Component-Based Software Testing with UML
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 354020864X | edition 2004 | PDF | 328 pages | 14,6 mb
Since building testing into components has implications with component development, built-in contract testing is integrated with and made to complement a model-driven development method. The book describes a method for developing the testing of components in parallel with their functionality based on models. It means UML models are used to derive the testing architecture for an application, the testing interfaces and the component testers. The method also provides a process and guidelines for modeling and developing these artifacts.
The book will also discuss the implications of built-in contract testing with other component-based development technologies such as product-line engineering, middleware platforms, reuse principles etc.

The Linux TCP/IP Stack: Networking for Embedded Systems
Publisher: Charles River Media | ISBN: 1584502843 | edition 2004 | PDF | 482 pages | 11,5 mb
The Linux TCP/IP Stack: Networking for Embedded Systems provides an in-depth guide to implementing and using the Linux TCP/IP stack in embedded systems projects. It begins with a general overview of TCP/IP networking, with background information on applicable networking standards. From there, it details the TCP/IP implementation in Linux 2.6 by following a packet of data as it flows through the stack from the sending system, out the wire, and back through the input side of the stack in the receiving machine. This unique approach gives programmers an "inside" look at the entire process. Throughout the text, topics of particular interest to engineers implementing embedded systems are discussed, such as sockets, network interfaces, application layer protocols, and practical considerations. This is a great resource for embedded systems programmers and engineers, as well as networking professionals interested in learning more about the implementation of Linux TCP/IP in the 2.6 kernel.

Principles of Computer Graphics: Theory and Practice Using OpenGL and Maya
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 0387955046 | edition 2005 | PDF | 296 pages | 21,1 mb
Although computer graphics games and animations have been popular for more than a decade, recently personal computers evolved to support real-time, realistic-looking interactive games. OpenGL, a technology standard to develop CG applications, has had incredible momentum in both the professional and consumer markets. Once only the domain of production houses, OpenGL has grown to be the standard for graphics programming on all platforms, personal computers, and workstations. Now more than ever, people are eager to learn about what it takes to make such productions, and how they can be a part of them. Current literature on how to make movies/games focus more on the technology (OpenGL, DirectX, etc) and their APIs rather than on the principles of computer graphics.

Subclassing and Hooking with Visual Basic
Publisher: O'Reilly | ISBN: 0596001185 | edition 2001 | PDF | 687 pages | 14,2 mb
With Subclassing and the Windows hooking mechanism ("hooks"), you can manipulate, modify, or even discard messages bound for other objects within the operating system, in the process changing the way in which the system behaves. Along with this power comes responsibility; Windows is very unforgiving if subclassing and hooking techniques are used incorrectly. Subclassing & Hooking with Visual Basic demonstrates how to use the various techniques that deal with the interception of messages bound for one or more windows or controls: you can leave the intercepted message in its original state or modify it; afterwards, you can send the message to its original destination or discard it. For both VB 6 and VB.NET developers, this book opens up a wealth of possibilities that ordinarily would be completely unavailable, or at least not easy to implement.

Comprehensive Mathematics for Computer Scientists 2
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 3540208615 | edition 2004 | PDF | 351 pages | 13,5 mb
This two-volume textbook Comprehensive Mathematics for the Working Computer Scientist is a self-contained comprehensive presentation of mathematics including sets, numbers, graphs, algebra, logic, grammars, machines, linear geometry, calculus, ODEs, and special themes such as neural networks, Fourier theory, wavelets, numerical issues, statistics, categories, and manifolds. The concept framework is streamlined but defining and proving virtually everything. The style implicitly follows the spirit of recent topos-oriented theoretical computer science. Despite the theoretical soundness, the material stresses a large number of core computer science subjects, such as, for example, a discussion of floating point arithmetic, Backus-Naur normal forms, L-systems, Chomsky hierarchies, algorithms for data encoding, e.g., the Reed-Solomon code. The numerous course examples are motivated by computer science and bear a generic scientific meaning. This text is complemented by an online university course which covers the same theoretical content, however, in a totally different presentation. The student or working scientist who once gets involved in this text may at any time consult the online interface which comprises applets and other interactive tools.

Jean-Francois Collard, «Reasoning About Program Transformations»
Springer | ISBN: 0387953914 | 2002 | PDF | 256 pages | 1.7 MB
The motivation of this text lies in what we believe is the inadequacy of current frameworks to reason about the flow of data in imperative programs. This inadequacy clearly shows up when dealing with the individual side effects of loop iterations. Indeed, we face a paradoxical situation where, on the one hand, a typical program spends most of its execution time iterating or recursing on a few lines of codes, and, on the other hand, current optimization frameworks are clumsy when trying to capture the effects of each incarnation of these few lines—frameworks we inherited from designs made decades ago.

