An Overview of the C++ Programming Language

by Bjarne Stroustrup , 1999
"... This overview of C++ presents the key design, programming, and language-technical concepts using examples to give the reader a feel for the language. C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias towards systems programming that supports efficient low-level computation, data abstraction, ..."

Toward a model of text comprehension and production

by Walter Kintsch, Teun A. Van Dijk - Psychological Review , 1978
"... The semantic structure of texts can be described both at the local microlevel and at a more global macrolevel. A model for text comprehension based on this notion accounts for the formation of a coherent semantic text base in terms of a cyclical process constrained by limitations of working memory. ..."

to a paragraph from a psycho-logical research report, and methods for the empirical testing of the model are developed. The main goal of this article is to describe the system of mental operations that underlie the processes occurring in text comprehension and in the production of recall

Toward the next generation of recommender systems: A survey of the state-of-the-art and possible extensions

by Gediminas Adomavicius, Alexander Tuzhilin - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING , 2005
"... This paper presents an overview of the field of recommender systems and describes the current generation of recommendation methods that are usually classified into the following three main categories: content-based, collaborative, and hybrid recommendation approaches. This paper also describes vario ..."

Tangible bits: towards seamless interfaces between people, bits and atoms

by Hiroshi Ishii, Brygg Ullmer - Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems, ACM Press: 234--241 , 1997
"... This paper presents our vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI): "Tangible Bits. " Tangible Bits allows users to "grasp & manipulate " bits in the center of users’ attention by coupling the bits with everyday physical objects and architectural surfaces. Tangible Bits also ..."

as the foreground and background of human activities. This paper describes three key concepts of Tangible Bits: interactive surfaces; the coupling of bits with graspable physical objects; and ambient media for background awareness. We illustrate these concepts with three prototype systems – the metaDESK, trans

Generic Schema Matching with Cupid

by Jayant Madhavan, Philip Bernstein, Erhard Rahm - In The VLDB Journal , 2001
"... Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as XML message mapping, data warehouse loading, and schema integration. In this paper, we investigate algorithms for generic schema matching, outside of any particular data model or application. We first present a taxonomy for past s ..."

are the integrated use of linguistic and structural matching, context-dependent matching of shared types, and a bias toward leaf structure where much of the schema content resides. After describing our algorithm, we present experimental results that compare Cupid to two other schema matching systems.

Managing Update Conflicts in Bayou, a Weakly Connected Replicated Storage System

by Douglas Terry, Marvin Theimer, Karin Petersen, Alan Demers, Mike Spreitzer, Carl Hauser - In Proceedings of the Fifteenth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles , 1995
"... Bayou is a replicated, weakly consistent storage system designed for a mobile computing environment that includes portable machines with less than ideal network connectivity. To maximize availability, users can read and write any accessible replica. Bayou's design has focused on supporting apph ..."

It includes novel methods for conflict detection, called

Entrepreneurship: Productive, Unproductive, and Destructive

by William J. Baumol - JOURNAL OF POLITICAL ECONOMY , 1990
"... The basic hypothesis is that, while the total supply of entrepreneurs varies anlong societies, the productive contribution of the society's entrepreneurial activities varies much more because of their allocation between productive activities such as innovation and largely unproductive activitie ..."

Rome. early China, and the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Europe is used to investigate the hypotheses. It is often assumed that an economy of private enterprise has an automatic bias towards innovation, but this is not so. It has a bias only towards profit. [HOBSBAWM 1969, p. 401 When conjectures

Conditional random fields: Probabilistic models for segmenting and labeling sequence data

by John Lafferty , 2001
"... We present conditional random fields, a framework for building probabilistic models to segment and label sequence data. Conditional random fields offer several advantages over hidden Markov models and stochastic grammars for such tasks, including the ability to relax strong independence assumptions ..."

made in those models. Conditional random fields also avoid a fundamental limitation of maximum entropy Markov models (MEMMs) and other discriminative Markov models based on directed graphical models, which can be biased towards states with few successor states. We present iterative parameter estimation

Approximate Signal Processing

by S. Hamid Nawab, Alan V. Oppenheim, Anantha P. Chandrakasan, Joseph M. Winograd, Jeffrey T. Ludwig , 1997
"... It is increasingly important to structure signal processing algorithms and systems to allow for trading off between the accuracy of results and the utilization of resources in their implementation. In any particular context, there are typically a variety of heuristic approaches to managing these tra ..."

number of ideas and approaches to approximate processing as currently being formulated in the computer science community. We then present four examples of signal processing algorithms/systems that are structured with these goals in mind. These examples may be viewed as partial inroads toward the ultimate

Multiobjective Optimization Using Nondominated Sorting in Genetic Algorithms

by N. Srinivas, Kalyanmoy Deb - Evolutionary Computation , 1994
"... In trying to solve multiobjective optimization problems, many traditional methods scalarize the objective vector into a single objective. In those cases, the obtained solution is highly sensitive to the weight vector used in the scalarization process and demands the user to have knowledge about t ..."
