Authors: Mark Beaulieu
Venue:  (2002)

Wireless Internet Applications and Architecture: Building Professional Wireless Applications Worldwide is a comprehensive technical overview of wireless Internet technology, applications, and content issues. The wireless Internet of the future will be able to serve large, specialized market segments with new devices, services, and content through wide bandwidth (MMDS, GPRS) and always-on capability, offering people the freedom to communicate in ways they never have before. Divided into three easy-to-follow parts, the book begins with an introduction to the wireless Internet, the language, and the core wireless concepts. This part examines the trends, forces, and organizations that are shaping the growth of wireless Internet technology. The next part shows how to create mobile personas and wireless applications and make them effective. The chapters here tackle how to construct messaging, browsing, and interactive and conversational voice portal applications by highlighting application code and examples of mobile content. In the final part, components of wireless architecture are described so that readers can learn about wireless WAN, LAN, and PAN standards and practices and XML server strategies, as well as the effect wireless architectural elements are having on the market. An added plus is the discussion on mCommerce servers---the next step in eCommerce---and location-based applications that enable users to make purchases from mobile devices.
Linux Core Kernel Commentary
Authors: Scott Maxwell
Venue:  (1999)

:Linux Core Kernel Commentary is divided into two parts: code and commentary. The code is listed and numbered sequentially and corresponds to the commentary in the second part of the book. In addition, the commentary is cross-referenced back to the code in the first part of the book. Covers the following main subsystems of the Linux kernel: Memory Manager, Process Scheduler, and Inter-Process Communication. Also covers interrupts, signals, system initialization, symmetric multiprocessing, and the sysctl interface. Covers the nucleus of the code, including design and architecture. Adopts and extends the method used by the famous Lion's Commentary on Unix, (isbn1-57398-013-7) which still is a much sought after title even 20 years after publication. Uses a horizontal format (11" x 8 3/8" trim size) which allows for exhaustive cross-referencing, space for easy-to-read columns of code, and the book to stay flat while open. Over 39,000 lines of code are excerpted and explained in detail. Includes extensive cross-referencing and architectural flow charts to enhance understanding of the structure of the code. Linux Core Kernel Commentary is currently the only commentary-style book available on the Linux core kernel. Covers the newest 2.2 version of the Linux kernel, released in January 1999. Includes the Linux code. Includes software that allows the code to be easily searched for specific features.
Performance evaluation of the SGI Origin2000: a memory-centric characterization of LANL ASCI applications
Authors: Harvey J. Wassermann, Olaf M. Lubeck, Yong Luo, Federico Bassetti
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

In this paper we compare single-processor performance of the SGI Origin and PowerChallenge and utilize a previously-reported performance model for hierarchical memory systems to explain the results. Both the Origin and PowerChallenge use the same microprocessor (MIPS R10000) but have significant differences in their memory subsystems. Our memory model includes the effect of overlap between CPU and memory operations and allows us to infer the individual contributions of all three improvements in the Origin's memory architecture and relate the effectiveness of each improvement to application characteristics.

Ontology-based metadata generation from semi-structured information
Authors: Heiner Stuckenschmidt, Frank van Harmelen
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Knowledge capture (2001)

Content-related metadata plays an important role in intelligent information systems. Especially on the world-wide web meaningful metadata describing the contents of a web-site is the key to intelligent retrieval and access of information. Metadata description standards like RDF and RDF schema have been developed and work in progress addresses the use of ontologies to provide a logical foundation for metadata. However, the acquisition of appropriate metadata is still a problem. The main part of the paper is concerned with the specification of ontologies and metadata models. We describe the Spectacle approach, a knowledge-based approach for metadata validation and generation as well as tools related to the ontology language OIL. We conclude that the specification of ontologies and the generation of metadata models are processes that supplement each other and propose a method for semi-automatic generation of metadata models on the basis of ontologies.
Color patterns for pictorial content description
Authors: Daniela Stan, Ishwar K. Sethi
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

In this paper, we propose a new type of image feature, which consists of patterns of colors and intensities that capture the latent associations among images and primitive features in such a way that the noise and redundancy are minimized. Incorporating our feature model into a Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system moves the research in image retrieval beyond simple matching of images based on their primitive features and creates a ground for learning image semantics from visual content. A system developed using our proposed feature model, will have the capability of learning associations between not only semantic concepts and images, but also between semantic concepts and patterns. We evaluated the performance of our system based on the retrieval accuracy and on the perceptual similarity order among retrieved images. When compared to standard image retrieval methods, our preliminary results show that, even if the feature space was reduced to a significantly lower dimensional space, the accuracy and perceptual similarity for our system remain the same or better depending on the category of images.

An evolutionary algorithm for reducing integrated-circuit test application time
Authors: F. Corno, M. Sonza Reorda, G. Squillero
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

The cost for testing integrated circuits represents a growing percentage of the total cost for their production. The former strictly depends on the length of the test session, and its reduction has been the target of many efforts in the past. This paper proposes a new method for reducing the test length by adopting a new architecture and exploiting an evolutionary optimization algorithm. A prototype of the proposed approach was tested on ISCAS standard benchmarks and the experimental results show its effectiveness.
A Teacher's Project Guide to the Internet
Authors: Kevin R. Crotchett
Venue:  (1997)

:Imagine journeying with your students to a far-off museum. Discussing what you see with artists and museum staff. Creating your own artworks. Sharing them with children from schools around the world. And never leaving the confines of your own classroom. Learning adventures like these are already a reality for members of the global community known as the Internet. But too many teachers have been denied access to this rich and important world due to lack of time, resources, or expert guidance. This book provides all three. Written by a teacher for teachers, A Teacher's Project Guide to the Internet walks readers through the Internet, step by step, suggesting a host of creative and exciting classroom projects along the way. These ideas come complete with Web site addresses plus a disk (compatible with IBM and Macintosh System 7.5 systems) that provides direct access (through your Web browser) to all the sites noted in the appendixes. This highly practical feature will save readers countless hours of browsing time, enabling them to immediately implement projects. Both experienced "Internauts" and teachers just getting on-line will appreciate the book's straightforward organization. Crotchett begins with one of the easiest and most commonly used protocols--e mail--then gradually progresses to more sophisticated topics like newsgroups, file transfer protocol, and creating Web sites. Also included are overviews of the Internet's fundamental structure and history. While aspects of these subjects have been dealt with in periodical articles and general how-to books, until now there has been no comprehensive book specifically written for K-12 teachers that combines Internet basics, specifically identified Web sites, and high-quality Internet-based projects. Considering that most educators already have more to do than time allows, A Teacher's Project Guide to the Internet will be immensely useful.

Structural Graph Matching Using the EM Algorithm and Singular Value Decomposition
Authors: Bin Luo, Edwin R. Hancock
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2001)

This paper describes an efficient algorithm for inexact graph matching. The method is purely structural, that is, it uses only the edge or connectivity structure of the graph and does not draw on node or edge attributes. We make two contributions: 1) commencing from a probability distribution for matching errors, we show how the problem of graph matching can be posed as maximum-likelihood estimation using the apparatus of the EM algorithm; and 2) we cast the recovery of correspondence matches between the graph nodes in a matrix framework. This allows one to efficiently recover correspondence matches using the singular value decomposition. We experiment with the method on both real-world and synthetic data. Here, we demonstrate that the method offers comparable performance to more computationally demanding methods
