Microsoft Project 2000 Bible with Cdrom
Venue:  (1999)

From the Book:Managing projects can be as exciting as scheduling the next space shuttle or as mundane as planning routine production-line maintenance. A project can be as rewarding as striking oil or as disastrous as the maiden voyage of the Titanic. Projects can have budgets of $5 or $5 million. One thing all projects have in common, however, is their potential for success or failure-the promise that if you do it right, you'll accomplish your goal. Why You Need This Book Microsoft Project is a tool for implementing project management principles and practices that can help you succeed. That's why this book provides not only the information about which buttons to press and where to type project dates, but also the conceptual framework to make computerized project management work for you. How it's designed This book strives to offer real-world examples of projects from many industries and disciplines. You'll see yourself and your own projects somewhere in this book. A wealth of tips and advice show you how to address, control, and overcome realworld constraints. As a tutorial. You can use the Microsoft Project 2000 Bible as a linear tool to learn Project-from the ground up. As a reference. You can put it on the shelf and use it as your Project reference book, to be pulled down as needed-for advice, information, and step-by-step procedures. Either way, this book is designed to enrich your Microsoft Project experience and make you a better project manager. Who it's for Unlike word processing or spreadsheet software, many of you may have come to project management software never having used anything quite like it before.

A Graph-Based Method for Face Identification from a Single 2D Line Drawing
Authors: Jianzhuang Liu, Yong Tsui Lee
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2001)

The faces in a 2D fine drawing of an object provide important information for the reconstruction of its 3D geometry. In this paper, a graph-based optimization method is proposed for identifying the faces is a line drawing. The face identification is formulated as a maximum weight clique problem. This formulation is proven to be equivalent to the formulation proposed by Shpitalni and Upson (1996). The advantage of our formulation is that it enables one to develop a much faster algorithm to find the faces in a drawing. The significant improvement in speed is derived from two algorithms provided: the depth-first graph search for quickly generating possible faces from a drawing; and the maximum weight clique finding for obtaining the optimal face configurations of the drawing. The experimental results shown that our algorithm generates the same results of face identification as Shpitalni and Lipson's method, but is much faster when dealing with objects of more than 20 faces

Finitary PCF is not decidable
Authors: Ralph Loader
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

The question of the decidability of the observational ordering of finitary PCF was raised (Jung and Stoughton, in: M. Bezem, J.F. Groote (Eds.), Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 664, Springer, Berlin, 1993, pp. 230-244) to give mathematical content to the full abstraction problem for PCF (Milner, Theoret. Comput. Sci. 4 (1977) 1-22). We show that the ordering is in fact undecidable. This result places limits on how explicit a representation of the fully abstract model can be. It also gives a slight strengthening of the author's earlier result on typed ability (Loader, in: A. Anderson, M. Zeleny (Eds.), Church Memorial Volume, Kluwer Academic Press, Dordrecht, to appear).

Putting the horse before the cart: preparing your staff for project management software
Authors: Dawn E. Irish
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

With the advent of robust project management software in the 1990s, project managers gained the potential to manage projects more efficiently than ever before. Unfortunately, as project management software became increasingly popular and training rushed to focus on the technical skills associated with project management, the understanding of its basic principles was lost. As successful project managers will attest, it is the inextricable relationship between project management software and the essential theoretical framework that makes projects work.Recently, the expectation has been that if an employee masters project management software he/she is qualified to manage projects. What organizations are finding out is that the software, although useful in many ways, cannot make up for a project manager's lack of organization, conflict resolution, and communication skills. The result-projects that are over-budget, over-schedule, and occasionally, over before they even begin!.This presentation is intended for technical and/or training professionals faced with rolling out a comprehensive project management program. A two-fold approach is essential; we will explore what project management software can and cannot do as well as the merits of understanding sound project management theory. At the conclusion of this presentation participants will have a strong understanding of the components necessary to design, implement, or reinvent their own project management training programs.Project management has been described as the ability to create the impossible, with the unwilling, against insurmountable odds, under budget, on time, while singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic and drinking a glass of water. Once you put the horse before the cart, it becomes considerably easier!.

Analysis of errors in network load measurements
Authors: Stanislav Belenki, Sven Tafvelin
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2000)

The paper identifies elements in network monitoring systems that cause errors in the load measurements found in recent reports on network statistics from an academic backbone network. Two types of network monitors are investigated: counter-based and packet capturing. The paper explains how to assign an accuracy term to the load values in case of counter-based monitors and how to eliminate distortion in the case of packet capturing monitors. The paper also suggests an MIB to reduce the counter-based measurement error.

