Spreadsheets for Architects
Authors: Leonard R. Bachman, David J. Thaddeus
Venue:  (1997)

:Spreadsheets for Architects packs a bundle of architectural software into one very compact design tool made to save time and money. This package of ready-to-run templates and companion guidebook incorporates the most useful features of number crunching, database management, technical graphics, word processing, and desktop publishing programs into a single resource. Using the 19 Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet templates tailored specifically to architecture you can easily explore the numerous options in the preliminary stages of technical design, avoid costly redesign during the concluding stages of a project, and identify "design dead-ends" that can quickly lead to back-tracking. The software is easy to use and requires no previous experience, expensive procedures, or elaborate hardware. All you need is Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS Version 4.2 or 4.3. The first segment of Spreadsheets for Architects provides a brief but clear explanation of each utility, database, and technical template, including a description of the features, graphics, and variables of each. The second segment offers the experienced user instructions and skeleton templates for customizing applications.

On Positive Semidefinite Matrices with Known Null Space
Authors: Peter Arbenz, Zlatko Drmac
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2002)

We show how the zero structure of a basis of the null space of a positive semidefinite matrix can be exploited to determine a positive definite submatrix of maximal rank. We discuss consequences of this result for the solution of (constrained) linear systems and eigenvalue problems. The results are of particular interest if A and the null space basis are sparse. We furthermore execute a backward error analysis of the Cholesky factorization of positive semidefinite matrices and provide new elementwise bounds.

The Solution of the $\mbox\boldmath$H^2/H^\infty$$ Problem by Direct Methods
Authors: M. A. Da Silveira, R. Ades
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

The $H^2/H^{\infty}$ problem is formulated in a Hilbertian context. It has a unique solution, which is the strong limit of sequences generated by Galerkin methods based on convenient, but not necessarily orthogonal, generator sets. Using these results, a methodology to solve the problem by a Galerkin method is proposed, and an example is solved and compared to other approaches.

Authors: Daniel J. Barrett, Richard E. Silverman
Venue:  (2001)

:Secure your computer network with SSH! With end-to-end strong encryption, reliable public-key authentication, and a highly configurable client/server architecture, SSH (Secure Shell) is a popular, robust, TCP/IP-based solution to many network security and privacy concerns. It supports secure remote logins, secure file transfer between computers, and a unique "tunneling" capability that adds encryption to otherwise insecure network applications. Best of all, SSH is free, with feature-filled commercial versions available as well. SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide covers the Secure Shell in detail for both system administrators and end users. It demystifies the SSH man pages and includes thorough coverage of: Basic to advanced use of SSH client tools for Unix, Windows, and Macintosh. Installing, configuring, and maintaining SSH (with special tips for large data centers). The three levels of SSH server control: compile-time and server-wide configuration for administators, and per-account configuration for end users. Application tunneling, port and agent forwarding, and forced commands. Undocumented features of popular SSH implementations. Detailed case studies of creating complex applications with SSH. Troubleshooting a wide variety of common and not-so-common problems. Whether you're communicating on a small LAN or across the Internet, SSH can ship your data from "here" to "there" efficiently and securely. So throw away those insecure .rhosts and hosts.equiv files, move up to SSH, and make your network a safe place to live and work. About the Author: Daniel J.

A policy-based resource instantiation mechanism to automate software process management
Authors: Carla A. Lima Reis, Rodrigo Quites Reis, Heribert Schlebbe, Daltro J. Nunes
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Process-Centered Software Engineering Environments (PSEEs) deal with activities that demand specialized personnel and limited resources. Characteristics about required resources and people (and their dynamic availability) are used by software process instantiation phase to define process allocation strategies. However, most of existing PSEEs do not allow precise resource specification, and the instantiation is often based on the knowledge of a process designer, mostly without automated support. Thus, process managers must make all major decisions based on their individual insights and experience: this constitutes a major obstacle for resource allocation analysis and optimization in process systems and can influence project management and overall software quality. This paper proposes Instantiation Policies as a compact formalism, integrated to a process modeling language, to allow user-defined reusable management strategies for resource instantiation. Through the proposed language it is possible to plan or automate allocation depending on process and organization current situation. This paper discusses the motivations for this solution, shows the proposed meta-model, language and some application examples for this approach.

An algebraic approach for incremental maintenance of materialized XQuery views
Authors: Maged EL-Sayed, Ling Wang, Luping Ding, Elke A. Rundensteiner
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th international workshop on Web information and data management (2002)

Modern data sources, including structural and semi-structural sources, often export XML views over base data, and at times may materialize their views by storing the XML query result to provide faster data access. It is typically more efficient to maintain a view by incrementally propagating the base changes to the view than by re-computing it from scratch. Techniques for the incremental maintenance of relational views have been extensively studied in the literature. However, the maintenance of views created using XQuery is as of now unexplored. In this paper we propose an algebraic approach for incremental XQuery view maintenance. In our approach, an update to the XML source is transformed into a set of well defined update primitives which are propagated through the XML algebra tree. This algebraic update propagation process generates incremental update primitives to be applied to the result view. We briefly discuss our XQuery view maintenance system implementation. Our experiments confirm that incremental view maintenance is indeed faster than re-computation.

Taming access control security: extending capabilities using the views relationship
Authors: Marcus E. Markiewicz, Carlos J. P. Lucena, Donald D. Cowan
Venue: Software&mdash;Practice Experience (2002)

The 'views' relationship indicates how an object-oriented design can be clearly separated into objects and their corresponding interface. This paper uses the concept of 'views' in order to achieve full separation between the application and the security policy in the design and implementation. The result is achieved by providing a model for capabilities using 'views' that is richer than the traditional capability model. In addition, a distributed access control model is shown to be effective through the use of Secure Object Communication Channels (SOCCs) to allow for secure connections at the abstract object level. This security is applicable in the e-commerce application domain, bringing security directly to the application abstraction level.
An XML-based approach to multimedia software engineering for distance learning
Authors: T. Arndt, S. K. Chang, A. Guercio, P. Maresca
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Multimedia Software Engineering (MSE) is a new frontier for both Software Engineering (SE) and Visual Languages (VL). In fact multimedia software engineering can be considered as the discipline for systematic specification, design, substitution and verification of visual patterns. Visual Languages contribute to MSE such concepts as: Visual notation for software specification, design and verification flow charts, ER diagrams, Petri Nets, UML visualization, visual programming languages etc. Multimedia Software Engineering and Software Engineering are like two sides of the same coin. On the one hand we can apply software engineering principles to the design of multimedia systems. On the other hand we can apply multimedia technologies to the software engineering practice. In this paper we concentrate on the first of these possibilities. One of the promising application areas for Multimedia Software Engineering is Distance Learning. One aim of this paper is to demonstrate how it is possible to design and to implement complex multimedia software systems for Distance Learning using a Teleaction Object transformer based on XML technology applying a Component-Based Multimedia Software Engineering approach. The paper shows a complete process of dataflow transformation that represents TAO in different ways (text, TAOML, etc.) and at different levels of abstraction. A component-based tool architecture is also discussed.The use of an XML-based approach in the Distance Learning field has other advantages as well. It facilitates reuse of the teaching resources by using metadata. Standards for representing multimedia distance learning materials are currently evolving. Such standards are necessary in order to allow a representation which is independent of hardware and software platforms so that this material can be examined, for example, in a web browser or so that it may be reused.
