  • Mapping the Net: Revenge of the Physical World
  • Once upon a time, the Internet was a wholly virtual environment, moored only loosely to the physical world. It was where information went to become free, where censorship was routed around, where communities could leap barriers of distance and culture in a single bound . . . and where no one knew you were a dog. The kicker was that these aspects were built into the fabric of the Net, thanks to its origins in military communications research. You couldn’t tie the Net to the real world if you wanted to. The physical world is making a comeback, even online. With the collapse of the dot-com stock bubble, things like brick-and-mortar storefronts, tangible assets, face-to-face meetings and hard-dollar profits suddenly are fashionable again. Following the same pattern, the foundational assumption that Internet users and sites have no connection to geography is eroding. It’s now possible to determine with high levels of certainty where someone is connecting from. This allows for targeting of services and content, but also raises the possibility that physical-world laws will encroach on cyberspace. Like it or not, the era when one could confidently speak of the Net as a world apart is coming to a close. Profitability and traditional stock valuation metrics do matter in the end. Napster and MP3.com have been forced to restructure their offerings in response to pressure from the music industry. (Just before we went to press MP3.com was bought by a major record company, Vivendi Universal.) Most, though not all, of the largest
  • Exception Handling: A Field Study in Java and .NET
  • Most modern programming languages rely on exceptions for dealing with abnormal situations. Although exception handling was a significant improvement over other mechanisms like checking return codes, it is far from perfect. In fact, it can be argued that this mechanism is seriously limited, if not, flawed. This paper aims to contribute to the discussion by providing quantitative measures on how programmers are currently using exception handling. We examined 32 different applications, both for Java and .NET. The major conclusion for this work is that exceptions are not being correctly used as an error recovery mechanism. Exception handlers are not specialized enough for allowing recovery and, typically, programmers just do one of the following actions: logging, user notification and application termination. To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive study done on exception handling to date, providing a quantitative measure useful for guiding the development of new error handling mechanisms. In order to develop robust software, a programming language must provide the programmer with primitives that make it easy and natural to deal with abnormal situations and recover from them. Robust software must be able to perceive and deal with the temporary disconnection of network links, disks that are full, authentication procedures that fail and so on. Most modern programming languages like C#, Java or Python rely on exceptions for dealing with such abnormal events. Although exception handling was a significant improvement over other mechanisms like checking return codes, it is far from perfect. In fact, it can be argued that the

  • Practical Artificial Intelligence Programming in Java
  • Early AI research emphasized the optimization of search algorithms. This approach made a lot of sense because many AI tasks can be solved by effectively by defining state spaces and using search algorithms to define and explore search trees in this state space. Search programs were frequently made tractable by using heuristics to limit areas of search in these search trees. This use of heuristics converts intractable problems to solvable problems by compromising the quality of solutions; this trade off of less computational complexity for less than optimal solutions has become a standard design pattern for AI programming. We will see in this chapter that we trade off memory for faster computation time and better results; often, by storing extra data we can make search time faster, and make future searches in the same search space even more efficient. What are the limitations of search? Early on, search applied to problems like checkers and chess mislead early researchers into underestimating the extreme difficulty of writing software that performs tasks in domains that require general world knowledge or deal with complex and changing environments. These types of problems usually require the understanding and then the implementation of domain specific knowledge. In this chapter, we will use three search problem domains for studying search algorithms: path finding in a maze, path finding in a static graph, and alpha-beta search in the games: tic-tac-toe and chess. The examples in this book should be included in the examples ZIP file for this book. The examples for this
  • Introduction to Microsoft Access Tutorial pdf
  • The purpose of these tutorials is not to teach you Microsoft Access, but rather to teach you some generic information systems concepts and skills using Access. Of course, as a side effect, you will learn a great deal about the software enough to write your own useful applications. However, keep in mind that Access is an enormously complex, nearly- industrial-strength software development environ- ment. The material here only scrapes the surface of Access development and database programming. 1.1 Introduction: What is Access? Microsoft Access is a relational database manage- ment system (DBMS). At the most basic level, a DBMS is a program that facilitates the storage and retrieval of structured information on a computer’s hard drive. Examples of well-know industrial-strength relational DBMSes include • Oracle • Microsoft SQL Server • IBM DB2 • Informix Well-know PC-based (“desktop”) relational DBMSes include • Microsoft Access • Microsoft FoxPro • Borland dBase 1.1.1 The many faces of Access Microsoft generally likes to incorporate as many fea- tures as possible into its products. For example, the Access package contains the following elements: • a relational database system that supports two industry standard query languages: Structured Query Language (SQL) and Query By Example (QBE); Download Introduction to Microsoft Access Tutorial pdf

  • Web 2.0: Hype or Happiness?
  • Web 2.0 has initiated a new age of Web interaction. Countless everyday activities such as seeking information, shopping, filling in forms and making appointments can be done effectively and often more cheaply on the Web. However many of the new community sites, and other Web 2.0 sites, do not promote accessibility in terms of inclusivity. They are built for, and are of most benefit to, young socially integrated people who own their own laptop and live in a world of readily available radio LAN and fast access broadband. However many older or disabled people are living on low budgets and do not have access to such things. Those for whom the Web is inaccessible for whatever reason will become increasingly excluded from mainstream life if it is not made accessible to them. This paper argues for a holistic approach to accessibly which addresses all aspects of the user’s life. It tracks the impact of the advent of Web 2.0 on Web accessibility in its widest sense. It starts with a definition of accessibility, which in this context means apart from physical access, inclusion and acceptability. Through the use of case studies it examines worrying trends brought about by Web 2.0, and positive signs of improvement in accessibility, due to Web 2.0. Web 2.0 has initiated a new age of Web interaction. Countless everyday activities such as seeking information, shopping, filling in forms and making appointments can be done effectively and often more cheaply on the Web. Those for whom the Web is
  • Objecteering C# Developer
  • Decision-makers in every industry are constantly looking for more and more cost reduction and time-to-market acceleration, and the software and system development industry is no exception to this rule. By taking advantage of the extensive use of both UML and MDA TM (Model-Driven Architecture), technologies standardized by the OMG (Object Management Group), the Objecteering/UML integrated model-driven development environment allows you to make dramatic gains in productivity, quality and application reuse. Manage your C# development using the Model-Driven Development approach Starting from a UML model, the Model-Driven Development approach is used to automate, assist and control application development, by applying the best methodological and technological practices adapted to your business and technical context. This approach, which is natively implemented in Objecteering/UML, provides you with a dedicated integrated tool suite that dramatically increases the productivity and quality of your software application development. Using Objecteering/UML the programming phase is reduced to its essential components: the completion of the UML model with the algorithmic parts of the code and the specification of implementation choices (model annotations). With the UML model, Objecteering/C# Developer can represent every possible C# context, and provides you with a model-editing GUI dedicated to C#. Modeling work is entirely re-used for automated code production and developers no longer have to reformulate it in C#. Code complements are stored in the repository and Objecteering/UML ensures permanent consistency between UML models and C# code. With this approach, you are guaranteed the best quality in the permanent updating of models, code and related documentation. Download pdf Objecteering C#