Springer | ISBN: 3540219773 | 2004 | PDF | 960 pages | 7.47 MB
The International Symposium on Smart Graphics 2004 was held on May 23–25, 2004 in Banff, Canada. It was the fifth event in a series which originally started in 2000 as a AAAI Spring Symposium. In response to the overwhelming success of the 2000 symposium, its organizers decided to turn it into a self-contained event in 2001. With the support of IBM, the first two International Symposia on Smart Graphics were held at the T.J. Watson Research Center in Hawthorne, NY in 2001 and 2002. The 2003 symposium moved to the European Media Lab in Heidelberg to underline the international character of the Smart Graphics enterprise and its community. The 2004 symposium particularly emphasized the contribution of arts and design to the interdisciplinary field of Smart Graphics and was therefore held at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada, an internationally recognized center of creative excellence.

Business in a Virtual World: Exploiting Information for Competitive Advantage
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan | ISBN: 0333721217 | edition 1998 | PDF | 272 pages | 10,8 mb
Every business consists of two types of element: the physical and the virtual. The physical elements are items such as buildings, machinery and people; the virtual elements are items such as information about customers, knowledge about how to get the best from a manufacturing process and the rights to exploit a particular invention. The information revolution provides organisations with an unparalleled opportunity to move elements of their business from the physical domain to the virtual domain. No longer does the development of new products have to be done on paper, no longer do you have to sell to your customers within shops, no longer do you have to keep large stocks of every item that you sell. Almost every element of a business can be converted from the physical into information that is stored and manipulated within a computer.

Parallel Scientific Computing in C++ and MPI: A Seamless Approach to Parallel Algorithms and their Implementation
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521520800 | edition 2003 | PDF | 697 pages | 13,4 mb
This book provides a seamless approach to numerical algorithms, modern programming techniques and parallel computing. These concepts and tools are usually taught serially across different courses and different textbooks, thus observing the connection between them. The necessity of integrating these subjects usually comes after such courses are concluded (e.g., during a first job or a thesis project), thus forcing the student to synthesize what is perceived to be three independent subfields into one in order to produce a solution. The book includes both basic and advanced topics and places equal emphasis on the discretization of partial differential equations and on solvers. Advanced topics include wavelets, high-order methods, non-symmetric systems and parallelization of sparse systems.

Core Techniques and Algorithms in Game Programming
Publisher: New Riders Games | ISBN: 0131020099 | edition 2003 | PDF | 745 pages | 15,4 mb
To even try to keep pace with the rapid evolution of game development, you need a strong foundation in core programming techniques-not a hefty volume on one narrow topic or one that devotes itself to API-specific implementations. Finally, there's a guide that delivers! As a professor at the Spanish university that offered that country's first master's degree in video game creation, author Daniel Sanchez-Crespo recognizes that there's a core programming curriculum every game designer should be well versed in-and he's outlined it in these pages! By focusing on time-tested coding techniques-and providing code samples that use C++, and the OpenGL and DirectX APIs-Daniel has produced a guide whose shelf life will extend long beyond the latest industry trend. Code design, data structures, design patterns, AI, scripting engines, 3D pipelines, texture mapping, and more: They're all covered here-in clear, coherent fashion and with a focus on the essentials that will have you referring back to this volume for years to come.

Animation and Effects with Macromedia Flash MX 2004
Publisher: Macromedia Press | ISBN: 032130344X | edition 2004 | CHM | 472 pages | 20 mb
What started as a simple animation tool has evolved into a full-fledged Web development environment. Which means that if you're like many of today's Flash developers, you may know little about actually creating animations and effects with the program. Here to solve that dilemma is a hands-on guide from one of today's leading Flash experts. By showing you how to create 15 projects based on real-world Web solutions, author Jen deHaan provides a thorough grounding in all of Flash's effects and animation fundamentals. Each chapter represents a single project with simple step-by-step instructions for re-creating the cool Web elements pictured in these pages: a short logo animation with various types of motion tweens, an animated banner, a "speaking" animated character, video floating over Flash content, a Flash interface that uses transitions to "page" through different areas of a site, navigation and graphic effects, and more. Fifteen real-world projects reveal the magic behind the most useful Flash-produced animations and effects, and a companion CD includes lesson files and sample software.

Learning WML, and WMLScript: Programming the Wireless Web
Publisher: O'Reilly Media | ISBN: 1565929470 | edition 2000 | PDF | 161 pages | 13,1 mb
The next generation of mobile communicators is here, and delivering content to them will mean programming in WML (Wireless Markup Language) and WMLScript, the languages of the Wireless Application Environment (WAE). The WAE allows information in almost all applications to be formatted for display on mobile devices, such as cell phones, and enables the user to interact with the information. Why learn yet another technology? According to some estimates, 75 percent of all web document viewing by the year 2002 will be through non- desktop devices, many using wireless technologies. Clearly, the future is wireless. For web developers who want to get up to speed quickly in these languages, Learning WML & WMLScript maps out in detail the WAE and its two major components, WML and WMLScript. It's the resource of choice for application developers who are in a hurry to upgrade their skills and their sites so they won't be left plugged in during the wireless revolution.

