A+ Adaptive Exams (220-221, 220-222)
Authors: Christopher A. Crayton
Venue:  (2002)

:As part of the TestTaker's Guide Series, this book and CD-ROM outline the current CompTIA conceptsand objectives needed to ace the A+ adaptive certification exams and provide additional practice exam question/answer sets for reinforcement. Just as successful students often score poorly on SATs, many highly experienced administrators fail the A+ certification exams because they understand the content but not the test structure. To address this issue, the book also provides tips and insights into how the adaptive tests are crafted, so that test takers will be prepared to think like the test. Written by a Network Administrator and award-winning Certified A+ Instructor, the book draws upon exhaustive subject expertise and teaching experience to provide everything you need to know to pass the exams. KEY FEATURES - Covers the latest CompTIA test objectives for the A+ adaptive exams: A+ Core Hardware Service Technician Examination (220-221) and A+ Operating System Technologies Examination (220-222) - Explains the adaptive testing format in detail, with useful exam and study techniques - Teaches test takers how to think like the exam - Guides the reader through the entire A+ certification process from start to finish - Written by an award-winning, Certified A+ Instructor with an established record of success - Companion CD-ROM (WIN) contains additional practice questions, simulated exams (with answers), and tutorial demos Author Biography: Christopher A.

Generalized interest management in virtual environments
Authors: Michal Masa, Jiří Žára
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Collaborative virtual environments (2002)

We present an interest management technique that organizes the shared state of a virtual environment into domains and sub-domains. To specify users' interests, we have partially adopted the general aura-nimbus model. It has been generalized beyond its original spatial use to allow users to express their interests explicitly without relying on their spatial characteristics only.

Probabilistic scalable P2P resource location services
Authors: Daniel A. Menascé, Lavanya Kanchanapalli
Venue: ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review (2002)

Scalable resource discovery services form the core of directory and other middleware services. Scalability requirements preclude centralized solutions. The need to have directory services that are highly robust and that can scale with the number of resources and the performance of individual nodes, points to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architectures as a promising approach. The resource location problem can be simply stated as "given a resource name, find the location of a node or nodes that manage the resource." We call this the deterministic location problem. In a very large network, it is clearly not feasible to contact all nodes to locate a resource. Therefore, we modify the problem statement to "given a resource name, find with a given probability, the location of a node or nodes that manage the resource." We call this a probabilistic location approach. We present a protocol that solves this problem and develop an analytical model to compute the probability that a directory entry is found, the fraction of peers involved in a search, and the average number of hops required to find a directory entry. Numerical results clearly show that the proposed approach achieves high probability of finding the entry while involving a relatively small fraction of the total number of peers. The analytical results are further validated by results obtained from an implementation of the proposed protocol in a cluster of workstations.

A scalable architecture for supporting interactive games on the internet
Authors: Wentong Cai, Percival Xavier, Stephen J. Turner, Bu-Sung Lee
Venue: Proceedings of the sixteenth workshop on Parallel and distributed simulation (2002)

This paper presents a scalable architecture for supporting large-scale interactive Internet games. In order to support a large number of participants and to divide the workload, the virtual world is divided into partitions. Each partition is then assigned to a server. A client (i.e., a player or a participant) will join a server according to the position of the avatar it controls. Compared to a centralized architecture, this distributed client-server architecture is more scalable. In addition, compared to a fully distributed, peer-to-peer architecture, it also provides a means for detecting cheating in distributed games. Since interactions and accounting information must be forwarded directly to one of the servers for qualification and verification, cheating amongst distributed players of the game will be minimized. To support secured communication for interactions and accounting information as well as to speedup periodic update messages (e.g., position updates), a hybrid communication scheme using both TCP and IP multicast is used between clients and the associated server. The communication among servers is enabled by the Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI) services. The High Level Architecture (HLA) Data Distribution Management (DDM) is employed to limit the amount of communication between the servers. In addition, the Ownership Management (OM) is also employed to implement the need for transferring the avatars between servers. In this paper, the design detail of the architecture will be presented. An experimental interactive Internet game realized using the architecture will be also described in the paper.

The Mean Square Discrepancy of Scrambled (t,s)-Sequences
Authors: Fred J. Hickernell, Rong-Xian Yue
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

The discrepancy arises in the worst-case error analysis for quasi-Monte Carlo quadrature rules. Low discrepancy sets yield good quadrature rules. This article considers the mean square discrepancies for scrambled $(\lam,t,m,s)$-nets and (t,s)-sequences in base b. It is found that the mean square discrepancy for scrambled nets and sequences is never more than a constant multiple of that under simple Monte Carlo sampling. If the reproducing kernel defining the discrepancy satisfies a Lipschitz condition with respect to one of its variables separately, then the asymptotic order of the root mean square discrepancy is O(n-1[log n](s-1)/2) for scrambled nets. If the reproducing kernel satisfies a Lipschitz condition with respect to both of its variables, then the asymptotic order of the root mean square discrepancy is O(n-3/2[log n](s-1)/2) for scrambled nets. For an arbitrary number of points taken from a (t,s)-sequence, the root mean square discrepancy appears to be no better than O(n-1[log n](s-1)/2), regardless of the smoothness of the reproducing kernel.

Venue:  (2000)

:A major new textbook "Digital Multimedia" by Nigel and Jenny Chapman provides a fresh contemporary definition of the emergent discipline of multimedia. It is designed to support instructors by providing a rigorous introduction to the technical scope of this subject. With a coherent approach to its multifarious nature, the book covers all of the essential technical ground, with full awareness of the design, cultural and usability aspects of multimedia. This book will inspire students to develop the potential of multimedia for new forms of expression that are enabled by computers and networks. Concepts Covered: Descriptions of the characteristics of individual media provide the essential starting points for understanding how to combine them. Graphics, text and time-based media are introduced in the context of their digital representation and manipulation. The combination of media within the different frameworks of hypermedia and time-based authoring is described. Interactivity through scripting, and the communications technology that supports distributed multimedia are expolored in detail. Hardware, software and networking capabilities are thoroughly detailed with the backup of motivating and illuminating examples. All this and still the excitement of creating multimedia is conveyed, making this as rich and rewarding a book as the subject itself. Support for Practice through Principles and Theory: "Digital Multimedia" makes reference to the common tools and applications used for production and manipulation of media, but a companion text in development, "Digital Media Tools", due in Spring 2001, addresses the effective use of these packages in moredetail.
