Dhcp for Windows
Authors: Neall Alcott
Venue:  (2000)

:Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an open standard Internet protocol used to allocate and manage IP addresses dynamically. Before DHCP came along, administrators had to manually configure each host on a network with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Maintaining the changes and the associated logs took a tremendous amount of time and was prone to error. DHCP uses a client/server model in which the system updates and maintains the network information dynamically. Windows 2000 provides enhanced DHCP client-server support. DHCP for Windows 2000 is custom-designed for system administrators who are responsible for configuring and maintaining networks with Windows 2000 servers. It explains the DHCP protocol and how to install and manage DHCP on both servers and clientsincluding client platforms other than Windows 2000. Readers get detailed and explicit instructions for using Windows 2000 DHCP to manage their network IP configurations much more efficiently and effectively.They get background information for using DHCP in general, plus complete information about the Windows 2000 use of DHCP. For those interested in what's on the horizon, the author steps up to the plate with an analysis of the future direction of DHCP and Windows support for IPv6.

On the Almost Strong Stability of the Circular Deconvolution Algorithm
Authors: Plamen Y. Yalamov
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

The stability of the circular deconvolution algorithm for the solution of a circulant linear system is studied. This algorithm is known to be not strongly stable. The notion of almost strong stability is introduced, and it is shown that it leads to results similar to those for strongly stable algorithms. Then it is proved that the circular deconvolution algorithm based on fast Fourier transforms is almost strongly stable with respect to the 2-norm. A numerical example illustrates the theoretical conclusions.
Creative Thinking in PhotoShop
Authors: Sharon Steuer
Venue:  (2002)

:Flex your creative muscles by exploring how Photoshop can unlock your creative potential. Traditional artists porting their skills to new media and inexperienced digital artists need to learn how to approach their work using digital toolsespecially Photoshoprather than relying solely on paper and pencil methods of conceptualization. While there are books that walk users through tool sets or recipes for effects, none of these books focus on enhancing the creative process. Steuer explores the many facets of the creative process and underscores how they can be incorporated into the workflow of the digital artist.
A Global and Local Superlinear Continuation-Smoothing Method for P0 and R0 NCP or Monotone NCP
Authors: Bintong Chen, Xiaojun Chen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

We propose a continuation method for a class of nonlinear complementarity problems (NCPs), including the NCP with a P0 and R0 function and the monotone NCP with a feasible interior point. The continuation method is based on a class of Chen--Mangasarian smoothing functions. Unlike many existing continuation methods, the method follows noninterior smoothing paths, and, as a result, initial points can be easily constructed. In addition, we introduce a procedure to dynamically update the neighborhoods associated with the smoothing paths, so that the algorithm is both globally convergent and locally superlinearly convergent under suitable assumptions. Finally, a hybrid continuation-smoothing method is proposed and is shown to have the same convergence properties under weaker conditions.

Dyadic execute
Authors: Richard H. Oates
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1984)

The quotes that distinguish a constant from a name are inconvenient in an expression dominated by constants, and they critically overload the quote character if monadic Execute is also used. When constants predominate, the declarative burden can be shifted to the names by means of a dyadic Execute function that takes a list of "names" as its left argument. A token in the right argument that does not appear in the left argument is a constant even when not enclosed in quotes. This technique would be useful to the programmer in a variety of ways, and it suggests two related functions for the user: an evaluated but nameless input for commands and data entry, and a primitive for text processing that would partition but not evaluate its argument. The new primitives would not extend the language so much as they would vary an existing function, bringing certain of its properties under explicit control. (The models of the new primitives use a function-definition statement based on &alpha;&piv;-notation. The compiler for the statement uses the statement extensively, and it can also recompile itself.)

Optimizing systems by work schedules: (a stochastic approach)
Authors: William J. Ray, Luqi, Valdis Berzins
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

Many systems have very predictable points in time where the usage of a network changes. These systems are usually characterized by shift changes where the manning and functions performed change from shift to shift. We propose a pro-active optimization approach that uses predictable indicators like manning schedules, season, mission, and other foreseeable periodic events to configure distributed object servers. Object-Oriented computing is fast becoming the de-facto standard for software development and distributed object servers are becoming more common as transaction rates increase.Optimal deployment strategies for object servers change due to variations in object servers, client applications, operational missions, hardware modifications, and various other changes to the environment.As distributed object servers become more prevalent, there is more need to optimize the deployment of object servers to best serve the end user's changing needs. A system that automatically generates object server deployment strategies would allow users to take full advantage of their network of computers.The proposed method profiles object servers, client applications, user inputs and network resources. These profiles determine an optimization model that is solved to produce an optimal deployment strategy for the predicted upcoming usage by the users of the system of computers and servers.The validity of the model was tested by experimental measurement. A test bed was created and different manning schedules were simulated. The results of the experimentation showed that the average response time for a user could be improved by altering the deployment of the servers according to the scheduled manning of the system. The model was robust in the sense that the deployments that produced optimal response times in the model also produced optimal or near-optimal response times in the actual implementation of the test-bed.

The ninf portal: an automatic generation tool for grid portals
Authors: Toyotaro Suzumura, Hidemoto Nakada, Masayuki Saito, Satoshi Matsuoka, Yoshio Tanaka, Satoshi Sekiguchi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande (2002)

As the Grid proliferates as the next-generation computing infrastructure, a user interface in the form of "Grid Portals" is becoming increasingly important, especially for computational scientists and engineers. Although several Grid Portal toolkits have been proposed, portal developers still must build and deploy both the user interface and the application, which results in considerable programming efforts. We aim to ease this burden by generating a portal frontend (that constitutes of JSP and Java Servlets) from an XML document for the former, and a GridRPC system, Ninf-G for easily "gridifying" existing applications for the latter, and realizing their seamless integration. The resulting system, which we call the Ninf Portal, allowed concise description and easy deployment of a real Grid application with greatly small programming efforts.
Designing earcons with musical grammars
Authors: John C. K. Hankinson, Alistair D. N. Edwards
Venue: Issue 65 (September 1999) (1999)

Many blind and partially-sighted computer users have come to rely on auditory computer interfaces to interact with their computer. By recognising sounds made by the computer, blind users can extract information from the auditory display which is presented visually to sighted users. Sighted users can also benefit from using an auditory interface in conjunction with their existing visual display.Earcons have evolved as a means of representing concepts in such auditory displays as short sound motives. These motives usually consist of a small number of notes, with a distinct rhythm and dynamic contour. They are constructed according to rules devised by Blattner [1] and developed by Brewster et al. [2, 3]. Although they appear to be musical fragments, many fundamental musical concepts are not taken into account during their design.In fact, many early earcon designers tended restrict the maximum number of notes within an earcon to four, as any longer sequence would have a melodic connotation. The presence of a tune was thought to be distracting and hence the use of musical tensions, etc. was avoided. Instead of shying away from the powerful capabilities music affords, it is postulated here that musical structures should be used to our advantage, to remove the tight restrictions placed upon the design of earcons.It is proposed that the use of a musical grammar during the design of a set of earcons can impose a number of valuable constraints upon the choice of earcon motif. These constraints are advantageous as they allow a basic structure to be built into the surface form of each earcon. This in turn allows only certain combinations of earcons to combine with each other. A grammatical property is therefore imposed upon the interface which provides extra feedback to the user when inappropriate combinations occur.
