 Compression Schemes for Mining Large Datasets: A Machine Learning Perspective
This book addresses the challenges of data abstraction generation using a least number of database scans, compressing data through novel lossy and non-lossy schemes, and carrying out clustering and classification directly in the compressed domain. Schemes are presented which are shown to be efficient both in terms of space and time, while... | | Microsoft .NET and J2EE Interoperability ToolkitDiscover how to build applications that run on both the Microsoft .NET Framework and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)—and extend your customer reach and system shelf life. Whether your background is in .NET or J2EE, you’ll learn to implement many of the interoperability technologies available today, including Microsoft, Sun, and... | | Inside the Microsoft Build Engine: Using MSBuild and Team Foundation Build
Often when people think about build, they think just about the act of compiling some source code – when I hit F5 in the IDE, it builds, right? Well yes, kind of. In a real production build system, there is so much more to it than that. There are many kinds of builds – F5, desktop, nightly, continuous, rolling, gated, buddy etc.... |
| | Environmental Instrumentation and Analysis Handbook
It has been two decades since environmental science, environmental engineering,
and environmental consulting took root as major disciplines and professions
throughout the developed world. The learning curve has been steep as it relates
to the previously unrecognized physics of contaminant transport. Today those
principles are... | | Algorithms Sequential & Parallel: A Unified Approach
Effective computing requires the design, analysis, implementation, and evaluation
of algorithms to solve problems of interest. Computational problems come from
a wide variety of areas including science, engineering, business, athletics, architecture,
medicine, management, economics, psychology, anthropology, and entertainment,
to... |
