to propel your models into Shockwave and onto the Web, this book gives you practical, hands-on training from the source. The included CD-ROM holds all the files and models you'll need to work through the lessons, plus sample files you can compare with your own results. The book consists of two tracks for the two types of people who will be using Director 3D. One track is for current Director users and Lingo programmers and covers in detail the elements of 3D programming--from vector math and creating 3D primitives through lights, shaders and textures, animation (including bones) and the creation of 3D objects using meshes. The other track is for 3D people who are not Director users, such as 3ds max (formerly known as 3D Studio Max) designers. That track gets 3D graphic artists up to speed with Director, allowing them to import a 3D file and output an interactive Shockwave movie that can be dropped onto a Web page. No Lingo programming is required for this track as it is done entirely through use of the Library Palette behaviors--all you need for many e-commerce applications.
