Since its introduction in 1997, OpenMP has gained support from most high-performance compiler and hardware vendors. Under the direction of the OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB), the OpenMP speci?cation has evolved, including the - cent release of Speci?cation 3. 0. Active research in OpenMP compilers, runtime systems, tools, and environments drives its evolution, including new features such as tasking. The community of OpenMP researchers and developers in academia and - dustry is united under cOMPunity (www. compunity. org). This organaization has held workshops on OpenMP around the world since 1999: the European Wo- shop on OpenMP (EWOMP), the North American Workshop on OpenMP App- cations and Tools (WOMPAT), and the Asian Workshop on OpenMP Experiences and Implementation (WOMPEI) attracted annual audiences from academia and industry. The International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP) consolidated these three workshop series into a single annual international event that rotates across the previous workshop sites. The?rst IWOMP meeting was held in 2005, in - gene, Oregon, USA. IWOMP 2006 took place in Reims, France, and IWOMP 2007 in Beijing, China. Each workshop drew over 60 participants from research and - dustry throughout the world. IWOMP 2008 continued the series with technical papers, panels, tutorials, and OpenMP status reports. The?rst IWOMP wo- shop was organized under the auspices of cOMPunity.

If you're seeking ways to build network-based applications or XML-based web services, Microsoft provides most of the tools you'll need. XML is integrated into the.NET Framework and Visual Studio.NET, but if you want to get a grasp on how.NET and XML actually work together, that's a different story. With.NET & XML, you can get under the hood to see how the.NET Framework implements XML, giving you the skills to write understandable XML-based code that interoperates with code written with other tools, and even other languages..NET & XML starts by introducing XML and the.NET Framework, and then teaches you how to read and write XML before moving on to complex methods for manipulating, navigating, transforming, and constraining it. To demonstrate the power of XML in.NET, author Niel Bornstein builds a simple hardware store inventory system throughout the book. As you move from chapter to chapter, you'll absorb increasingly complex information until you have enough knowledge to successfully program your own XML-based applications. This tutorial also contains a quick reference to the API, plus appendices present additional.NET assemblies that you can use to work with XML, and how to work with the.NET XML configuration file format.One study puts the potential market for new software based on XML at or near $100 billion over the next five years. The.NET Framework gives you a way to become a part of it. But to use XML and.NET effectively, you need to understand how these two technologies work together. This book gives you the insight to take full advantage of the power the two provide.

Cocoa® is more than just a collection of classes, and is certainly more than a simple framework. Cocoa is a complete API set, class library, framework, and development environment for building applications and tools to run on Mac OS® X. With over 240 classes, Cocoa is divided into two essential frameworks: Foundation and Application Kit. Above all else, Cocoa is a toolkit for creating Mac OS X application interfaces, and it provides access to all of the standard Aqua® interface components such as menus, toolbars, windows, buttons, to name a few.Cocoa in a Nutshell begins with a complete overview of Cocoa's object classes. It provides developers who may be experienced with other application toolkits the grounding they'll need to start developing Cocoa applications. Common programming tasks are described, and many chapters focus on the larger patterns in the frameworks so developers can understand the larger relationships between the classes in Cocoa, which is essential to using the framework effectively.Cocoa in a Nutshell is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a series of overview chapters that describe specific features of the Cocoa frameworks. Information you'll find in Part I includes:An overview of the Objective-C languageCoverage of the Foundation and Application Kit frameworksOverviews of Cocoa's drawing and text handling classesNetwork services such as hosts, Rendezvous URL services, sockets, and file handlingDistributed notifications and distributed objects for interapplication communicationExtending Cocoa applications with other frameworks, including the AddressBook, DiscRecording, and Messaging frameworksThe second half of the book is a detailed quick reference to Cocoa's Foundation and Application Kit (AppKit) classes. A complement to Apple's documentation, Cocoa in a Nutshell is the only reference to the classes, functions, types, constants, protocols, and methods that make up Cocoa's Foundation and Application Kit frameworks, based on the Jaguar release (Mac OS X 10.2). Peer-reviewed and approved by Apple's engineers to be part of the Apple Developer Connection (ADC) Series, Cocoa in a Nutshell is the book developers will want close at hand as they work. It's the desktop quick reference they can keep by their side to look something up quickly without leaving their work.Cocoa in a Nutshell is the book developers will want close at hand as they work.

This book reveals how to give a new face to iSeries and AS/400 applications by offering a suite of techniques to use with green-screen programs: Query Manager/400, advanced display DDS functions, user-defined ILE functions, and Advanced Function Printing. Tools are provided that give PC client applications and interfaces more function and usability with ADO, OLE DB, and FTP. Possibilities are explored for using iSeries or AS/400 to develop web pages, implement e-mail, and use ActiveX Data Objects to develop applications in Visual Basic.

Note: This title was formerly known as Pocket Guide to TCP/IP Socket Programming in C, ISBN 1-55860-686-6.TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers is a quick and affordable way to gain the knowledge and skills you need to develop sophisticated and powerful networked-based programs using sockets. Written by two experienced networking instructors, this book provides a series of examples that demonstrate basic sockets techniques for clients and servers. Using plenty of real-world examples, this book is a complete beginner's guide to socket programming and a springboard to more advanced networking topics, including multimedia protocols.•Concise, no-nonsense explanations of issues often troublesome for beginners, including message construction and parsing. •Comprehensive example-based coverage of the most important TCP/IP techniques-including iterative and concurrent servers, timeouts, and asynchronous message processing. •Includes a detailed, easy-to-use reference to the system calls and auxiliary routines that comprise the sockets interface. •A companion Web site provides source code for all example programs in both C and WinSock versions, as well as guidance on running the code on various platforms.