With this title, you will learn the basics of using PROC SQL, including retrieving data from single and multiple tables, selecting specific data from tables, subsetting, ordering, and summarizing data, updating tables, combining tables to create new tables and useful reports, performing queries on database management system (DBMS) tables, using PROC SQL with the SAS macro facility, and debugging and optimizing PROC SQL code. Additionally, detailed examples show you how to use PROC SQL to solve real-world problems, such as computing a weighted average, expanding hierarchical data in a table, creating a summary report, updating a table with values from another table, and using PROC SQL tables in other SAS programs. This title is also available online. This title is intended for users with a working knowledge of SAS programming. No knowledge of SQL or relational databases is assumed.
Supports releases 9.1 and higher of SAS software.

Stefan Göbel, Ulrike Spierling, «Technologies for Interactive Digital Storytelling and Entertainment»
Springer | ISBN: 3540222839 | 2004 | PDF | 304 pages | 5.58 MB
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Technologies for Interactive Digital Storytelling and Entertainment, TIDSE 2004, held in Darmstadt, Germany in June 2004. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book; also included are the abstract of a keynote talk and 10 descriptions of demonstrations and interactive exhibitions of computer art. The papers are organized in topical sections on interactive storytelling, virtual humans, authoring, mobility, learning, theory, applications, gaming, and demonstrations and exhibitions.
Interactive Digital Storytelling has evolved as a prospering research topic banding together formerly disjointed disciplines stemming from the arts and humanities as well as computer science. It’s tied up with the notion of storytelling as an effective means for the communication of knowledge and social values since the existence of humankind. It also builds a bridge between current academic trends investigating and formalizing computer games, and developments towards the experience-based design of human-media interaction in general.

Jonathan S. Greenfield, «Distributed Programming Paradigms with Cryptography Applications»
Springer | ISBN: 354058496X | 1994 | PDF | 182 pages | 5.84 MB
This monograph describes a programming methodology based upon programming paradigms and generic programs and demonstates how distributed application programs can be developed by simple substitution of data structures and sequential procedures. The author introduces generic programs for two paradigms and shows how to derive new distributed programs for several applications related to the RSA cryptosystem, including RSA enciphering and deciphering, prime number generation, and factoring.
The book is well-written and easily accessible to the non-expert. The work is an appealing combination of the theory and practice of parallel computing and provides a clear introduction to the theory and practice of RSA cryptography.

AspectJ in Action: Practical Aspect-Oriented Programming
Publisher: Manning Publications | ISBN: 1930110936 | edition 2003 | PDF | 513 pages | 13,1 mb
Modularizing code into objects cannot be fully achieved in pure OOP. In practice some objects must deal with aspects that are not their main business. A method to modularize aspects-and benefit from a clean maintainable result-is called aspect-oriented programming. AspectJ is an open-source Java extension and compiler designed for AOP development. Now integrated with Eclipse, NetBeans, JBuilder, and other IDEs, AspectJ v1.1 is ready for the real world.
It is time to move from AOP theory and toy examples to AOP practice and real applications. With this unique book you can make that move. It teaches you AOP concepts, the AspectJ language, and how to develop industrial-strength systems. It shows you examples which you can reuse. It unleashes the true power of AOP through unique patterns of AOP design. When you are done, you will be eager-and able-to build new systems, and enhance your existing ones, with the help of AOP.

Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. The 2007 event was the 13th issue of the conference. Euro-Par has for a long time been eager to attract colocated events sharing the same goal of promoting the development of parallel and distributed computing, both as an industrial technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. Since 2006, Euro-Par offers researchers the chance to colocate advanced technical workshops back-to-back with the main conference. This is for a mutual benefit: the workshops can take advantage of all technical and social facilities which are set up for the conference, so that the organizational tasks are kept to a minimal level; the conference can rely on workshops to experiment with specific areas of research which are not yet mature enough, or too specific, to lead to an official, full-fledged topic at the conference.

