Program Development in Java: Abstraction, Specification, and Object-Oriented Design, 1st edition
Authors: Barbara Liskov, John Guttag
Venue:  (2000)

:Written by a world-renowned expert on programming methodology, this book shows how to build production-quality programsprograms that are reliable, easy to maintain, and quick to modify. Its emphasis is on modular program construction: how to get the modules right and how to organize a program as a collection of modules. The book presents a methodology effective for either an individual programmer, who may be writing a small program or a single module in a larger one; or a software engineer, who may be part of a team developing a complex program comprised of many modules. Both audiences will acquire a solid foundation for object-oriented program design and component-based software development from this methodology. Because each module in a program corresponds to an abstraction, such as a collection of documents or a routine to search the collection for documents of interest, the book first explains the kinds of abstractions most useful to programmers: procedures; iteration abstractions; and, most critically, data abstractions. Indeed, the author treats data abstraction as the central paradigm in object-oriented program design and implementation. The author also shows, with numerous examples, how to develop informal specifications that define these abstractionsspecifications that describe what the modules doand then discusses how to implement the modules so that they do what they are supposed to do with acceptable performance. Other topics discussed include: Encapsulation and the need for an implementation to provide the behavior defined by the specification Tradeoffs between simplicity and performanceTechniques to help readers of code understand and reason about it, focusing on such properties as rep invariants and abstraction functions Type hierarchy and its use in defining families of related data abstractions Debugging, testing, and requirements analysis Program design as a top-down, iterative process, and design patterns The Java programming language is used for the book's examples. However, the techniques presented are language independent, and an introduction to key Java concepts is included for programmers who may not be familiar with the language.
Web architectures for scalable moving object servers
Authors: Cédric du Mouza, Philippe Rigaux
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM international symposium on Advances in geographic information systems (2002)

The paper describes how the Web can be used as a support for intensive querying and display of large moving objects databases. We present first an architecture for a system which integrates incoming events provided by GPS servers in a spatio-temporal database, and permits to register queries over this database. We focus on continuous queries that allow users to receive notification of events affecting the initial result, and discuss the process of matching queries and events in order to perform this notification. Finally a prototype implementing a simplified version of this architecture is described. It uses standard XML-based languages in order to visualize the result of a query as dynamic maps where the motions can be tracked in real time.

Http Pocket Reference
Authors: Clinton Wong
Venue:  (2000)

:The HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is the backbone of the World Wide Web. HTTP is the language that each Web browser (or other Web client) uses to communicate with servers around the world. All Web programmers, administrators, and application developers need to be familiar with HTTP in order to work effectively. The HTTP Pocket Reference not only provides a solid conceptual foundation of HTTP, it also serves as a quick reference to each of the headers and status codes that compose an HTTP transaction. The book starts with a tutorial of HTTP, but then explains the client request and server responses in more detail, and gives a thorough technical explanation of more advanced features of HTTP (such as persistent connections and caching). Most people use the Web every day without knowing anything about HTTP, but if you need to get "beyond the browser," this book is the place to start.

Signal Processing for Computer Vision
Authors: GFosta H. Granlund, Hans Knutsson
Venue:  (1995)

:Signal Processing for Computer Vision provides a unique and thorough treatment of the signal processing aspects of filters and operators for low level computer vision. Computer Vision has progressed considerably over the years. From methods only applicable to simple images, it has developed to deal with increasingly complex scenes, volumes and time sequences. A substantial part of this book deals with the problem of designing models that can be used for several purposes with computer vision. These partial models have some general properties of invariance generation and generality in model generation. Signal Processing for Computer Vision is the first book to give a unified treatment of representation and filtering of higher order data, such as vectors and tensors in multidimensional space. Included is a systematic organisation for the implementation of complex models in a hierarchical modular structure and novel material on adaptive filtering using tensor data representation. Signal Processing for Computer Vision is intended for final year undergraduate and graduate students as well as engineers and researchers in the field of computer vision and image processing.

Minimal probing: supporting expensive predicates for top-k queries
Authors: Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Seung-won Hwang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (2002)

This paper addresses the problem of evaluating ranked top-k queries with expensive predicates. As major DBMSs now all support expensive user-defined predicates for Boolean queries, we believe such support for ranked queries will be even more important: First ranked queries often need to model user-specific concepts of preference, relevance, or similarity, which call for dynamic user-defined functions. Second, middleware systems must incorporate external predicates for integrating autonomous sources typically accessible only by per-object queries. Third, fuzzy joins are inherently expensive, as they are essentially user-defined operations that dynamically associate multiple relations. These predicates, being dynamically defined or externally accessed, cannot rely on index mechanisms to provide zero-time sorted output, and must instead require per-object probe to evaluate. The current standard sort-merge framework for ranked queries cannot efficiently handle such predicates because it must completely probe all objects, before sorting and merging them to produce top-k answers. To minimize expensive probes, we thus develop the formal principle of "necessary probes," which determines if a probe is absolutely required. We then propose Algorithm MPro which, by implementing the principle, is provably optimal with minimal probe cost. Further, we show that MPro can scale well and can be easily parallelized. Our experiments using both a real-estate benchmark database and synthetic datasets show that MPro enables significant probe reduction, which can be orders of magnitude faster than the standard scheme using complete probing.

