This book does not provide any defined solutions or silver bullets. Integrating J2EE Platform applications with legacy systems is a difficult task that requires a thorough understanding of both legacy system applications and object-oriented design. We have tried to find a practical approach to applying the J2EE integration tier patterns in real-world situations, the main design principle being that of separation of concerns. Some of the designs described in this book are currently running in production, while others represent theoretical work that has not yet been tested in a full-scale production environment. We hope, however, that in reading this book you will gain valuable tools with which to start the long journey toward application integration.

The quadtree and octree are hierarchical data structures used to represent spatial data. They are based on the principle of recursive decomposition (similar to divide and con- conquer methods [Aho74]). This book focuses on the use of quadtree and octree representations of region data (in two and three dimensions, respectively) in applications in computer graphics, image processing, and geographic information systems (Gis), as well as computer vision, robotics, pattern recognition, solid modeling, and other areas. For a comprehensive treatment of related hierarchical representations of spatial data including points, lines, rectangles, regions, and volumes, see [Same90a]. To many people, the terms quadtree and octree have taken on a generic meaning synonymous with the term hierarchical data structure. Hierarchical data structures are useful because of their ability to focus on the interesting subsets of the data. This focusing results in an efficient representation and in improved execution times. Thus they are particularly convenient for performing set operations. Many of the operations described can often be performed as efficiently, or more so, with other data structures. Nevertheless, hierarchical data structures are attractive because of their conceptual clarity and ease of implementation. In addition, the use of some of them provides a spatial index. This is very useful in applications involving spatial databases.

This text presents a realistic view of the role of statistics in the courtroom. While obviously intended to introduce statistics to attornies, it provides statisticians such as myself with a clearcut view of what works and what doesn't work in a courtroom setting. Recommended both for attornies who want to brush up or relearn their statistics to get the most out of a statistician, and statisticians who want to develop productive working relationships with attornies.

Computers and the Law provides readers with an introduction to the legal issues associated with computing - particularly in the massively networked context of the Internet. Assuming no previous knowledge of the law or any special knowledge of programming or computer science, this textbook offers undergraduates of all disciplines and professionals in the computing industry an understanding of basic legal principles and an awareness of the peculiarities associated with legal issues in cyberspace. This book introduces readers to the fundamental workings of the law in physical space and suggests the opportunity to create new types of laws with nontraditional goals.

The foundations of functional programming languages are examined from both historical and technical perspectives. Their evolution is traced through several critical periods: early work on lambda calculus and combinatory calculus, Lisp, Iswim, FP, ML, and modern functional languages such as Miranda1 and Haskell. The fundamental premises on which the functional programming methodology stands are critically analyzed with respect to philosophical, theoretical, and pragmatic concerns. Particular attention is paid to the main features that characterize modern functional languages: higher-order functions, lazy evaluation, equations and pattern matching, strong static typing and type inference, and data abstraction. In addition, current research areas—such as parallelism, nondeterminism, input/output, and state-oriented computations—are examined with the goal of predicting the future development and application of functional languages.

The purpose of this book is to provide a theory of Digital Power Electronics and its applications. It is well organized in 400 pages and over 300 diagrams. Traditionally, Power Electronics is analyzed by the analog control theory. For over a century, people have enjoyed analog control in Power Electronics, and good results in the analog control and its applications in Power Electronics mislead people into an incorrect conclusion that Power Electronics must be in analog control scheme. The mature control results allowed people to think that Power Electronics is a sunset knowledge.We would like to change these incorrect conclusions, and confer new life onto the traditional Power Electronics. In this book the authors initially introduce the digital control theory applied to Power Electronics, which is completely different from the traditional control scheme.

The authors provide a review of the necessary background mathematical techniques and offer an overview of the basic concepts in estimation. They then provide detailed treatments of all the major issues in estimation with a focus on applying these techniques to real systems.

Технологія Ethernet останнім часом перестала бути лише технологією, що застосовується при побудові локальних (внутрішньооб’єктових) мереж. Сучасний рівень технології охоплює мережі LAN, WAN та MAN. Сучасне застосування технології Ethernet передбачає роботу на високих швидкостях 1 Гбіт/с, 10 Гбіт/с, використання оптичного волокна, безпосередній вихід на первинну мережу зв’язку, взаємодію технології Ethernet з іншими технологіями мережі доступу (наприклад DSL) та первинної мережі (наприклад SDH, WDM). Автори намагались в цьому посібнику дати опис використання технології Ethernet як в локальних мережах так і на первинній мережі, викласти принципи функціонування технології Ethernet, параметри складових, що входять до мережі, котра використовує технологію Ethernet.

The paper conducts a critical analysis of the potential legal basis and scope of the future European Union (EU)-Ukraine enhanced agreement. Accepting that the most probable and most beneficial possibility for Ukraine is to conclude an association agreement with the EU on the basis of Article 310 EC Treaty (EC), it is argued that the objectives of the enhanced co-operation between the EU and Ukraine - as expected and desired by the Ukrainian political élite - could be achieved by a partnership agreement concluded on the basis of Article 181a EC. Furthermore, if the new enhanced EU-Ukraine agreement were concluded as a partnership agreement, it might be better suited for the solving of certain political and legal challenges in contemporary EU-Ukraine relations. First, a new enhanced agreement concluded on the basis of Article 181a EC would not entail unjustified political expectations - on the part of Ukraine - of obtaining the perspective of full EU-membership in the near future. Second, a future EU-Ukraine partnership agreement would be the best option for a “transitional” enhanced agreement before the Treaty of Lisbon enters into force. Third, a future partnership agreement between the EU and Ukraine will not undermine the fundamentals of the evolving strategic partnership between the EU and Russia.
