	View: Partial Review Hide Review Factors that affect software systems development project outcomes: a survey of research : ACM Computing Surveys McLeod and MacDonell present a survey of relatively current research (from 1996 to 2006) about the factors that affect project outcomes in software... Software Development (K.6.3...) | Feb 7 12 Can the utility of anonymized data be used for privacy breaches? : ACM Trans. on Knowledge Discovery from Data Database and information security specialists should remain cognizant of the loophole exploitation of logical patterns in published data. Public data and background... General (H.2.0) | Feb 17 12 An efficient scheme for curve and surface construction based on a set of interpolatory basis functions : ACM Transactions on Graphics Curve and surface modeling based on splines or other types of basis functions is a common practice in industry. It is desirable for the basis functions interpolating the control points to be smoothly... Animation (I.3.7...) | Feb 14 12 Depixelizing pixel art : ACM Transactions on Graphics Pixel art is a particular form of digital art where pixels are used to represent the different features in an image. Almost all arcade game graphics were done using pixel art. At the time they were... Fine Arts (J.5...) | Feb 2 12 Displacement interpolation using Lagrangian mass transport : ACM Transactions on Graphics Various applications (for example, those in computer graphics) require the interpolation of values between pairs of functions or pairs of distributions. A straightforward approach, such... 3D Graphics & Realism (I.3.7) | Feb 14 12 Progressive photon mapping: a probabilistic approach : ACM Transactions on Graphics Knaus and Zwicker introduce a probabilistic deviation of progressive photon mapping. This new approach has many advantages over previous approaches: it does not require the maintenance... Raytracing (I.3.7...) | Feb 17 12 Stereoscopic 3D copy & paste : ACM Transactions on Graphics Three-dimensional movies, television programs, and games are becoming increasingly popular. This trend fosters an urgent need for tools to edit stereoscopic 3D images. “Copy & paste” is one of the... Picture/Image Generation (I.3.3) | Feb 15 12 Learning to identify educational materials : ACM Transactions on Speech and Language Processing Users often receive search results that are not accurate or consistent with their expectations. In this paper, the authors address the challenge of automating document... Text Analysis (I.2.7...) | Feb 6 12 Designing and implementing a measurement program for Scrum teams: What do agile developers really need and want? : C3S2E Agile software development relies on burn-down charts to track progress. Traditional process control, however, demands substantial measurement programs. So what are the needs and wants... Software Development (K.6.3...) | Feb 2 12 OCaml for the masses : Comm. of the ACM One of the often-cited success stories in the use of functional programming in recent years has been the deployment of OCaml by Jane Street, a trading company dealing in high volumes of shares... Applicative (Functional) Prog. (D.1.1) | Feb 13 12 A first course in machine learning This relatively short book (less than 300 pages) for such a topic is in fact the best available introduction to machine learning. Its main virtue is that it presents a deeply mathematical engineering discipline in simple but not simplistic terms. It may cause... Learning (I.2.6) | Feb 17 12 A first course in machine learning In this book, the authors introduce some of the basic tenets of applied mathematics and the role they play in the discipline of machine learning. The text is intended for advanced undergraduates and... Learning (I.2.6) | Feb 16 12 Adaptive cryptographic access control Data encryption--the main technique used to control access to data--is the subject of this book. Two assumptions underlie the presented algorithms: users are divided into groups (hierarchies)... Cryptographic Controls (D.4.6...) | Feb 10 12 Algorithms in structural molecular biology It is hardly news to any scientifically literate person--especially in the computing sciences--that there is a lot of interest in the use of computers for molecular biology. The successful sequencing of the human genome during the previous decade, largely... Biology & Genetics (J.3...) | Feb 21 12 Arduino robotics Part of a popular series, this book is aimed at enabling readers to learn how to build a variety of robots on their own, even when starting with no robotics experience. What is specific about this book is that all of the robots described use the popular... Robotics (I.2.9) | Feb 13 12 Basic electronics for scientists and engineers Eggleston argues that scientists and engineers often deal with measurement and experimental data in the form of electric signals obtained from some sort of electronic circuitry. In many cases, the circuitry is self-made because the desired electronic... Electronics (J.2...) | Feb 2 12 Bayesian time series models Time series data appear in many areas, such as economics, audio analysis, video streaming, and biomedicine. Probabilistic models are popular tools to describe the characteristics of time series because... Time Series Analysis (G.3...) | Feb 6 12 Cloud computing: Web-based dynamic IT services The authors’ closing words express their intent with this book--an intent that is fulfilled: “We hope that, with this little compendium, we succeeded in giving you a short and concise overview of the... Cloud Computing (C.2.4...) | Feb 13 12 Computer architecture (5th ed.) Moore’s law states that the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit (IC) doubles approximately every two years. This exponential growth in IC technology has led to advancements in everything digital, from central processing... General (C.1.0) | Feb 9 12 Data architecture: from Zen to reality Data--customer data, operating data, and historical data--is essential to any modern organization. For organizations that recognize the importance of data, gathering and storing such data can be a significant... Data Storage Representations (E.2) | Feb 10 12 Display 510152550100 per column
