Jeff Heaton, "Programming Spiders, Bots, and Aggregators in Java"
Sybex | ISBN 0782140408 | 2002 Year | PDF | 2,86 Mb | 512 Pages
The content and services available on the web continue to be accessed mostly
through direct human control. But this is changing. Increasingly, users rely on
automated agents that save them time and effort by programmatically retrieving
content, performing complex interactions, and aggregating data from diverse
sources. Programming Spiders, Bots, and Aggregators in Java teaches you how to
build and deploy a wide variety of these agents-from single-purpose bots to
exploratory spiders to aggregators that present a unified view of information
from multiple user accounts. You will quickly build on your basic knowledge of
Java to quickly master the techniques that are essential to this specialized
world of programming, including parsing HTML, interpreting data, working with
cookies, reading and writing XML, and managing high-volume workloads. You'll
also learn about the ethical issues associated with bot use--and the limitations
imposed by some websites. This book offers two levels of instruction, both of
which are focused on the library of routines provided on the companion CD. If
your main concern is adding ready-made functionality to an application, you'll
achieve your goals quickly thanks to step-by-step instructions and sample
programs that illustrate effective implementations. If you're interested in the
technologies underlying these routines, you'll find in-depth explanations of how
they work and the techniques required for customization.
J.Th.Dickersbach, "Characteristic Based Planning with mySAP SCM: Scenarios,
Processes, and Functions"
Springer | ISBN 3540257810 | 2005 Year | PDF | 3,54 Mb | 161 Pages
Characteristics are used in SAP as attributes, e.g. to specify the configuration
of products or the properties of batches. In many industries engineering,
automotive, mill, pharmaceutical and foods to name the most typical supply
chain planning has to consider these characteristics. APO offers many different
functionalities for planning with characteristics, where each of the
functionalities has some prerequisites and incompatibilities. This book offers
help and advice for the basic design of the implementation by explaining the
processes and scenarios (process chains) for planning with characteristics, the
functionalities for planning with characteristics in APO including their
prerequisites and incompatibilities and the entities, dependencies and system
configuration determinants for planning with characteristics in R/3 and APO.
This book is based on the releases R/3 4.7 and mySAP SCM 4.1.
Tohru Katayama, "Subspace Methods for System Identification"
Springer | ISBN 1852339810 | 2005 Year | PDF | 5,61 Mb | 392 Pages
System identification provides methods for the sensible approximation of real
systems using a model set based on experimental input and output data. Tohru
Katayama sets out an in-depth introduction to subspace methods for system
identification in discrete-time linear systems thoroughly augmented with
advanced and novel results. The text is structured into three parts. First, the
mathematical preliminaries are dealt with: numerical linear algebra; system
theory; stochastic processes; and Kalman filtering. The second part explains
realization theory, particularly that based on the decomposition of Hankel
matrices, as it is applied to subspace identification methods. Two stochastic
realization results are included, one based on spectral factorization and
Riccati equations, the other on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for
stationary processes. Part III uses the development of stochastic realization
results, in the presence of exogenous inputs, to demonstrate the closed-loop
application of subspace identification methods CCA and ORT (based on orthogonal
decomposition). The addition of tutorial problems with solutions and Matlab®
programs which demonstrate various aspects of the methods propounded to
introductory and research material makes Subspace Methods for System
Identification not only an excellent reference for researchers but also a very
useful text for tutors and graduate students involved with courses in control
and signal processing. The book can be used for self-study and will be of much
interest to the applied scientist or engineer wishing to use advanced methods in
modeling and identification of complex systems.
