This isn't a book about the Object Data Standard; it's the complete, fully authoritative version of the standard itself, presented by the researchers who developed it. This book provides all the details comprising ODMG 3.0, making the latestversion of the specification the most mature and most flexible yet. When it comes to storing objects in databases, ODMG 3.0 is a standard with which you need to be familiar-whether you design, develop, or implement object database products, object-to-relational database mapping products, or applications based on these products. * Presents authoritative, completely up-to-date information not available anywhere else. * Documents all the changes found in version 3.0, including enhancements to the Java language binding, greater semantic precision, and various improvements and corrections throughout the standard. * Pays special attention to the broadening of the standard to support recent developments in...

Microsoft Visual C# 2005, An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming, Second Edition provides the beginning programmer with a guide to developing programs in C#, a language developed by Microsoft as part of their Visual Studio .NET platform. With C#, you can build small, reusable components that are well-suited to twenty-first century Web-based programming applications. Although similar to Java and C++, many features of C# make it easier to learn and ideal for the beginning programmer. You can program in C# using a simple text editor and the command prompt, or you can manipulate program components using Visual Studio's sophisticated Integrated Development Environment. This book provides you with the tools to use both techniques.

Digital images have become mainstream of late notably within HDTV, cell phones, personal cameras, and many medical applications. The processing of digital images and video includes adjusting illumination, manufacturing enlargements/reductions, and creating contrast. This development has made it possible to take long forgotten, badly damaged photos and make them new again with image estimation. It can also help snapshot photographers with image restoration, a method of reducing the influence of an unsteady hand. Dr. Woods has constructed a book for professionals and graduate students that will give them the thorough understanding of image and video processing that they need in order to contribute to this hot technology's future advances. Examples and problems at the end of each chapter help the reader digest what has just been read. Forged from a theoretical base, this exceptional book develops into an essential guide to hands-on endeavors in signal processing. FOR...

Book DescriptionThis comprehensive and in-depth study on intelligent techniques in e-commerce offers a general introduction to case-based reasoning (CBR), e-commerce and intelligent agents. The task of using CBR is introduced by combining CBR with e-commerce and multiple agent simulation from both a mathematical, logical, and business, as well as an information-technology viewpoint. The book develops unified methods, models and architectures for multiagent e-commerce, in particular for multiagent brokerage. The final chapter, Integration of CBR and MAS in e-commerce, ties all the threads together. The material is covered in an easily-accessible way aiming at researchers and practitioners, lecturers and postgraduate students of e-commerce and e-business, information technology or artificial intelligence.

The book gives a thorough introduction to the mathematical underpinnings of computer algebra. The subjects treated range from arithmetic of integers and polynomials to fast factorization methods, Grobner bases, and algorithms in algebraic geometry. The algebraic background for all the algorithms presented in the book is fully described, and most of the algorithms are investigated with respect to their computational complexity. Each chapter closes with a brief survey of the related literature.
