Baldwin1 1Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Computer Science 2Department of Mathematics and Statistics United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) USAFA, Colorado Springs, CO Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH {chris.augeri, barry.mullins}@afit.edu [email protected] {dursun.bulutoglu, rusty.baldwin}@afit.edu ABSTRACT We expand previous XML compression studies [9, 26, 34, 47] by XML simplifies data exchange among heterogeneous computers, proposing the XML file corpus and a combined efficiency metric. but it is notoriously verbose and has spawned the development of The corpus was assembled using guidelines given by developers many XML-specific compressors and binary formats. We present of the Canterbury corpus [3], files often used to assess compressor an XML test corpus and a combined efficiency metric integrating performance. The efficiency metric combines execution speed compression ratio and execution speed. We use this corpus and and compression ratio, enabling simultaneous assessment of these linear regression to assess 14 general-purpose and XML-specific metrics, versus prioritizing one metric over the other. We analyze compressors relative to the proposed metric. We also identify key collected metrics using linear regression models (ANOVA) versus factors when selecting a compressor. Our results show XMill or a simple comparison of means, e.g., X is 20% better than Y. WBXML may be useful in some instances, but a general-purpose compressor is often the best choice. 2. XML OVERVIEW XML has gained much acceptance since first proposed in 1998 by Categories and Subject Descriptors the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Creating a Showcase Portfolio CD
Creating a Showcase Portfolio C.D. At the end of student teaching it will be necessary for you to export your showcase portfolio, burn it onto a C.D., and turn it in to your university supervisor. This can be done in TaskStream by going to your “Resource Manager” within TaskStream. Once you have clicked on the Resource Manager, choose the tab across the top that says “Pack-It-Up”. You will be packing up a package of your work that is already in TaskStream. A showcase portfolio is a very large file and will have to be packed up by TaskStream in a compressed file format. This will also require you to uncompress the portfolio after downloading. This tutorial will assist with the steps to follow. The next step is to select the work you would like TaskStream to package. This is done by clicking on the tab for selecting work. You will then be asked what type of work you want to package. Your showcase portfolio is a presentation portfolio, so you will click there and click next step. The next step will be to choose the presentation portfolio you want packaged, check the box, and click next step. TaskStream will confirm your selection and then ask you to choose the type of file you need your work to be packaged into. If you are using a computer with a Windows operating system, you will choose a zip file. If you are using a computer with a Macintosh operating system, you will choose a sit file. You will also be asked how you would like TaskStream to notify you that they have completed the task of packing up your work.

Precursor PDF News 10:4 Adobe InDesign to Challenge Quark At last week’s Seybold conference in Boston, Adobe Systems finally took the wraps off its upcoming “Quark-killer” called InDesign. The new-from-the-ground-up page layout program is set for a summer debut. InDesign will be able to open QuarkXPress 3 and 4 documents and will even offer a set of Quark keyboard shortcuts. The beefy new program will also offer native Photoshop, Illustrator and PDF file format support. The PDF capabilities in particular will change workflows to PostScript 3 output devices. Pricing is expected to be $699 U.S. Find out more on- line at: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/indesign/main.html PageMaker 6.5 Plus: Focus on Business With the appearance on InDesign, Adobe PageMaker Plus has been targeted toward business customers with increased integration with Microsoft Office products, more templates and included Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition in the box. Upgrade prices are $99 U.S. PageMaker Plus is expected to ship by the end of March. Find out more on-line at: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/pagemaker/main.html Adobe Acrobat 4.0 Also at Seybold, Adobe announced that Acrobat 4.0 will ship in late March for $249 ($99 for upgrades) The new version offers Press Optimization for PDF file creation and provides the ability to view a document with the fonts it was created with or fonts native to the viewing machine. Greater post file creation editing capabilities are also built-in And, of course, the new version is 100% hooked in to PostScript 3.

Rule Base with Frequent Bit Pattern and Enhanced K-Medoid Algorithm for the Evaluation of Lossless Data Compression
Volume 3, No. 1, Jan-Feb 2012 ISSN No. 0976-5697 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science RESEARCH PAPER Available Online at www.ijarcs.info Rule Base with Frequent Bit Pattern and Enhanced k-Medoid Algorithm for the Evaluation of Lossless Data Compression. Nishad P.M.* Dr. N. Nalayini Ph.D Scholar, Department Of Computer Science Associate professor, Department of computer science NGM NGM College, Pollachi, India College Pollachi, Coimbatore, India [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents a study of various lossless compression algorithms; to test the performance and the ability of compression of each algorithm based on ten different parameters. For evaluation the compression ratios of each algorithm on different parameters are processed. To classify the algorithms based on the compression ratio, rule base is constructed to mine with frequent bit pattern to analyze the variations in various compression algorithms. Also, enhanced K- Medoid clustering is used to cluster the various data compression algorithms based on various parameters. The cluster falls dissentingly high to low after the enhancement. The framed rule base consists of 1,048,576 rules, which is used to evaluate the compression algorithm. Two hundred and eleven Compression algorithms are used for this study. The experimental result shows only few algorithm satisfies the range “High” for more number of parameters. Keywords: Lossless compression, parameters, compression ratio, rule mining, frequent bit pattern, K–Medoid, clustering. I. INTRODUCTION the maximum shows the peek compression ratio of algorithms on various parameters, for example 19.43 is the Data compression is a method of encoding rules that minimum compression ratio and the 76.84 is the maximum allows substantial reduction in the total number of bits to compression ratio for the parameter EXE shown in table-1 store or transmit a file.

Preparing and Submitting Electronic Files for the IEEE 2000 Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing Conference (Mobihoc)
Preparing and Submitting Electronic Files for the IEEE 2000 Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing Conference (MobiHOC) Please read the detailed instructions that follow before you start, taking particular note of preferred fonts, formats, and delivery options. The quality of the finished product is largely dependent upon receiving your help at this stage of the publication process. Producing Your Paper Acceptable Formats Papers can be submitted in either PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF) (see Generating PostScript and PDF Files). Using LaTeX Documents converted from the TeX typesetting language into PostScript or PDF files usually contain fixed-resolution bitmap fonts that do not print or display well on a variety of printer and computer screens. Although Adobe Acrobat Distiller will convert a PostScript language file with bitmapped fonts (level 3) into PDF, these fonts display slowly and do not render well on screen in the resulting PDF file. But, if you use Type 1 versions of the fonts you will get a compact file format that delivers the optimal font quality when used with any display screen, zoom mode, or printer resolution. Using Type 1 fonts with DVIPS The default behavior of Rokicki's DVIPS is to embed Type 3 bitmapped fonts. You need access to the Type 1 versions of the fonts you use in your documents in order to embed the font information (see Fonts). Type 1 versions of the Computer Modern fonts are available in the BaKoMa collection and from commercial type vendors. Before distributing files with embedded fonts, consult the license agreement for your font package.
