Review ZapNote: Epicentric ZapNote: Web Services Portal Platform and User Interface Specifications / ZapThink, LLC:

Portals are being used to provide access to content sources or applications such as Siebel and SAP, and enable a common composite application that is accessible via a web browser-based interface. There is a strong intersection with this application-centric use of portals and what is going on with Web Services. Portals provide a compelling means for application delivery of Web Services in a familiar development and management environment. Epicentric has produced a number of advanced products and services to address this capability, and has championed the development of XML-based formats for specification of presentation-layer interfaces for Web Services.

Review ZapNote: Ipedo ZapNote: An In-Memory Native XML Data Storage System / ZapThink, LLC:

Ipedo has developed a proprietary, hierarchical, in-memory database engine aimed at storing XML documents "natively". The Ipedo XML Database uses memory techniques to get substantial performance gains versus some other NXD approaches. Built as an all-Java server, the Ipedo system is meant to be easily integrated with typical application server environments. Ipedo has extended XPath for search across multiple XML documents and has also included XSLT transformations within the data store itself.

Review ZapNote: MISMO ZapNote: An Implementation of Mortgage Industry Standards / ZapThink, LLC:

The need for standardization and simplification in the mortgage industry is clear. In order to obtain a mortgage, many complex and interrelated processes must occur. These processes frequently cross-organizational and divisional boundaries and so standards have long been a requirement for communication. One of the biggest issues in the mortgage industry is the number of interactions between collaborating parties and the complexity of these interactions. The Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO) was created in 1999 under the auspices of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) in order to facilitate the creation and maintenance of XML data interchange standards for the mortgage industry. MISMO defines actual XML element and attribute names that represent a standardized view and organization of mortgage-related data elements.

Review ZapNote: Commerce.Net ZapNote: Redefining Online Purchasing / ZapThink, LLC:

While there no doubt are more than a handful of XML-based eBusiness and e-Commerce specifications, OBI differentiates itself by focusing on the business processes and data sets required to support catalog, configurator, and other e-Procurement transactions expressed in ANSI x12, UN/EDIFACT 96A and XML. The OBI specification facilitates Internet-based transactions between trading partners, particularly with key contracted suppliers of commodity goods and services. The standard specifically targets the transactions of indirect materials, including maintenance, repair, operations (MRO) materials, and office and laboratory supplies.

Review Springer  / Image Textures and Gibbs Random Fields (COMPUTATIONAL IMAGING AND VISION Volume 16) (Computational Imaging and Vision) Edition: 1st
Publication date: 1999-09-01
Dewey code: 621.367
Price: $155.00

Review Image Textures and Gibbs Random Fields (COMPUTATIONAL IMAGING AND VISION Volume 16) (Computational Imaging and Vision) / Springer:

This book presents novel techniques for describing image textures. Contrary to the usual practice of embedding the images to known modelling frameworks borrowed from statistical physics or other domains, this book deduces the Gibbs models from basic image features and tailors the modelling framework to the images. This approach results in more general Gibbs models than can be either Markovian or non-Markovian and possess arbitrary interaction structures and strengths. The book presents computationally feasible algorithms for parameter estimation and image simulation and demonstrates their abilities and limitations by numerous experimental results. The book avoids too abstract mathematical constructions and gives explicit image-based explanations of all the notions involved. Audience: The book can be read by both specialists and graduate students in computer science and electrical engineering who take an interest in texture analysis and synthesis. Also, the book may be interesting to specialists and graduate students in applied mathematics who explore random fields.

Review ZapNote: ASC ZapNote: Working Towards Cross-Industry Convergence / ZapThink, LLC:

As part of a joint initiative with the UN/EDIFACT Working Group, the ASC X12 working group aims to create a set of Joint Core Components (JCC) that will serve as the basis for business objects valid for both X12 and UN/EDIFACT business processes. These business processes can then be applied to XML initiatives as well as future, as-of-yet-undeveloped efforts. In particular, these Core Components will be applied to the work of the ebXML group, which is seeking to develop a cross-industry lingua for e-Business.

Publication date: 1994-12-31
Dewey code: 006.42
List Price: $213.50
Price: $374.47

Review Signal Processing for Computer Vision / Springer:

Signal Processing for Computer Vision is a unique and thorough treatment of the signal processing aspects of filters and operators for low-level computer vision. Computer vision has progressed considerably over recent years. From methods only applicable to simple images, it has developed to deal with increasingly complex scenes, volumes and time sequences. A substantial part of this book deals with the problem of designing models that can be used for several purposes within computer vision. These partial models have some general properties of invariance generation and generality in model generation. Signal Processing for Computer Vision is the first book to give a unified treatment of representation and filtering of higher order data, such as vectors and tensors in multidimensional space. Included is a systematic organisation for the implementation of complex models in a hierarchical modular structure and novel material on adaptive filtering using tensor data representation. Signal Processing for Computer Vision is intended for final year undergraduate and graduate students as well as engineers and researchers in the field of computer vision and image processing.
