  • Object-Relational DBMSs

    • 2nd Edition
    • December 20, 1998
    • Michael Stonebraker + 2 more
    • English
    Discover why object-relational technology is ideal for supporting a broad spectrum of data types and application areas, from financial services to multimedia data. In this completely revised and updated edition, database experts Michael Stonebraker and Paul Brown explore the object-relational paradigm and examine the most recent developments in the field.Specifically written for database application programmers, database analysts, and IT managers, this book includes detailed information on how to classify DBMS applications, where object-relational DBMSs fit in the database world, and what mechanisms are required to support such an engine.

  • Warping & Morphing of Graphical Objects

    • 1st Edition
    • November 27, 1998
    • Jonas Gomes + 3 more
    • English
    Warping and morphing permeate the realm of computer graphics. This classic book defines the field: it presents a unifying view of warping and morphing, combining a conceptual framework with a consolidated view of the state of the art. Coverage includes deformations of various graphical objects such as plane curves, images, surfaces, and volumes.The authors developed a full-featured warping and morphing system, Morphos, where several types of graphical objects and computation techniques coexist. Morphos is included on the companion CD-ROM.This book and CD-ROM offer the most comprehensive professional reference available on warping and morphing techniques. Together they are the complete source for both researchers whose main interests are in the mathematical and conceptual foundations and computer graphics professionals who need to incorporate more warping and morphing techniques into their applications.

    • Michael Etzel
    • English
    This book is a subset of the Visual Fortran Programmer's Guide, which is only available on-line.The author has cut out any duplication with the printed Language Reference Manual and has added minimal material not available on-line, such as a chapter on using graphics.

  • Maple V by Example

    • 2nd Edition
    • October 22, 1998
    • Martha L. Abell + 1 more
    • English
    Maple V By Example, Second Edition bridges the gap between the very elementary handbooks addressing Maple V and the reference books written for advanced Maple V users. Whereas the First Edition focuses on Release 2 of Maple V, the vehicle for the Second Edition is Maple V, Version 5. The new edition remains an appropriate reference for all users of Maple V but is of particular value to students, instructors, engineers, business persons, and other professionals first learning to use Maple V.

  • The Fuzzy Systems Handbook

    A Practitioner's Guide to Building, Using, and Maintaining Fuzzy Systems
    • 2nd Edition
    • October 20, 1998
    • Earl Cox
    • English
    This new edition provides a comprehensive introduction to fuzzy logic, and leads the reader through the complete process of designing, constructing, implementing, verifying and maintaining a platform-independent fuzzy system model. The book has been extensively revised to bring the subject up-to-date, and features two new chapters: "Building and Using Fuzzy Cognitive Map Models" and "Building ME-OWA Models."The multiplatform CD-ROM contains all the C++ source code from the book's examples - but its real value is the robust package of fuzzy system related tools and utilities, featuring two notable components. First: Metus Systems' basic fuzzy modeling software, which includes complete C/C++ source code for creating and executing fuzzy models, a Visual Basic shell that can be used to create fuzzy sets and generate the C/C++ include files, and code for models for pricing, project management, risk assessment, and more. Second: The ME-OWA (Minimum-Entropy, Ordered Weighted Aggregation) decision modeling software from Fuzzy Logic, Inc. This software is used to focus on a single objective function from a set of alternatives given a fuzzy ranking among various alternatives. It is not only an important technique as a stand-alone tool, but is an important methodology in parameter selection (and parameterization ordering) for genetic algorithms and various data mining techniques. It is also an important technique used to establish rule and policy level peer weights in fuzzy models.

  • Implementing Extranets

    • 1st Edition
    • October 16, 1998
    • Randall Covill
    • English
    Many companies are attempting to meet their communication and collaboration needs by implementing extranets rather than by implementing new proprietary networks. Extranets use the Interent to connect remote offices and sites as well as business partners. As a result, extranets are standards-based and much less expensive to implement than are new proprietary networks. A great deal of controversy and technical innovation surrounds the implementation of extranets because many people feel that extranets do not yet meet the requirements of many commercial and individual users for access, availability, reliability, security, performance, ease of management, and ease of administration.Imple... Extranets directly addresses the great extranet controversy by providing practical examples and advice about overcoming the present limitations of extranets. This book will be of great interest to planners, designers, and implementors of extranets as well as to end users and business managers who wish to use extranets to meet their communication and collaboration needs.

  • Policy Issues in Modern Cartography

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • October 16, 1998
    • D.R. Fraser Taylor
    • English
    Policy Issues in Modern Cartography contains the views of national mapping agencies, legal scholars, the library community, the private sector and academia on these and many other important issues. The book begins with perspectives from national mapping agencies in Britain, Canada and the United States followed by a survey of the situation in Asia. The next three chapters deal primarily with legal issues such as copyright and intellectual property from both North American and European perspectives. Chapter 8 presents an important perspective on the key issues by a representative of the private sector followed by six chapters written primarily by academics including an important contribution by a map librarian. The volume concludes with an assessment of the challenges remaining.
