Writing this book was hard work, but also a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who made it
possible, especially Jinny Verdonck, Thomas Kraft, Ricky Nkrumah, Kirk Bateman, and the
whole Apress crew. A big thanks goes also to the community that continuously extends and
improves J2ME Polish!
Finally: a hands-on, Java-centric workbook companion for the classic Design Patterns! Workbook approach deepens your understanding, builds your confidence, and strengthens your skills. Covers all five categories of design pattern intent: interfaces, responsibility, construction, operations, and extensions. CD-ROM contains all code examples from the book -- plus bonus code examples not found in the book. About the Author: Steven John Metsker is a researcher and author focused on advanced techniques for magnifying the abilities of object-oriented software developers. A rising star in the patterns community, he was recently invited to join the acclaimed Hillside Group. He is author of Building Parsers with Java? (Addison-Wesley).
The Little Green BATS is the first and so far only Dutch team in the 3D simulation league. We are a group of graduate students from the department of AI at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. Our team name is derived from the fact that the first 3D agents in the league were balls and from the very philosophical observation that Balls Are Truly Spheres (BATS). This abbreviation reminded us of our favorite song Little Green Bag by The George Baker Selection and so the whole team name was born.
We entered the competition for the first time at the 10th edition of RoboCup at Bremen, Germany. unfortunately our hard work didn t pay off that time: already in the second round we got eliminated. However, after this we had a good base to build upon and the good time we had at the event and the nice community inspired us to continue and work hard for another year. This turned out to be defiantly worth it, because in 2007 in Atlanta we managed to become vice world champions!
Many of the pattern fi nding algorithms such as decision tree, classifi cation rules and clustering
techniques that are frequently used in data mining have been developed in machine learning
research community. Frequent pattern and association rule mining is one of the few excep-
tions to this tradition. The introduction of this technique boosted data mining research and its
impact is tremendous. The algorithm is quite simple and easy to implement. Experimenting
with Apriori-like algorithm is the fi rst thing that data miners try to do.

MPI stands for the Message Passing Interface. Written by the MPI Forum (a large committee comprising of a cross-section between industry and research representatives), MPI is a standardized API typically used for parallel and/or distributed computing. The MPI standard is comprised of 2 documents: MPI-1 (published in 1994) and MPI-2 (published in 1996). MPI-2 is, for the most part, additions and extensions to the original MPI-1 specification.
The MPI-1 and MPI-2 documents can be downloaded from the official MPI Forum web site: http://www.mpi-forum.org/.
Open MPI is an open source, freely available implementation of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 documents. The Open MPI software achieves high performance the Open MPI project is quite receptive to community input.
它試圖在不同的角度上提供網頁設計人員、應用程序設計人員、組件開發人員解決方案，讓不同技術的人員可以彼此合作又不互相干擾，它綜合了各家廠商現有的技術特點，由Java community Process（JCP）團隊研擬出來的一套標準，并在2004年三月發表了JavaServer Faces 1.0實現成果。
nTIM PATRICK has been working professionally as a software architect and developer for nearly
25 years. By day he develops custom business applications in Visual Basic for small to medium-
sized organizations. He is a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD). In April 2007,
Microsoft awarded Tim with its Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for his work in sup-
porting and promoting Visual Basic and its community of users. Tim received his under-
graduate degree in computer science from Seattle Pacific University. You can contact him

This tutorial was prepared for our freshman engineering students using the student version of MATLAB, because symbolic computations are covered in almost no introductory textbook. We are pleased to make it available to the international community, and would appreciate suggestions for its improvement. MATLAB’s symbolic engine permits the user to do things easily that are difficult or impossible to do numerically
Eclipse is the leading Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) for Java, with a rich ecosystem of plug-ins and an open
source framework that supports other languages and projects.
You’ll fnd this reference card useful for getting started with
Eclipse and exploring the breadth of its features.
We rundown the Eclipse distributions and confguration
options, then guide you through Views, Editors, and Perspec-
tives in Workbench 101. We list the top shortcuts and toolbar
actions for everyday development. And, we provide a guide to
the best places for fnding plug-ins and getting involved with
the Eclipse community.
