Beginning Java 2
Authors: Ivor Horton
Venue:  (1999)

:This is the second edition of Ivor Horton's best-selling Beginning Java (1861000278). It has been fully revised for the Java 2 platform and now covers the Java Foundation Classes (Swing and Java2D) and the Collections API. The Java 2 platform is an important stage in the evolution of Java as a serious programming tool. There are no substantial changes to the language  instead JavaSoft have focussed on extending class library support for common programming tasks. Assuming no knowledge of Java, and making only basic assumptions of prior programming experience, Ivor teaches the Java language from scratch and then shows you how to use some of the comprehensive packages that make up the Java platform. A key part of this is the iterative development of a large graphical example over several chapters. This is the self-study guide for Java. Its structured tutorial approach means that each chapter and each section within a chapter builds on those that have gone before. Theory is accompanied by a fully working example, and an explanation of how it works.|QUOTE: Ivor Horton on Java "In all the years I have been programming and teaching people about computers, I have never come across a language that offers the power and flexibility of Java and all for free! Java is an extraordinarily easy language to learn and use, and is ideal for the beginner. In the last year, Java as a development tool has matured significantly and the capability of the class libraries has expanded immensely (the number of classes in the JDK 1.2 has tripled over JDK 1.1). Some things are a lot easier, but the new and improved classes mean you can do so much more! Whether it's animating your web pages, creating full-featured windows applications or accessing a database, you can do it with Java. With my book you can learn Java plus the techniques you need for success with you own projects."|TOC:Introducing JavaPrograms, Data, Variables and CalculationLoops and LogicArrays and StringsDefining ClassesExtending Classes and InheritanceExceptionsStreams, Files and Stream OutputStream Input and Object StreamsUtility ClassesThreads Creating WindowsHandling EventsDrawing in a WindowExtending the GUIFiling and Printing DocumentsImages and AnimationTalking to DatabasesThe JDBC in Action|AUTHORBIO: After countless years in the computer industry both doing and managing, Ivor has taken up writing on programming topics for relaxation.

Strategies for personal process improvement a comparison
Authors: Rory O'Connor, Gerry Coleman
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Every so often, a new methodology is launched onto the software engineering landscape with all the force of a religious crusade. From its humble beginnings Software Process Improvement (SPI) has spread its wings into virtually every sector of the software engineering community and in the process has transformed itself from a bag of tools and techniques, into a serious set of methodologies for enhancing organisational effectiveness and competitive success. In the latter half of the 1990's, individual SPI methodologies such as PSP [1] and PIPSI [2] were promulgated as approaches to make the individual a better software engineer.Surveys of European software organisations [3] have shown support for SPI. In Europe to date, SPI programmes have concentrated at the organisational level, with less adoption at the level of the individual. This paper explores the role of individual-level methodologies in a European context and details the results of a series of experiments conducted by the authors.

Data visualization for strategic decision making
Authors: Angela Shen-Hsieh, Mark Schindl
Venue: Case studies of the CHI2002|AIGA Experience Design FORUM (2002)

Organizations large and small continuously strive to improve strategic decision-making. Strategic decision-making (distinguished from operational decision making) involves making substantial investments of resources over long periods of time before results are evident. These decisions are made using quantitative and qualitative information - experience, intuition, and subjective assessment. These are people decisions, not decisions made by machines.So, how can data interfaces be designed to support these most critical decisions of the organization?This case study looks at approaches taken with one R&D (research and development) client to address their key strategic decisions: whether to move research efforts into the next stage of development or cancel the project. We will discuss how we've used web-based interface technologies to create visual metaphors for data including: visualizing time, collaborating, and modeling scenarios. We'll also demonstrate approaches to embedding more abstract constructs like decision theory, statistical analysis, and competitive advantage into these interfaces.

Myth of the Electronic Library: Librarianship and Social Change in America
Authors: William F. Birdsall
Venue:  (1994)

:Librarians create myths to explain themselves to society and to generate support for their profession. Confronted with social change, there are two contending myths: the myth of the library as place, and the myth of the electronic library which is promulgated as the new vision for the information age. This book challenges the assumptions and values of the myth of the electronic library in an attempt to encourage librarians to assess their profession in a time of social change.
On data error control problems in medical information systems
Authors: T. C. Ting, Fred R. Sias,  Jr., Eric Campbell
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

The problem of data error control is one of the significant issues in the design of medical information systems which are used for supporting medical decision making. High degree of accuracy of information is necessary when human health problems are involved.A literature survey was conducted and an examination of several existing computerized medical information systems was made. The results indicate that many systems now in use have not adequately designed to implement fully the data error control techniques now available for minimizing the data errors. The situation may be improved by carefully introducing these techniques into the information processing procedures. It also suggests that further research should be undertaken in order to develop better suited data error detecting and correcting techniques for medical information systems.A systematic analysis was made to identify the sources and the causes of the data errors in medical information processing procedures both in mannual as well as in automated systems. Data errors are classified and are discussed along with the logical data flow in a typical medical information processing model. The characteristics of the data items involved, the data structures, the nature of the data errors, and the possible data error control methods are disscussed.

GRASP: an interactive system for graphic specification of software
Authors: Larry K. Cottrell, David A. Workman
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

GRASP is an interactive system for software specification currently being developed at Florida Technological University. The system is perhaps unique in that programs are graphically displayed in the form of D-charts as the user enters text from a terminal. The philosophy motivating the design of GRASP is summarized by the following principles: (1) to improve programmer effectiveness, "high-level languages" must give way to "high-level systems" for software development; (2) to avoid obsolete or inaccurate documentation, changes to "source code" should be automatically generated as the result of changes made to a program's description; (3) to insure greater understanding of a program's fuction and behavior, the principles underlying structured programming should be applied in its design and organization; (4) documentation of a program should not be static if the program itself is not static; therefore, the program should be viewed as a "data-base" from which the programmer can extract information immediately relevant to his concern and comprehension of the program.GRASP will ultimately support a command language which will: (1) describe software modules in terms of single-entry/single-exit control structures; (2) edit data and program files; (3) interactively execute programs or program modules; (4) obtain information about programs; and (5) translate programs into conventional high-level languages.At the present time, we have succeeded in implementing the part of GRASP that provides for the description and display of program modules as single-entry/single exit control structures. The system is being developed on an IBM 370/165 and is currently accessable via a Tektronics terminal.

Predictive targeted movement in electronic spaces
Authors: Susanne Jul
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

The lodestones and leylines interaction technique simplifies navigation in electronic spaces by coordinating physical and conceptual movement-gently constraining motion to follow automatically computed paths to predicted destinations. This approach simplifies physical movement, ensures that movement leads to interesting locations and supports navigation to locations not visible from the current location. It is illustrated in a spatial multiscale environment where pilot data show reliable performance improvements.

Analytical Modeling of Wormhole-Routed k-Ary n-Cubes in the Presence of Hot-Spot Traffic
Authors: Hamid Sarbazi-Azad, Mohamed Ould-Khaoua, Lewis M. Mackenzie
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

Several analytical models of fully adaptive routing have recently been proposed for wormhole-routed k-ary n-cubes under the uniform traffic pattern. However, there has been hardly any model reported yet that deals with other important nonuniform traffic patterns, such as hot-spots. As a result, most studies have resorted to simulation when evaluating the performance merits of adaptive routing. In an effort to fill this gap, this paper describes the first analytical model of fully adaptive routing in k-ary n-cubes in the presence of hot-spot traffic. Results from simulation show close agreement with those predicted by the model.
