A SYSTEM FOR IMAGE COMPRESSION USING WAVELETS AND GENETIC PROGRAMMING
In more recent studies, Genetic Programming has been shown to be useful when used in Image Compression. The major idea is to evolve a set of genetic programs which will output the image, and therefore storing references to this set of programs is needed for decompression. Eventually, it would be possible to find a large set of programs which can be parameterized and used to approximate all possible images. This paper builds upon previous work done in the spatial domain, and instead uses the Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform to simplify the image, and provide better quality levels at better compression ratios. Additionally, quantizing the image in the wavelet domain allows for easier evolution of genetic programs without sacrificing much in terms of image quality. This paper shows with compression ratios of up to 22:1 that genetic programming in the wavelet domain is indeed a feasible method of Image Compression.

Beginners C# Tutorial
This lesson will get you started with C# by introducing a few very simple programs. Here are the objectives of this lesson:
. Understand the basic structure of a C# program.
. Obtain a basic familiarization of what a “Namespace” is.
. Obtain a basic understanding of what a Class is.
. Learn what a Main method does.
. Learn how to obtain command-line input.
. Learn about console input/output (I/O).

The ASM Method for System Design and Analysis. A Tutorial Introduction
We introduce into and survey the ASM method for highlevel system design and analysis. We explain the three notions|Abstract State Machine [37], ASM ground model (system blueprint) [7] and ASM refinement [8]|that characterize the method, which integrates also current validation and verification techniques.We illustrate how the method allows the system engineer to rigorously capture requirements by ASM ground models

Design Patterns as Higher-Order Datatype-Generic Programs
Design patterns are reusable abstractions in object-oriented software. However, using current mainstream programming languages, these elements can only be expressed extra-linguistically: as prose, pictures, and prototypes. We believe that this is not inherent in the patterns themselves, but evidence of a lack of expressivity in the languages of today. We expect that, in the languages of the future, the code parts of design patterns will be expressible as reusable library components. Indeed, we claim that the languages of tomorrow will suffice; the future is not far away. All that is needed, in addition to commonly-available features, are higherorder and datatype-generic constructs; these features are already or nearly available now. We argue the case by presenting higherorder datatype-generic programs capturing ORIGAMI, a small suite of patterns for recursive data structures.
