Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd edition
Authors: Richard Monson-Haefel
Venue:  (2001)

:Enterprise JavaBeans was recently voted "Best Java Book" by the editors and readers of Java Developer's Journal. Readers of JavaPro named it the "Best Java Book for Experts." And Amazon.com included it in the Top Computer Books for 2000. Now the best only gets better! In the new 3rd edition, Enterprise JavaBeans has been completely revised and updated with a thorough introduction to the new 2.0 version of the EJB specification. Significantly different from the earlier version, the 2.0 specification introduces three dramatic improvements: A completely new version of container-managed persistence; local interfaces; and a totally new kind of bean called the "message driven bean." The new version of container-managed persistence (CMP) beans in 2.0 is more portable and robust than in the older 1.1 version. Most significant is the introduction of the relationship fields, which allow entity beans to declare relationships with each other as natural references. In order to make this huge leap in component relationships possible, EJB 2.0 had to redesign how entity beans are defined and interact. Our new 3rd edition examines this critical CMP model in detail. Local interfaces are thoroughly discussed as well. Local interfaces allow beans that are co-located to interact without the overhead of remote method calls. This improves the performance of beans considerably and complements the CMP relationship fields. Message driven beans are a new kind of enterprise bean based on asynchronous messaging and the Java Message service (JMS). Instead of responding to Java RMI calls, message driven beans process JMS messages sent by messaging clients.An entire chapter is devoted to message-driven beans and how to use them effectively. In addition, the 3rd edition contains an architecture overview, information on resource management and primary services, design strategies, and XML deployment descriptors.

Authors: Steven Heller, Anne Fink
Venue:  (1997)

:More than any other graphic medium, today's fontography mirrors the traditions, eccentricities, and trends of modern society. Faces on the Edge, by prominent art director and author Steven Heller, is a spellbinding survey of the revolutionary effects of digital type design on 20th-century typography. More than 200 typefaces, from the classically inspired to the exuberantly (near) illegible, are featured in this compilation, illustrating how new technologies have dramatically increased the possibilities of type design. Included are typefaces from many of the world's most innovative type foundries, such as Emigre Fonts, FontShop International, Garage Fonts, Thirst Fonts, Exploding Fonts, and T-26, and represents some of the finest type designers such as Zuzana Licko, Rudy VanderLans, Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones, Ed Fella, and Barry Deck. Typefaces are identified by date, designer, and foundry; a brief description text places each in the larger context of digital type history. With useful information on how to obtain and apply each typeface, Faces on the Edge is an indispensable resource for graphic designers, desktop designers, and students alike. Over 200 illustrations in color and black and white document the real-life application of these inventive typefaces in popular magazines, advertising, posters, and multimedia. Faces on the Edge is a vivid, timely account of what is undeniably a significant era of type design.
Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics: Volume Five
Authors: Don Harris
Venue:  (2001)

:While this book is principally dedicated to describing the theory of activity as it applies to issues of design and training, this work is also offered to a general audience of psychologists and interested lay readers. This theory studies the goal-directed behavior of man and attempts to integrate the cognitive, motivational, and behavioral aspects of activity into a holistic system. Such fundamental notions as goal, action, and self-regulations are described and analyzed from totally different theoretical points of view. This book is addressed in the first instance to Western psychologists. It compares, among other things, analyses of work from the former Soviet Union with the work from the West. Applications of activity theory to design and learning were paramount in the Soviet Union. Using their own theoretical perspective, the authors provide a comparative analysis of the various schools working in activity theory. They hope that this book may facilitate the exchange of ideas between Russian psychological scientists and Western psychologists working in ergonomics, human factors, industrial/organizational psychology, education, learning, and related areas where the theory of activity may find general application.

Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data
Venue: International Conference on Management of Data (2002)

The 2002 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, was held June 4-6, 2002 at the spectacular Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Monona Terrace conference center in Madison, Wisconsin. The SIGMOD conference has long held its status a leading forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences. This year we are pleased to have a particularly strong program, including significant representation from both industry and academia and contributions from around the world. The SIGMOD conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its Special Interest Group on Management of Data (SIGMOD). As has become customary, two days of the conference were overlapped with the Symposium on Principles of Database Systems (PODS). In addition, there were a number of important events co-located with SIGMOD this year, including the 5th International Workshop on the Web and Databases (WebDB), the Workshop on Research Issues in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (DMKD), and the New Database Faculty Symposium.As with previous years, acceptance into the conference proceedings was extremely competitive. From the 240 research program submissions, the program committee selected 42 papers for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. These papers span the range of traditional database topics as well as issues of emerging interest such as data streaming, middle-tier data management, and integration with web services and the WWW. The: program committee worked hard to select these papers through a detailed review process and active discussion both electronically and at the program committee meeting held in January at Berkeley. We are deeply indebted to Surajit Chaudhuri and Jonathan Simon for their efforts in developing and hosting the Conference Management Tool at Microsoft. We used the CMT to run the entire submissions and review process for research papers, including the program committee meeting. We would also like to thank Umesh Dayal, who took on extra work to help manage the review process.In addition to the research track, we had 41 submissions to the Demonstrations track, of which 21 projects were invited to present. The Demonstrations track has become a key venue for the early dissemination of cutting-edge prototype and systems development experience. Paul Aoki chaired the demos program committee, which put together a diverse and exciting program. The Industrial program committee, chaired by Mike Carey took an active role in soliciting quality submissions and have put together a program that is a key component of this year's conference. Likewise, Donald Kossmann and Peter Scheuermann and the tutorial committee organized an excellent slate of Panels and Tutorials to round out the program.

Adaptive High-Order Finite-Difference Method for Nonlinear Wave Problems
Authors: I. Fatkullin, J. S. Hesthaven
Venue: Journal of Scientific Computing (2001)

We discuss a scheme for the numerical solution of one-dimensional initial value problems exhibiting strongly localized solutions or finite-time singularities. To accurately and efficiently model such phenomena we present a full space-time adaptive scheme, based on a variable order spatial finite-difference scheme and a 4th order temporal integration with adaptively chosen time step. A wavelet analysis is utilized at regular intervals to adaptively select the order and the grid in accordance with the local behavior of the solution. Through several examples, taken from gasdynamics and nonlinear optics, we illustrate the performance of the scheme, the use of which results in several orders of magnitude reduction in the required degrees of freedom to solve a problem to a particular fidelity.

Time Discretization of Parabolic Problems by the HP-Version of the Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method
Authors: Dominik Schötzau, Christoph Schwab
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) for the time discretization of parabolic problems is analyzed in the context of the hp-version of the Galerkin method. Error bounds which are explicit in the time steps as well as in the approximation orders are derived and it is shown that the hp-DGFEM gives spectral convergence in problems with smooth time dependence. In conjunction with geometric time partitions it is proved that the hp-DGFEM results in exponential rates of convergence for piecewise analytic solutions exhibiting singularities induced by incompatible initial data or piecewise analytic forcing terms. For the h-version DGFEM algebraically graded time partitions are determined that give the optimal algebraic convergence rates. A fully discrete hp scheme is discussed exemplarily for the heat equation. The use of certain mesh-design principles for the spatial discretizations yields exponential rates of convergence in time and space. Numerical examples confirm the theoretical results.

E-Supply chain: no more big bangs
Authors: Joshua Greenbaum
Venue: Software Magazine (2002)

EVEN WHEN TIMES WERE GOOD and IT budgets were flush with cash, the proverbial big bang implementation took a lot of well-deserved heat. Spending tens or even hundreds of millions on a multiyear, enterprise-wide software implementation was risky business at best. At worst, it was the ticket to monumental fiscal and management failure. The most recent, and most public, example is the now infamous failure of Nike's i2 supply-chain management system, a $400 million big bang that misdirected $100 million in Nike inventory and cost the company over $2 billion in market cap once the company publicly acknowledged the failure. The Nike disaster was classic: too much money spent on too much software and consulting, with too little to show for the effort.
