First Looks: ProCoder and the Flash Server Macromedia's Flash Communication Server MX is poised to change the face of the Web. Canopus's ProCoder software makes transcoding video drag-and-drop easy. David takes a first look at both and brings us his report. Mon, 22 Jul 2002
State of the Art: Desktop Video David surveys the latest advances in desktop video, including editing, postproduction, and sound products from Discreet, Sonic Foundry, Adobe, AIST, Boris, Matrox, Sony, Compaq, and others. Mon, 10 Jun 2002
State of the Art: Digital Printing Big commercial pre-press houses have the tools to produce color-accurate digital prints, but for independent photographers, designers, and consumers, it's been a tough row to hoe. The confluence of the latest imaging software with a new generation of printers changes that. Now it's possible for individuals and small businesses to produce professional-quality prints at a comparatively modest cost. Mon, 8 Apr 2002
Extending Enterprise Value with Web 2.0 In this webcast we will talk about how to simply build and quickly remix Web 2.0 applications and the role of the IT department and how they support mashups. We will discuss how IBM can help IT teams adapt existing enterprise systems as well as develop unique ones that can support end user driven mashups in a reliable, scalable and secure way. We will highlight a simple scenario adapting an enterprise information source for mashups and how to test it. We will also cover how IBM can help you build agile, fast and simple web applications based on dynamic scripting languages that dramatically reduces development time. Wednesday, September 24, 2008 - 12pm PT / 3pm ET
2008 International Mathematica Conference Dr. Dobb's interviews Wolfram Research's Theo Gray, co-founder and Director of User Interfaces, and Roger Germundsson, Director of Research and Development, about the upcoming 2008 International
Mathematica Conference.
In this volume of Best of BYTE, we explore the emergence of some heuristic algorithms. Although we have only scratched the surface of this intriguing subject, we hope we've suggested the potential of the synthesis of heuristics and algorithms.
