Sometimes theinternet book have also a publisher like a company, institution, etc.).If it doesn’t have any publication year, then give the date when thebook was accessed by you. Always give the url address.Examples:An unpublished internet source:Fox, E.: Details of clustering algorithms (lecture notes).http://maya.cs.depaul.edu/ classes/ds575/clustering/CL-alg-details.html, 1995-1996.An internet textbook (a special case, no author is mentioned, only the company– Xycoon – which has produced the book.)Xycoon: Linear Regression Techniques (Online Econometrics Textbook),chapter II. Office for Research Development and Education, 2000-2006.Referring to software• Standard software tools and programming languages like L A TEX,Matlab, and Java do not need any references.• If you use special tools or programs with limited distribution it isrecommendable to give the reference.

20CHAPTER 2. SEARCHING, READING, AND REFERRING LITERATUREExamples:Bourne, S. The UNIX System. International Computer Science Series, Addison-Wesley, 1982. (a book)Gannon, D. et al. Programming environments for parallel algorithms. InParallel & Distributed Algorithms, ed. M. Cosnard et al. North-Holland,1989. 101-108. (an article in a collection)Grahne, G., Nykänen, M., Ukkonen, E. Reasoning about strings in databases.Journal of Computer and System Sciences 59, 1 (1999), 116-162. (an articlein a journal)• More examples in the exercises!• Notice that the journal and book titles are written with capital letters!2.5.4 References in latex• Latex creates the notations automatically!• You can select the style by setting the style parameter for the bibliographyenvironment• Just invent a unique label string for each source, which you use inreferences by command \cite. E.g. \cite{whamalai}, or if you wantto refer page 3, \cite[3]{whamalai}• In the References, define what the label refers• If you have alot of sources, you can manage them automatically bybibtex (we will return to bibtex later in this course)We will practise these in the computer class!2.6 CitationsDirect citations are seldom used in cs texts.If you use them, make clear who is responsible for what!
