Review Laszlo Systems: Rich Client Capabilities Based on Macromedia Flash ZapNote / ZapThink, LLC:In the past, companies had to forego many of the user interface and productivity advantages that other distributed computing methods, such as traditional client/server applications, used to give them. Companies looking to implement rich client technologies across a heterogeneous IT infrastructure will be most interested in a new breed of solution focused specifically on providing rich user interaction across standards-based, loosely coupled distributed computing environments. This solution set is the class of rich client-focused technologies. Laszlo Systems has produced its own server-side offering called the Laszlo Presentation Server and XML-based development language called LZX to that provides rich client interaction and consumption of Web Services through the delivery of interactive Macromedia Flash SWF files to end-user clients.

Review Datapower XS40 XML Security Gateway: Comprehensive XML & Web Services Security on a Hardened Network Device ZapNote / ZapThink, LLC:XML appliances have recently emerged as a category of network device that can address XML and Web Services security and performance issues that traditional network appliances cannot. To properly secure XML traffic, a device must operate on the content of the messages that pass through the network, and take appropriate action on parts of each message. Clearly, such content-based operations are resource intensive, which is the primary reason for solving such problems on dedicated hardware devices like the DataPower XS40 XML Gateway. DataPower’s XS40 appliance can handle a wide range of XML security, performance, transformation, and routing, functionality, all at wirespeed, in a security hardened appliance that requires little skill to install and administer.

Review Focus Software: Making Forms More Intelligent ZapNote / ZapThink, LLC:Web-based forms are a particularly crude way of soliciting data from users. In HTML, the fields of data that a form solicits, the presentation of that form to the user, and the way that form elements bind to data and send them back to the server are all tightly coupled to each other. It is very difficult to separate the way that a system represents a form from the information that the form contains. The W3C hopes to change this reality by introducing an XML-based specification called XForms that separates form presentation, form logic, and data binding to form elements. In addition, vendors like Focus Software are building XForms-based solutions that enable companies to build and deploy dynamic electronic forms to a wide range of endpoints and devices such as Web browsers, cell phones, and interactive voice systems.

Review Web Site Usability Almanac 2004 / Sterling Audits Books:Web Site Usability Almanac 2004 The Web Site Usability Almanac 2004 is a landmark study in the usability of commercial and non-profit web sites, with an eye on customer service and automation. The Almanac represents the output of a joint research initiative sponsored by Sterling Audits' own research staff and its research affiliates. The research base includes thousands of web sites from 9 industry segments including: Communications; Financial Services; Government; Healthcare; Insurance; Manufacturing; Retail; Transportation; and Utilities. The Almanac concentrates on survey results of each web site in five critical areas: Navigation; Content; Usability; Interactivity; and Credibility. Scores for these critical areas are be tabulated using the Sterling Audits Research Portal software. Research questions are crystallized into small chunks of data that bubble up to the five focus areas mentioned above. Over 200 data points are used from each web site. Each of the five critical areas is assigned 20 points out of a possible 100. Weights are used in each area based on the criticality of the item. The Almanac is arranged by chapter. [+]There is an introductory chapter, a chapter on approach and methodology - and the rest are dedicated to the survey results in the five critical areas. There are over 200 graphs and charts in this almanac. We list the upper quartile, median and lower quartile averages for each category. Who should buy this report? If you are a stakeholder in web site self-service and customer service automation – you should own this report. The benchmarking data will reveal what "best in class" is for each covered industry. You will be able to peg the top performance averages in each segment and each critical survey area. This information can be used to benchmark your own system performance and ultimately may save you thousands, if not millions of dollars in automation efficiencies.

Review A Computational Framework for Segmentation and Grouping / Elsevier Science:This book represents a summary of the research we have been conducting since the early 1990s, and describes a conceptual framework which addresses some current shortcomings, and proposes a unified approach for a broad class of problems. While the framework is defined, our research continues, and some of the elements presented here will no doubt evolve in the coming years. It is organized in eight chapters. In the Introduction chapter, we present the definition of the problems, and give an overview of the proposed approach and its implementation. In particular, we illustrate the limitations of the 2. 5D sketch, and motivate the use of a representation in terms of layers instead. In chapter 2, we review some of the relevant research in the literature. The discussion focuses on general computational approaches for early vision, and individual methods are only cited as references. Chapter 3 is the fundamental chapter, as it presents the elements of our salient feature inference engine, and their interaction. It introduced tensors as a way to represent information, tensor fields as a way to encode both constraints and results, and tensor voting as the communication scheme. [+]Chapter 4 describes the feature extraction steps, given the computations performed by the engine described earlier. In chapter 5, we apply the generic framework to the inference of regions, curves, and junctions in 2-D. The input may take the form of 2-D points, with or without orientation. We illustrate the approach on a number of examples, both basic and advanced. In chapter 6, we apply the framework to the inference of surfaces, curves and junctions in 3-D. Here, the input consists of a set of 3-D points, with or without as associated normal or tangent direction. We show a number of illustrative examples, and also point to some applications of the approach. In chapter 7, we use our framework to tackle 3 early vision problems, shape from shading, stereo matching, and optical flow computation. In chapter 8, we conclude this book with a few remarks, and discuss future research directions. We include 3 appendices, one on Tensor Calculus, one dealing with proofs and details of the Feature Extraction process, and one dealing with the companion software packages.

Review Graph Drawing Software (Mathematics and Visualization) / Springer:Automatic Graph Drawing is concerned with the layout of relational structures as they occur in Computer Science (Data Base Design, Data Mining, Web Mining), Bioinformatics (Metabolic Networks), Businessinformatics (Organization Diagrams, Event Driven Process Chains), or the Social Sciences (Social Networks). In mathematical terms, such relational structures are modeled as graphs or more general objects such as hypergraphs, clustered graphs, or compound graphs. A variety of layout algorithms that are based on graph theoretical foundations have been developed in the last two decades and implemented in software systems. After an introduction to the subject area and a concise treatment of the technical foundations for the subsequent chapters, this book features 14 chapters on state-of-the-art graph drawing software systems, ranging from general "tool boxes'' to customized software for various applications. These chapters are written by leading experts, they follow a uniform scheme and can be read independently from each other.

Review Case Study ZapNote: The Hartford ZapNote: Web Services Management Adoption at an Early Adopter / ZapThink, LLC:The insurance industry is leading the economy in the adoption of Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs), and The Hartford is an early adopter of these technologies among insurance companies. When it became necessary to update an agent tool that required integration to a heterogeneous collection of back-end systems, taking an SOA approach was a natural fit for them. The Hartford realized early in this project that they needed to acquire a Web Services management (WSM) solution, so they established formal selection criteria, invited several vendors to participate, and narrowed the selection down to two vendors. They then put those two vendors through an exhaustive, three-week proof-of-concept in order to determine which vendor would meet their needs. This case study details The Hartford’s selection process, and the criteria they used to make the selection. As an early adopter, The Hartford’s approach can serve as a useful lesson for companies in many industries considering a WSM solution.
