A simplified deformation for real-time 3D character animation
Authors: Sang-Won Ghyme, Ki-Hong Kim, Hyun-Bin Kim
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2000)

The basic ideas for realistic and real-time animation of 3D character are described through three steps. First, we just choose two deformations among all kinds of deformations that happen in the human body, because these deformations are globally noticed and can be performed in real-time. Second, we decide what body parts of a character are deformed from the anthropometrics data. Last, we propose simple and fast implementations for two deformations. Using proposed ideas, the authoring tool that make a deformable character from a rigid polygon model and test deformation of it, is introduced. And the animation player to animate a deformable character generated from the authoring tool is also introduced.

Modular implementation of an instrument set-up program
Authors: Thomas A. Ball, Eugene M. Strand, Dimitry Zissermann
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual Southeast regional conference (1979)

The Clinical Cardiology Computer Center (CCCC) of the University of Alabama in Birmingham has in operation a medlum-slze process control computer with a standard multlprogrammlng executive and a special sub-executlve for allocating system facilities to simultaneous users. (1,2) Two coronary care units (CCUs) and two cardiac catheterization labs (COLa) are connected to this computer. (3) In the CCU, the computer is used for calculating parameters from physiological signals sensed from critically ill patients who have suffered a heart attack or chest pain. (4) Measurements from the CCLs are useful in assessing the necessity and efficacy of surgical procedures, such as coronary bypass and valve replacements.This paper describes the use of the instrument set-up programs (ISP) in setting up physiological signals to the computer, the top-down design of the ISP system, and the structure of the system of programs.

Privacy-Enhanced Business: Adapting to the Online Environment
Authors: Curtis D. Frye
Venue:  (2000)

:"With more than 200 million people online, a growing concern of users is the perceived threat to personal privacy. A trend toward consumer protective legislation is developing in Europe and shows signs of developing in the United States. Frye examines the new online environment, the national and international legislative scenarios that could affect the way online business is done, and proposes steps that would allow organizations to determine their best policy options within privacy-enhanced environments. He lays out the privacy interests and concerns of Internet users in the context of privacy laws in Europe, Canada, and the United States. Then, without demonizing or lionizing them, he looks impartially at how corporations would have to function under a variety of regulatory scenarios. Frye's book, among the first to attempt the task, is a timely, much needed advisory - and warning - for top echelon executives in both the public and private sectors, particularly in marketing and sales areas - where privacy activists are concentrating their efforts."--BOOK JACKET.
A picture is worth a thousand words: art indexing in electronic databases
Authors: Helene E. Roberts
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

The enormous number of images of works of art available on the Internet promises great potential for research in art history and related image-using disciplines. Yet without adequate indexing, this resource is very difficult to explore. It is certainly necessary to identify each image with the basic unique information relating to it, but more is needed. Since it is largely the concepts related to works of art that interest art historians, it is these concepts that need to be reflected in indexing terminology. As these concepts have changed over time, a sizeable verbal infrastructure is needed to support the indexing of large image databases to achieve maximum use by art historians.
Radiosity: A Programmer's Perspective
Authors: Ian Ashdown
Venue:  (1994)

:Once the exclusive domain of a handful of academic researchers working with high-powered graphics workstations, now you can use radiosity to create extremely realistic, true-color images using off-the-shelf personal computers. Radiosity offers the ability to accurately render diffuse reflections, color bleeding between surfaces, realistic shadows, and detailed shading within shadows. More than this, it can create photorealistic images that are impossible to achieve using conventional ray tracing techniques. This book offers you a unique opportunity to explore this technology in depth. Radiosity: A Programmer's Perspective provides step-by-step guidance for the development of a fully functional, radiosity-based rendering program for Microsoft Windows and other graphical environments, including a detailed explanation of radiosity theory and its associated algorithms (no knowledge of higher mathematics required!); complete, fully documented, and compiler-independent C++ source code for HELIOS, a radiosity renderer for Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows NT; plus an extensive guide to the computer graphics radiosity literature.
Road Ahead
Authors: Bill Gates
Venue:  (1994)

:What is the information highway? How will the new technology change our lives? Do I have to learn to use a computer? Will my job become obsolete? Welcome to The Road Ahead. We have all been bombarded by the seemingly endless hype about the information highway and the coming age of technology. Now, Bill Gates - who built Microsoft into one of the most successful companies in the world - gives us his vision of what the future holds for us. The Road Ahead is his bird's-eye view of the undiscovered territory on the information highway - an authoritative, thought-provoking, and very readable travel guide for the journey. In this optimistic and refreshingly realistic book, Gates looks ahead to show how the emerging technologies of the digital age will transform all our lives. As he says, we are on the brink of a new revolution, and crossing a technology threshold that will forever change the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other.

Linearity and multicursality in World Wide Web documentaries
Authors: Anders Fagerjord
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

Are non-fiction Web sites nonlinear like literary hypertexts, or linear like film and print? A study of magazine articles, television documentaries and Web sites by the National Geographic Society reveals that in spite of linking, the Web sites make just as linear reading experiences as the older media, although less creative. The study gives nuance to conceptions of linearity and nonlinearity by studying what linearity really is, thus setting nonlinearity in relief. A number of techniques to tie gaps in the reading line together are identified in films and articles. It is argued that by using these techniques in linking, both better reading experiences and less linearity in Web sites could be achieved.
