Flash Site Workshop allows the reader to work either feature-by-feature to assemble a site completely in Flash or to choose only those features that the reader wants to use in their particular site.
The Power-Compositions Determinant and Its Application to Global Optimization
Authors: Josep M. Brunat, Antonio Montes
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

Let C(n,p) be the set of p-compositions of an integer n, i.e., the set of p-tuples $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_p)$ of nonnegative integers such that $\alpha_1+\cdots+\alpha_p=n$. The main result of this paper is an explicit formula for the determinant of the matrix whose entries are $\alpha^{\beta}=\alpha_1^{\beta_1}\cdots\alpha_p^{\beta_p}$ where $\alpha,\beta\in C(n,p)$. The formula shows that the determinant is positive and has a nice factorization. As an application, it is shown that the polynomials $p_\alpha(x)=(\alpha_1x_1+\cdots+\alpha_px_p)^n$ with $\alpha\in C(n,p)$ form a basis of the vector space Hn[x1, . . . ,xp] of homogeneous polynomials of degree n in p variables. The result is of interest in the context of global optimization because it allows an explicit representation of polynomials as a difference of convex functions.

The Elements of Java Style
Authors: Scott W. Ambler, Alan Vermeulen, Greg Bumgardner
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:The syntax of a programming language tells you what code it is possible to write-what the machine will understand. Style tells you what you ought to write-what the humans reading the code will understand. Code written with a consistent, simple style will be maintainable, robust, and contain fewer bugs. Code written with no regard to style will contain more bugs. It may simply be thrown away and rewritten rather than maintained. Our two favorite style guides are classics: and Kernighan and Plauger's The Elements of Programming Style. These small books work because they are simple-a list of rules, 'each containing a brief explanation and examples of correct, and sometimes incorrect, use. We followed the same pattern in this book. This simple treatment-a series of rules-enabled us to keep this book short and easy to understand. The idea is to provide a clear standard to follow, so programmers can spend their time on solving the problems of their customers, instead of worrying about naming conventions and formatting.
Genetic Programming and Data Structures: Genetic Programming + Data Structures = Automatic Programming!
Authors: William B. Langdon, Koza John R
Venue:  (1998)

:Computers that "program themselves" has long been an aim of computer scientists. Recently genetic programming (GP) has started to show its promise by automatically evolving programs. In a small number of problems GP has evolved programs whose performance is similar to or even slightly better than that of programs written by people. The main thrust of GP has been to automatically create functions. While these can be of great use they contain no memory and relatively little work has addressed automatic creation of program code including stored data. This is the main focus Genetic Programming and Data Structures: Genetic Programming + Data Structures = Automatic Programming! addresses. Genetic Programming and Data Structures: Genetic Programming + Data Structures = Automatic Programming! should be of direct interest to computer scientists doing research on genetic programming, genetic algorithms, data structures, and artificial intelligence. In addition, this book will be of interest to practitioners working in all of these areas and to those interested in automatic programming.
Multicasting vs. unicasting in mobile communication systems
Authors: Janne Aaltonen, Jouni Karvo, Samuli Aalto
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Wireless mobile multimedia (2002)

We evaluate the multicasting gain over unicast in the cellular networks, where cells are engineered for a specific target call blocking probability. Our approach is Monte-Carlo simulation of dynamic multicast connections, and the traditional Engset model for the unicast traffic. We predict the gain given by multicasting by using earlier studied traffic patterns, and conclude that intervention of the network operator is needed to secure a significant multicasting gain.

Analysis issues in Petri nets with inhibitor arcs
Authors: Nadia Busi
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We investigate the problem of extending the analysis techniques developed for P/T systems to a proper subclass of P/T systems with inhibitor arcs. We start proposing an extension of the coverability tree construction to a subclass of P/T systems with inhibitor arcs, whose elements will be called henceforth primitive systems. We show that the coverability tree corresponding to a primitive system is finite and is a good representation of its behaviour; hence, it can be used as an analysis tool to check properties such as place boundedness, the existence of dead transitions and of a reachable marking larger than a given one. Then we provide an encoding of primitive systems in P/T systems, which permits to retrieve the firing sequences of the primitive system from the firing sequences of the corresponding P/T system. The close correspondence between the firing sequences of the two systems is used prove the decidability of reachability, deadlock and liveness for primitive systems. We also obtain that the model checking problem for the linear time -calculus and labelled primitive systems is decidable. We show that primitive systems coincide with the largest class of P/T systems with inhibitor arcs whose transition sequences can be simulated by a standard P/T system; we also show that in general the step behaviour of a primitive system cannot be simulated by any P/T system. These results are then used to investigate the expressiveness of inhibitor arcs regarding the class of generated languages.

They are integrated with a synthesizable ARM7 microprocessor core and synthesized to gate level to quantitatively analyze and compare their performance, cost and debugging features.
Fast Collocation Methods for Second Kind Integral Equations
Authors: Zhongying Chen, Charles A. Micchelli, Yuesheng Xu
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

In this paper we develop fast collocation methods for integral equations of the second kind with weakly singular kernels. For this purpose, we construct multiscale interpolating functions and collocation functionals having vanishing moments. Moreover, we propose a truncation strategy for the coefficient matrix of the corresponding discrete system which forms a basis for fast algorithms. An optimal order of convergence of the approximate solutions obtained from the fast algorithms is proved and the computational complexity of the algorithms is estimated. The stability of the numerical method and the condition number of the truncated coefficient matrix are analyzed.

XML Schemas
Authors: Chelsea Valentine, Ed Tittel, Lucinda Dykes
Venue:  (2002)

:Whether it is used for web development, creating documentation, or exchanging data between business partners, XML continues to grow in importance as a highly flexible document-design and data-modeling tool. Despite the limitations of using SGML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) to define document structures, XML has made inroads wherever data must flow among disparate platforms. The Schema specification has achieved W3C recommendation status, providing an alternative to DTDs that enables you to precisely structure XML data. But using the Schema Language does more than provide a more powerful way of defining data; it's also a better way because it uses XML's structure, syntax, and namespaces, instead of those derived from the complex SGML. XML Schemas introduces you to this elegant new technology, which brings the power of data modeling and data structuring to XML. A truly practical book has to give you more than just the details on syntax and semantics, examples of constructs and datatypes, and instruction in standard procedures. You get all that, but you'll also find lots of expert tips and techniques for document modeling, all reinforced with practical, real-world examples. Even as you're discovering the advantages of XML Schema, you'll learn about the continuing use of DTDs. In some situations -- when designing document-oriented XML, for example -- DTDs might still be the way to go. You'll learn about visual XML Schema tools, but you'll also see how setting out armed with just a text editor gives you insights you might not acquire otherwise. It won't be long before you're developing your own XML Schema documents, using the power of XML to structure data for seamless, cross-platform exchange.