Visio 2000 Developer's Survival Guide
Authors: Graham Wideman
Venue:  (2000)

:If you want to build robust, maintainable solutions with Visio's ShapeSheet and Automation development environments, you need to understand Visio's structure and behavior. Not just superficially, but in depth. The key challenges are these: A Comprehensive and Deep Understanding: The Visio environment gives a great head-start to your diagram-intensive solution project. However, a programmable diagramming environment is significantly more involved than, say, the automation models of Excel or Word. It's deceptively easy to get started in Visio, and you can advance a considerable distance with Visio's supplied Developing Visio Solutions book (essential!) and the Developer Help. But before long you'll need to build an extensive and detailed understanding of Visio's numerous functional areas, and that's very hard to assemble one nibble at a time from Help. The "Subtractive Programming Problem": Even once you've gained some capability with Visio, the other the "subtractive programming" problem. Great that you are able to based your solution on several features of Visio, but how do you disable all the features in Visio's huge array the you don't want exposed to your users? For that you need a knowledge of Visio far beyond just the functional areas directly relevant to your project. And you'll want to cover that territory quickly. The point of departure for this book is an overview of the Visio environment, and the structures that Visio-based solutions might take. Next, the entire Visio structure is laid out in organized and comprehensive diagrams and tables, so you can absorb it at full speed.Then each major area of Visio structure comes under scrutiny to discover how its behavior can be tamed and harnessed by developers.
Process-Centered Requirements Engineering
Authors: Klaus Pohl
Venue:  (1996)

:This book presents frameworks, models, and tool environments for process-centered requirements engineering. First, it gives a comprehensive overview of the state of research and practice in the field. Then, a two-pronged solution strategy is developed. A conceptual modelling framework describes the process along the three dimensions of representation (from informal to formal), specification completeness, and stakeholder agreement. From the special problems found in creative processes such as requirements engineering, the book derives a novel characterization of process-centered engineering environments and elaborates the architecture of a new generation of process-integrated CASE tools. The concepts have been validated in PRO-ART, a prototypical process-centered requirements engineering environment developed in the Esprit project NATURE.
DERIVE: a distributed platform for mixed reality interaction
Authors: Hauke Ernst, Martin Faust
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

This article describes a concept for and the realization of a distributed mixed reality platform. It allows to freely connect real and virtual components which can be located all over the world, integrating them into a homogenous environment. In the project DERIVE, this is applied to techinical training. Within this scope, the components of interest are electro-pneumatic parts like valves and cylinders, being connected by tubes and wires. Using the idea of swapping/merging real and virtual elements, the concept is supposed to support new demands for the training of multi-skilled technicians.

Comparing parallel multidimensional integration algorithms
Authors: I. Gladwell, M. A. Napierala
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

We consider the design and implementation of new parallel globally adaptive multidimensional numerical integration algorithms. We describe a pair of algorithms (implemented in MPI on an IBM SP2); one uses a master-slave paradigm and the other is genuinely distributed. Then, we describe modifications of these algorithms to take advantage of a singularity detection scheme. The most obvious competitors for globally adaptive schemes in high dimensions are algorithms based on lattice rules. We compare our globally adaptive strategy with the straightforward implementation of a lattice rule algorithm paying attention to the quality of the respective error estimates. The lattice rule algorithm implementations involve computing new "seeds" for larger numbers of points than used previously, a significant though straightforward computational task.

Attrition and fatigue: modeling the effects of crew size and crew fatigue on the control of Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (TUAVS)
Authors: Brett Walters, Jon French, Michael J. Barnes
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

The field element of the U.S. Army Research Lab (ARL) at Fort Huachuca, Arizona is concerned with the manning required to operate the close-range Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV). The operational requirements of the TUAV operators may include extended duty days, reduced crew size and varying shift schedules. These conditions are likely to reduce operator effectiveness due to fatigue. The objective of this study was to analyze how fatigue, crew size, and rotation schedule affect operator workload and performance during the control of a TUAV. The conclusions from executing the models indicate that reducing the number of operators currently recommended for the control of TUAVs results in 1) 33% more aerial vehicle (AV) mishaps during emergencies, 2) a 13% increase in the time it takes to search for targets, and 3) an 11% decrease in the number of targets detected. Over 400 mission scenario replications of the model were executed allowing statistically reliable predictions to be made of the effect of operator fatigue on performance. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) models may provide a cost effective means to estimate the impact of human limitations on military systems and highlight performance areas needing attention.
