Mobile Fading Channels: Modelling,Analysis and Simulation
Authors: Matthias Patzold
Venue:  (2001)

:Mobile Channel Fading is a loss in transmission intensity caused by changes in the transmission medium. Conventionally, the multiplicative processes in the channel can be subdivided into three types of fading - path loss, shadowing (or slow fading) and multipath fading (or fast fading). A well-founded knowledge of the mobile fading channel is indispensable for the development, evaluation and test of present and future mobile communication systems. By dealing with the modelling, analysis and simulation of mobile fading channels, this text provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of many issues that are currently being investigated in the area of mobile fading channel modelling. The main topics addressed in the book are: · Fundamentals of stochastic and deterministic channel models · Modelling and simulation of frequency-nonselective fading channels (e.g. Rayleigh channels, Rice channels, generalized Rice channels, Nakagami channels, various types of Suzuki channel models, classical and modified Loo-model) · Modelling and simulation of frequency-selective fading channels (WSSUS-model, DGUS-model, channel models specified by COST 207) · Methods for the design and realisation of efficient channel simulators · Design, realization and analysis of fast channel simulators A comprehensive presentation of the modelling, analysis and simulation of mobile fading channels, further features of this text include: · Provides a fundamental understanding of key issues currently being investigated in the area of mobile fading channel modelling · Features numerous MATLAB programs for the evaluation and simulation of mobile fading channels A valuable reference resource fortelecommunications engineers, electrical engineers, computer scientists and physicists working in industry or research centres in the field of wireless communications.
Piloting Palm: The inside Story of Palm, Handspring, and the Birth of the Billion-Dollar Handheld Industry, 1st edition
Authors: Andrea Butter, David Pogue
Venue:  (2002)

:The definitive behind-the-scenes story of the visionary team that launched the handheld industry Palm insider Andrea Butter and New York Times columnist David Poguewith full, exclusive cooperation of the companys founders and more than fifty key Palm and Handspring executivestell the riveting tale of the start of an industry constantly in the headlines. The origins of this volatile industry began with the tiny team who beat staggering odds to turn the PalmPilot into a billion-dollar market and later took their ultimate vision to Handspring, now Palms most powerful rival. Many of todays current events relating to the competition in this industry are forecasted in this important business drama. The authors take an unprecedented look at how the visionary founders of the industry led one of the most successful startups in history to succeed against all oddsincluding a shoestring budget, shortsighted corporate partners, and competition from Microsoft. The roller-coaster ride is full of insight into the bungles of venture capitalists, the allure and pitfalls of partnerships with giant corporations, and the steely determination needed to maintain entrepreneurial and visionary independence. With gripping accounts of the last-minute crises that almost torpedoed the PalmPilot on the eve of its unveiling, and the triumphant, unprecedented reception of Palm in the marketplace, as well as the glimpses into the future of this industry, this book is as entertaining as it is instructional. Key revelations include: *The principles of business, economy, and product design that led Palm to succeed where billion-dollar corporations like Apple, Motorola,and Casio had failed. *Important moments in technological development of the handheld such as the secret "Easter egg," a software surprise planted in the Palm software that nearly sank launch plans. *Unique insight into the showdown with Microsoft, and 3Coms tragic decision not to make Palm independent that led Jeff and Donna to take their vision elsewhere. *The ongoing competition between Palm and Handspring. The new rivals to contend with including Sony.

Efficient static single assignment form for predication
Authors: Arthur Stoutchinin, Francois de Ferriere
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

We present a framework that allows translation of predicated code into the static single assignment (SSA) form, and simplifies application of the SSA-based optimizations to predicated code. In particular, we represent predicate join points in the program by the &Psi;-functions similar to the &Phi;-functions of the basic SSA. The SSA-based optimizations (such as constant propagation) can be applied to predicated code by simply specifying additional rules for processing the &Psi;-functions. We present efficient algorithms for constructing, and then for removing the &Psi;-functions at the end of SSA processing. Our algorithm for translating out of the &Psi;-SSA splits predicated live ranges into smaller live ranges active under disjoint predicates. The experimental evaluation on a set of predicated benchmarks demonstrates efficiency of our approach.

Total Contingency Planning for Diasters: Managing Risk...Minimizing Loss...Ensuring Business Continuity
Authors: Kenneth N. Myers
Venue:  (1993)

:As modern organizations grow more dependent on computerized systems and other technologies, it becomes increasingly important that management develop disaster recovery and business continuation programs that minimize damaging disruptions as well as the costs of doing so. Kenneth Myers, one of the world's foremost innovators in the field of contingency planning, now provides you with a time-tested, copyrighted plan development process that you can readily adapt to your own organization to ensure business continuity and cost savings. While other books offer contingency solutions that are difficult to understand and even more costly to implement, Total Contingency Planning for Disasters presents an unusually clear, step-by-step model for developing, testing, and maintaining a cost-effective, long-range strategic plan that can stand up to natural, environmental, and man-made disasters - as well as the scrutiny of auditors. Myers lays the foundation by prompting you to take a good, hard look at your present recovery strategy and consider how well it protects specific business units, how effective it would be in minimizing disruptions in the face of potential disasters and how much it costs. What you'll doubtless discover is that your present plan is only a computer recovery plan that fails to account for other areas of exposure, including telephone communications and vital facilities. What's more, you'll learn that your existing plan overlooks cost-reduction opportunities, that there is a lot of uncertainty about what systems are really critical, and that your plan was probably put together by people other than those who are ultimately going to carry it out. Your next step is to turn to the Myers process, which considers the possible disasters that could befall you and their impact on all the vital aspects of your business - not just computer processing. This book helps you lay out plan objectives, including prevention, safeguarding assets, business continuity, and The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery.

The Global Power of Additional Queries to P-Random Oracles
Authors: Wolfgang Merkle
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

We consider separations of reducibilities by random sets. First, we show a result on polynomial time-bounded reducibilities that query their oracle nonadaptively: for every p-random set R, there is a set that is reducible to R with k+1 queries but is not reducible to any other p-random set with at most k queries. This result solves an open problem stated in a recent survey paper by Lutz and Mayordomo [EATCS Bulletin, 68 (1999), pp. 64--80]. Second, we show that the separation result above can be transferred from the setting of polynomial time-bounds to a setting of rec-random sets and recursive reducibilities. This extends the main result of Book, Lutz, and Martin [Inform. and Comput., 120 (1995), pp. 49--54] who, by using different methods, showed a similar separation with respect to Martin-Löf-random sets. Moreover, in both settings we obtain similar separation results for truth-table versus bounded truth-table reducibility.
Computational intelligence as an emerging paradigm of software engineering
Authors: Witold Pedrycz
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Software Engineering is inherently knowledge intensive. Software processes and products are human centered. The technology of Computational Intelligence (CI) intensively exploits various mechanisms of interaction with humans and processes domain knowledge with intent of building intelligent systems. As commonly perceived, CI dwells on three highly synergistic technologies of neural networks, fuzzy sets (or granular computing, in general) and evolutionary optimization. As the software complexity grows and the diversity of software systems skyrocket, it becomes apparent that there is a genuine need for a solid, efficient, designer-oriented vehicle to support software analysis, design, and implementation at various levels. The research agenda makes CI a highly compatible and appealing vehicle to address the needs of knowledge rich environment of Software Engineering. The objective of this study is to identify and discuss synergistic links emerging between Software Engineering and Computational Intelligence. We show how CI --- based models contribute to the methodology of constructing models of software processes and products. Several selected examples (including software cost estimation, quality, and software measures) are included.
