Drowning in Oil: BP & the Reckless Pursuit of Profit

As night settled on April 20, 2010, a series of explosions rocked Deepwater Horizon, the immense semisubmersible drilling platform leased by British Petroleum, located 40 miles off the Louisiana coast. The ensuing inferno claimed 11 lives, and it would rage uncontained for two days, until its wreckage sank to a final resting place nearly a...

Digital Asset Management
Digital Asset Management

My interest in this subject started when I joined the broadcast equipment manufacturer, Chyron. For a few years I was the product manager for their playout automation and asset management product lines. These were one of the first applications that gave television broadcasters the means to manage the ingest, storage, archiving, and...

Mining Complex Data (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Data mining and knowledge discovery can today be considered as stable fields with numerous efficient methods and studies that have been proposed to extract knowledge from data. Nevertheless, the famous golden nugget is still challenging. Actually, the context evolved since the first definition of the KDD process and knowledge has now...

Beginning ASP.NET Web Pages with WebMatrix

Back in 1997, when I began my career as a professional web developer, I started working with Classic ASP. After a brief training period in a few different programming languages such as C++ and Java, I was thrown in at the deep end and assigned to a project to build an Intranet application for a large consultancy firm in the Netherlands...

Migrating to iPhone and iPad for .NET Developers

Ever since I spotted and started reading my first computer book in 1981, I knew Information Technology (IT) was going to be an important part of my life. I feel privileged to have been able to make a career out of something I enjoy, and the fact that it changes on what seems to be a monthly basis means it never gets boring. It still...

Theory and Applications of Models of Computation: Third International Conference, TAMC 2006, Beijing, China
Theory and Applications of Models of Computation: Third International Conference, TAMC 2006, Beijing, China

In several practical circumstances we have to solve a problem whose instance is not a priori completely known. Situations of this kind occur in computer systems and networks management, in financial decision making, in robotics etc. Problems that have to be solved without a complete knowledge of the instance are called on-line...

Programming Reactive Extensions and LINQ
Programming Reactive Extensions and LINQ

Right now, we as programmers are at an impasse—a transition period between the well-understood world of imperative programming, and a world that is increasingly at odds with this model. In the ’80s, everything was simple: one machine, one thread, no network.

CPUs are now scaling horizontally, adding more and more...

Clojure in Action
Clojure in Action

I can tell you how much I enjoy being a geek. I can tell you how fascinated I was with the punch-cards my dad showed me back in 1985. I can tell you how I got my first computer when I was seven. And I can tell you that I’ve loved programming since 1989. I can tell you a great many things about all that, but I’m not sure how...

Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems: 7th International Conference

Cutting planes (cuts) are very popular in the OR community, where they are used to strengthen the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation of Mixed-Integer Programs (MIPs) in the hope of improving the performance of an exact LPbased solver. In particular, an intense research effort has been devoted to the study of families of general cuts,...
