Network Algebra
Authors: Gheorghe Stefănescu
Venue:  (2000)

:Network Algebra considers the algebraic study of networks and their behaviour. It contains general results on the algebraic theory of networks, recent results on the algebraic theory of models for parallel programs, as well as results on the algebraic theory of classical control structures. The results are presented in a unified framework of the calculus of flownomials, leading to a sound understanding of the algebraic fundamentals of the network theory." "The term 'network' is used in a broad sense within this book, as consisting of a collection of interconnecting cells, and two radically different specific interpretations of this notion of networks are studied. One interpretation is additive, when only one cell is active at a given time - this covers the classical models of control specified by finite automata or flowchart schemes. The second interpretation is multiplicative, where each cell is always active, covering models for parallel computation such as Petri nets or dataflow networks. More advanced settings, mixing the two interpretations are included as well." "Network Algebra will be of interest to anyone interested in network theory or its applications and provides them with the results needed to put their work on a firm basis. Graduate students will also find the material within this book useful for their studies.

Karel the Robot: A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Programming, 2nd edition
Authors: Richard E. Pattis
Venue:  (1994)

:Karel the Robot teaches you the fundamental concepts and skills of programming - quickly and easily! By emphasizing logic and structure over calculation, it provides a nonthreatening introduction to the central ideas in programming - the same ideas that apply to all computer programming languages. This widely-praised guide begins by introducing KAREL, a literal-minded robot whose built-in capabilities allow him to explore his world and manipulate simple objects in it. It then introduces KAREL's programming language (a block-structured language similar to Pascal), which emphasizes logical deduction and spatial reasoning rather than calculation and algebraic reasoning. Once you learn the details of KAREL's deceptively simple programming language, you will soon be designing well-structured programs that instruct KAREL to perform surprisingly complex tasks. Along the way, you will be absorbing sophisticated programming concepts that will enhance your programming ability! A software simulator for KAREL's programming language and world is available on a wide variety of mainframes and microcomputers - details inside.

A categorization of classes based on the visualization of their internal structure: the class blueprint
Authors: Michele Lanza, Stéphane Ducasse
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (2001)

The reengineering and reverse engineering of software systems is gaining importance in software industry, because the accelerated turnover in software industry, because the accelerated turnover in software companies creates legacy systems in a shorter period of time. Especially understanding classes is a key activity in object-oriented programming, since classes represent the primary abstractions from which applications are built. The main problem of this task is to quickly grasp the purpose of a class and its inner structure. To help the reverse engineers in their first contact with a foreign system, we propose a categorization of classes based on the visualization of their internal structure. The contributions of this paper are a novel categorization of classes and a visualization of the which we call the class blueprint. We have validated the categorization on several case studies, two of which we present here.

Application run time estimation: a quality of service metric for web-based data mining services
Authors: Shonali Krishnaswamy, Seng Wai Loke, Arkady Zaslavsky
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

The emergence of Application Service Providers (ASP) hosting Internet-based data mining services is being seen as a viable alternative for organisations that value their knowledge resources but are constrained by the high cost of data mining software. Response time is an important Quality of Service (QoS) metric for web-based data mining service providers. The ability to estimate the response time of data mining algorithms apriori benefits both clients and service providers. The advantage for the clients is that it helps to impose QoS constraints on the service level agreements and the benefit for the service-providers is that it facilitates optimising resource utilisation and scheduling. In this paper we present a novel rough sets based technique for identifying similarity templates to estimate application run times. We also present experimental results and analysis of this technique.

TCP congestion control with a misbehaving receiver
Authors: Stefan Savage, Neal Cardwell, David Wetherall, Tom Anderson
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (1999)

In this paper, we explore the operation of TCP congestion control when the receiver can misbehave, as might occur with a greedy Web client. We first demonstrate that there are simple attacks that allow a misbehaving receiver to drive a standard TCP sender arbitrarily fast, without losing end-to-end reliability. These attacks are widely applicable because they stem from the sender behavior specified in RFC 2581 rather than implementation bugs. We then show that it is possible to modify TCP to eliminate this undesirable behavior entirely, without requiring assumptions of any kind about receiver behavior. This is a strong result: with our solution a receiver can only reduce the data transfer rate by misbehaving, thereby eliminating the incentive to do so.

Discovering associations with numeric variables
Authors: Geoffrey I. Webb
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

This paper further develops Aumann and Lindell's [3] proposal for a variant of association rules for which the consequent is a numeric variable. It is argued that these rules can discover useful interactions with numeric data that cannot be discovered directly using traditional association rules with discretization. Alternative measures for identifying interesting rules are proposed. Efficient algorithms are presented that enable these rules to be discovered for dense data sets for which application of Auman and Lindell's algorithm is infeasible.

What's a trainer to do?
Authors: Bronwen Jean Heuer
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

The advent of web-based training has brought new challenges to the world of the trainer; indeed, in some places the acquisition of web-based courseware has meant the elimination of training departments. However, many organizations are now looking toward a "blended solution" where e-learning is integrated into training programs to create more numerous and more diverse options. This paper looks at web-based training from the trainer's perspective and focuses on three considerations. First, taking a close-up look at the product itself, I will consider not only the question How does the product compare with what we feel learning is? but also, How is the product evolving in the short period of time it has been in existence? In short, what is our selected vendor delivering? Second, answering the question "Now that we've bought it, what do we do with it?" I will consider the trainer's role in bringing about a blended solution. How do we market it to our learners and how do we use it with our courses? Finally, what is the impact of web-based training on our learning community and their perception of us as training providers? Who is using it? What is the dropout rate? What is it that promotes learner retention? What new expectations for training and training organizations are surfacing as a result of web-based training.

Mission Critical: Realizing the Promise of Enterprise Systems
Authors: Thomas H. Davenport
Venue:  (2000)

:How many organizations would doubt the promise of an integrated enterprise system (ES)? Not many, judging by a $15 billion industry. The combination of an ES as a platform for organizational information and Internet technology for gaining access to it adds up to the ideal solution for company-wide data sharing in real time. Not surprisingly, small and large companies worldwide are either considering an ES, in the process of implementing one, or living with the results. Yet, says Tom Davenport, unless managers view ES adoption and implementation as a business decision rather than a technology decision, they may be risking disappointment Mission Critical presents an authoritative and no-nonsense view of the ES opportunities and challenges. Suggesting ESs are not the right choice for every company, the author provides a set of guidelines to help managers evaluate the benefits and risks for their organizations. To be successful, argues Davenport, an organization must make simultaneous changes in its information systems, its business processes, and its business strategy. Such changes are described in detail with extensive examples from real organizations. Bolstering his contention that ESs should be viewed as business vs. technology projects, Davenport spells out the specific business change objectives that should be formulated in advance of ES adoption and monitored throughout its implementation. The first strategic guide to the ES decision, Mission Critical will be indispensable to general managers and information technology specialists at all stages of the implementation process.
