Of course, this process requires a trained mind and a conceptual framework that may be either confirmed or challenged. The investigator... Jul 26 2010 A numerical evaluation of preprocessing and ILU-type preconditioners for the solution of unsymmetric sparse linear systems using iterative methods Mayer J.  ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 36(1): 1-26, 2009. Type: Article The efficient solution of large sparse linear systems is critical for a wide range of applications. An important approach, considered here for the unsymmetric case, employs an iterative framework with a preconditioner. The preconditioners studied ... Jul 19 2010 Formal theories of information: from Shannon to semantic information theory and general concepts of information Sommaruga G.  Springer-Verlag, New York, NY, 2009. Type: Divisible Book Information theory addresses two basic issues in communication theory: the ultimate data compression and the ultimate transmission rate. The persistent enigma in the use and meaning of the term “information” is the fact that, while... Jul 12 2010 Beautiful testing: leading professionals reveal how they improve software Riley T., Goucher A.,  O’Reilly Media, Inc., Sebastopol, CA, 2009. 350 pp. Type: Book Programming would be easy if the program didn’t have to work. But we all know that programming is tough, because programs do have to work. We also know that it can be difficult to determine what a program (or a component of a program)... Jul 6 2010 Beginning SQL Server 2008 administration Walters R., Fritchey G., Taglienti C.,  Apress, Berkeley, CA, 2009. 400 pp. Type: Book Although the title of the book mentions SQL Server 2008, the book has a broader focus, on database administration as a profession. SQL Server 2008 seems to be only the tool used to describe it. The book presents SQL Server 2008 and its tools in... Jun 28 2010 On lightweight mobile phone application certification Enck W., Ongtang M., McDaniel P.  CCS 2009 (Proceedings of the 16th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security, Chicago, IL,  Nov 9-13, 2009) 235-245, 2009. Type: Proceedings Enck, Ongtang, and McDaniel present a methodology for certifying mobile phone applications during the installation process. During the installation process, the application is classified according to its behavior and possibly suspicious... Jun 21 2010 Insight through computing: a MATLAB introduction to computational science and engineering Van Loan C., Fan K.,  SIAM, Philadelphia, PA, 2009. 452 pp. Type: Book This is a carefully designed introductory text to computational science that uses the MATLAB language. Among scientists, engineers, and numerical analysts, MATLAB has become a lingua franca for describing and executing algorithms. As one writer... Jun 14 2010 Experience report: a knowledge repository-centric approach to performance tuning Suryanarayana G., Bhattacharya S.  ISEC 2010 (Proceedings of the 3rd India Software Engineering Conference, Mysore, India,  Feb 25-27, 2010) 131-136, 2010. Type: Proceedings Perf-Drive, a knowledge repository consisting of human experts and a collection of reports on past performance-tuning experiences at Siemens Information Systems Limited (SISL), a software company, is described and evaluated in this paper. It has... Jun 7 2010 Evolution of communication and language in embodied agents Nolfi S., Mirolli M.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2010. 313 pp. Type: Book It is difficult to explain the evolution of language because there are no language fossils. Language is either present or it’s not. This book’s approach to the problem of language emergence--the use of embodied agents to model... Jun 1 2010 Mathematica navigator: mathematics, statistics and graphics Ruskeepaa H.,  ACADEMIC PRESS, Boston, MA, 2009. 1136 pp. Type: Book This new edition of the book is a most interesting combination of two different media: the first is a classic book--in fact, a very large book, with more than 1,100 pages, that provides a detailed introduction to Version 6 of the Mathematica ...
