We consider a single-machine on-line scheduling problem where jobs arrive over time. A set of independent jobs has to be scheduled on a single machine. Each job becomes available at its release date, which is not know...

Our experiences and results of encouraging our students in a large CSI course to keep up with the pace of the course at a reasonable cost for us are presented. We have successfully managed to pinpoint students who are about to fall into the anonymity and passivity trap and give them the extra attention they need to avoid the trap when they need it. Since we managed to pinpoint the most needing students we can give them the extra personal recognition and encouragement they need at a very reasonable cost in the perspective of the whole course. For the two years we have tried our concept we can see a significant increase in the pass rate of the final exam.

The M&M problem is an excellent example of a nontrivial yet simple method for summarizing sampled data that are then used in making decisions. Simulating the creation of virtual M&M's that can be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet as the raw data for the M&M problem provides a way for students to get a unique sample of M&M's, thus modeling how, in an information systems environment, sampled raw data can often be captured electronically rather than being entered by hand as would be the case with a physical package of M&M's. Previously presented using client-side JavaScript, this paper presents a solution to the same problem using server-side Active Server Pages, thus avoiding compatibility problems of client-side scripting. The paper serves as a short introduction to both programming in Active Server Pages and to simulating discrete events.

A generic exchange-sorting module obviates the need for duplicating sort code in a program, thus promoting module reuse. This paper presents a method for using procedural parameters and callback functions to create a generic exchange-sorting module. Based on techniques with roots in functional programming using higher order functions, the method is fairly easy to understand. More importantly it is easy to use, even for beginning programmers. Using the rapid application development system Delphi and it's Object Pascal programming language, the method is presented in a way that highlights some useful features of Object Pascal that might not be well known to readers more familiar with the now-outdated standard Pascal or the currently popular C++.
We describe the experience of the industrial application of formal methods in the development of a mission critical system. We give a description of the system that was to be developed and the methods that were employ...

We present a Lyapunov theorem for systems that are not locally Lipschitz. The Lyapunov function used is only nonnegative semidefinite instead of positive definite.