Radu Dogaru, «Systematic Design for Emergence in Cellular Nonlinear Networks»
Springer | ISBN: 3540768009 | 2008 | PDF | 166 pages | 4.23 MB
The main problem addressed in this book came out during a Fulbright research fellowship stage at U.C. Berkeley (California, USA, 1996–1998). Then, I had the opportunity to work in the research group of Leon Chua on a subject called CNN (cellular neural/nonlinear network). The CNN, developed in the end of the 1980s was an important step ahead in getting cellular computing closer to practical applications. The CNN is actually a cellular array made of many identical elements interconnected in a neighborhood. But unlike the cellular automata (CA) the CNN was designed as a circuit-oriented architecture being developed up to the point where it serves as a low-power smart sensor or visual microprocessor capable to acquire and process images or multi-dimensional signals in general with processing speeds of the order of 1012 (Tera) operations per second. Today, there are several academic and industrial groups providing CNN-based solutions for various practical problems, particularly when high speed processing at low power is needed. Also, researchers in the area of nano-technology recognize cellular computing as a suitable computing paradigm to the specific of these technologies where many identical active elements are available on a mass proportion. Researchers in biology also recognize the cellular paradigm as a well-suited paradigm for models of natural systems. Indeed there is a similarity, as biological systems essentially are functionally meaningful aggregates of mostly local interconnected cells. A brief review of the cellular computing paradigm, its relation to natural computing in general and the state of the art of its use in applications are given in Chaps. 1 and 2 of this book.

Barbara Hammer, Pascal Hitzler, «Perspectives of Neural-Symbolic Integration»
Springer | ISBN: 354073953X | 2007 | PDF | 320 pages | 5.07 MB
The human brain possesses the remarkable capability of understanding, interpreting, and producing language, structures, and logic. Unlike their biological counterparts, artificial neural networks do not form such a close liason with symbolic reasoning: logic-based inference mechanisms and statistical machine learning constitute two major and very different paradigms in artificial intelligence with complementary strengths and weaknesses. Modern application scenarios in robotics, bioinformatics, language processing, etc., however require both the efficiency and noise-tolerance of statistical models and the generalization ability and high-level modelling of structural inference meachanisms. A variety of approaches has therefore been proposed for combining the two paradigms.

Equivalence Checking of Digital Circuits: Fundamentals, Principles, Methods
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 1402077254 | edition 2004 | PDF | 265 pages | 11 mb
Hardware verification is the process of checking whether a design conforms to its specification of functionality. In today's design processes it becomes more and more important. Very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits and the resulting digital systems have conquered a place in almost all areas of our life, even in security sensitive applications. Complex digital systems control airplanes, have been used in banks and on intensive-care units. Hence, the demand for error-free designs is more important than ever. In addition, economic reasons underline this demand as well. The design and production process of present day VLSI-circuits is highly time- and cost-intensive. Moreover, it is nearly impossible to repair integrated circuits.

Springer | ISBN: 0387285687 | 2005 | PDF | 340 pages | 18.5 MB
The Semantic Web, that adds a conceptual layer of machine-understandable metadata to the existing content, will make the content available for processing by intelligent software allowing automatic resource integration and providing interoperability between heterogeneous systems. The Semantic Web is now the most important influence on the development of the Web. The next generation of intelligent applications will be capable of making use of suchmetadata to perform resource discovery and integration based on its sematics. Sematic Web aims at developing a global environment on top of Web with interoperable heterogeneous applications, agents, web services, data repositories, humans, and so on. On the technology side, Web-oriented languages and technologies are being developed (e.g. RDF, OWL, OWL-S, WSMO, etc.), and the success of the Semantic Web will depend on a wide-spread industrial adoption of these technologies. Trend within worldwide activities related to Semantic Web definitely shows that the technology has emerging growth of interest both academic and industry during a relatively small time interval.

Programming Windows Workflow Foundation: Practical WF Techniques and Examples using XAML and C#: A C#
Publisher: Packt | ISBN: 1904811213 | edition 2006 | PDF | 249 pages | 12,1 mb
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a technology for defining, executing, and managing workflows. It is part of the .NET Framework 3.0 and will be available natively in the Windows Vista operating system. Windows Workflow Foundation might be the most significant piece of middleware to arrive on the Windows platform since COM+ and the Distributed Transaction Coordinator. The difference is, not every application needs a distributed transaction, but nearly every application does have a workflow encoded inside it. In this book, K Scott Allen, author of renowned .NET articles, provides you with all the information needed to develop successful products with Windows Workflow. From the basics of how Windows Workflow can solve the difficult problems inherent in workflow solutions, through authoring workflows in code, learning about the base activity library in Windows Workflow and the different types of workflow provided, and on to building event-driven workflows using state machines, workflow communications, and finally rules and conditions in Windows Workflow, this book will give you the in-depth information you need. Throughout the book, an example "bug reporting" workflow system is developed, showcasing the technology and techniques used.

Springer | ISBN: 3540219803 | 2004 | PDF | 238 pages | 2.09 MB
Many challenging problems in information systems engineering involve the manipulation of complex metadata artifacts or models, such as database schema, interface specifications, or object diagrams, and mappings between models. Applications solving metadata manipulation problems are complex and hard to build. The goal of generic model management is to reduce the amount of programming needed to solve such problems by providing a database infrastructure in which a set of high-level algebraic operators are applied to models and mappings as a whole rather than to their individual building blocks.
