With Chromatic Graph Theory, Second Edition, the authors present various fundamentals of graph theory that lie outside of graph colorings, including basic terminology and results, trees and connectivity, Eulerian and Hamiltonian graphs, matchings and factorizations, and graph embeddings. Readers will see that the authors accomplished the primary goal of this textbook, which is to introduce graph theory with a coloring theme and to look at graph colorings in various ways. The textbook also cove...

This text is for professional software developers who want to tackle complex enterprise-wide client/server applications using Oracle Power Objects. It looks at advanced programming techniques for getting the most from the software, for example, how to encapsulate code to create generic reusable objects, how to improve application performance, and how to customize applications. Power objects in relation to other technologies is included, covering Oracle 7 and mobile agents and building powerful e...

Faced with the challenge of solving the hard optimization problems that abound in the real world, existing methods often encounter great difficulties. Important applications in business, engineering or economics cannot be tackled by the techniques that have formed the predominant focus of academic research throughout the past three decades. Exact and heuristic approaches are dramatically changing our ability to solve problems of practical significance and are extending the frontier of problems t...

This is a motivated presentation of recent results on tree transducers, applied to studying the general properties of formal models and for providing semantics to context-free languages. The authors consider top-down tree transducers, macro tree transducers, attributed tree transducers, and macro attributed tree transducers. A unified terminology is used to define them, and their transformational capacities are compared. This handbook on tree transducers will serve as a base for further research...

Visions of future worlds have always exercised a powerful fascination. From the pulp artists of the '30s, through the airbrush artists of the '70s and '80s, to today's CGI animators, science-fiction has always provided the artist with a blank canvas on which their imagination could run wild. Today, as more artists enter the digital arena, these alien vistas, towering cityscapes, vast spacecraft and strange lifeforms are becoming breathtakingly realistic. With the right tools, you can bring your...

Not your typical computer tutorial, this book aspires to discuss more than how to simply use the software it targets the uses of blogging, specifically among teen users, and how this technology is used in the definition of an online personality. In other words, this book doesn't just show readers how to build a blog; this title focuses on how to effectively use a blog, all under the auspices of, again, a younger audience. Teens account for the majority of blogs currently in use on the Web. Th...

A definitive guide for accurate state-of-the-art modelling of free surface flows Understanding the dynamics of free surface flows is the starting point of many environmental studies, impact studies, and waterworks design. Typical applications, once the flows are known, are water quality, dam impact and safety, pollutant control, and sediment transport. These studies used to be done in the past with scale models, but these are now being replaced by numerical simulation performed by software suite...