A form application development system
Authors: Lawrence A. Rowe, Kurt A. Shoens
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

This paper describes FADS --- a Form Application Development System which is an interactive system for the development of form-based database applications. FADS reduces the amount of work required to implement a forms application by suppressing much of the detail which would be required by conventional tools (e.g., a screen definition system, a database system, and a programming language). FADS provides direct access to a relational database, a standard model of the user interface, built-in form constructs, and an integrated development and debugging environment. Using FADS, form applications can be developed quickly and the resulting systems are easy to modify.A prototype implementation of the FADS kernel has been completed.

Case Method Fast-Track: A Rad Approach
Authors: Dai Clegg, Richard Barker
Venue:  (1994)

From the Book:In writing this book I tried to achieve two different objectives. The first objective was to provide an overview of fast-track, the techniques it applies, and particularly the management challenges it presents. The second objective was to provide a handbook for project managers running fast-track projects. Putting these together might have endangered the second, and more pragmatic objective. This I did not want to do, so the book is split into two distinct parts. Chapters 1 to 3 deal with fast-track in general, Chapter 4 to 7 deal with the life-cycle of a project in more detail, identifying the tasks and their deliverable, the techniques and the tools that support them. These later chapters refer back to the relevant sections of the first part of the book so the descriptions of specific techniques are all gathered together in Chapter 3 and not scattered and duplicated through subsequent chapters.I hope that this structure will mean a casual reader can gain an understanding of the fast-track approach quickly from the first part of the book, and the practitioner can have an organized and compact reference for daily use from the second part.In assembling the second part I frequently found myself adding an extra step or an additional task, for completeness. The result is that, while not all projects will need every step of every task, they are all necessary under some circumstances. Every task is included in a project on the basis of what it produces. If a particular project has no need of the result, for example, documentation of test results, then it should not be produced and the task should be omitted. During the initial planning of a project the template project plan offeredin Chapters 4 to 6 should be assessed and tailored for the project, cutting out the unnecessary tasks and steps. Do not be afraid to prune. The questions to ask are: "Do I need this deliverable to manage the project?" and "Does the sponsor value this deliverable above its price?" I have used Oracle tools throughout in examples, and in particular I have recommended an approach that exploits the ability of the Oracle CASE tools to define rules once then reuse them many times. Some CASE tools do not exploit reusability in this way, but the trend in development technology is towards greater reusability so it seems very appropriate here.Dai CleggJuly 1994

The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business As Usual
Authors: Christopher Locke, David Weinberger, Doc Searls
Venue:  (2001)

:The Cluetrain Manifesto burst onto the scene in March of 1999 with ninety-five theses nailed up on the Web. Within days, www.cluetrain.com had ignited a vibrant global conversation challenging sacred corporate assumptions about the very nature of business in a digital world. Soon, executives across the country were lining up to sign the manifesto. This is the book that delivers on that buzz. Written by four of the liveliest voices on the Web, The Cluetrain Manifesto illustrates how, through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter-and getting smarter faster than most companies. Today's markets are conversations. Their members communicate in language that is natural, open, honest, direct, funny, and often shocking. Companies that aren't listening to these exchanges are missing a dire warning. Companies that aren't engaging in them are missing an unprecedented opportunity. The Cluetrain Manifesto gets its name from a veteran executive from a now defunct Fortune 500 firm describing his company's plummet by saying: "The clue train stopped here four times a day for ten years and they never took delivery." In other words, they didn't seize the opportunities that were before them, fell out of touch with their market, and lost to the competition as a result. The Cluetrain Manifesto takes you deeper into the new order of business than any other book this decade, presenting a stunning tapestry of anecdotes, object lessons, parodies, war stories, and suggestions, all aimed at illustrating what it will take to survive and prosper in the fast-forward world on the wire. Business as usual is gone forever-this is your wake-up call. About the Author:Rick Levine is the author of the Sun Guide to Web Style. Christopher Locke has worked for MCI and IBM, and has written extensively for Forbes, Information Week, Internet World, and The Industry Standard. Doc Searls is the senior editor for Linux Journal.
