Heterogeneous networking: a new survivability paradigm
Authors: Yongguang Zhang, Harrick Vin, Lorenzo Alvisi, Wenke Lee, Son K. Dao
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 workshop on New security paradigms (2001)

We believe that a network, to be survivable, must be heterogeneous. Just like a species that draws on a small gene pool can succumb to a single environmental threat, so a homogeneous network is vulnerable to a malicious attack that exploits a single weakness common to all of its components. In contrast, in a network in which each critical functionality is provided by a diverse set of protocols and implementations, attacks that focus on a weakness of one such protocol or implementation will not be able to bring down the entire network, even though all elements are not be bulletproof and even if some of components are compromised.Following this survivability through heterogeneity philosophy, we propose a new survivability paradigm, called heterogeneous networking, for improving a network's defense capabilities. Rather than following the current trend of converging towards single solutions to provide the desired functionality at every element of the network architecture, this methodology calls for systematically increasing the network's heterogeneity without sacrificing its interoperability.
Engineering Documentation Control Handbook: Configuration Management for Industry
Authors: Frank B. Watts
Venue:  (2000)

:The control of engineering documentation in a manufacturing company is an important emerging discipline. It is sometimes called Configuration Management (CM). The latter term is one that has been used in conjunction with DoD/Military requirements. This book covers the subject on a generic basis that will be usable by industrial companies. Engineering Documentation Control is a significant company strategy. The methods for releasing a new product and its documentation, requesting changes to the product, making changes, and developing bills of material must be simple, fast, and accurate. Rules and guidelines are developed and explained for creating world class Engineering Documentation Control processes. Configuration Management is the communications bridge between Design Engineering and the "rest of the world;" the single most important function served by the CM organization. For the quick release of new product documentation, the ability to change the documentation and the product quickly is critical to a company's profitability. Thus, the development and implementation of a simple, make-sense, fast, accurate, and well understood CM system is an important business strategy. This book has primary emphasis on the simpler term (Engineering Documentation Control) while recognizing the near equality of the Configuration Management (CM) term.
Ensemble-index: a new approach to indexing large databases
Authors: Eamonn Keogh, Selina Chu, Michael Pazzani
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

The problem of similarity search (query-by-content) has attracted much research interest. It is a difficult problem because of the inherently high dimensionality of the data. The most promising solutions involve performing dimensionality reduction on the data, then indexing the reduced data with a multidimensional index structure. Many dimensionality reduction techniques have been proposed, including Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Piecewise Polynomial Approximation. In this work, we introduce a novel framework for using ensembles of two or more representations for more efficient indexing. The basic idea is that instead of committing to a single representation for an entire dataset, different representations are chosen for indexing different parts of the database. The representations are chosen based upon a local view of the database. For example, sections of the data that can achieve a high fidelity representation with wavelets are indexed as wavelets, but highly spectral sections of the data are indexed using the Fourier transform. At query time, it is necessary to search several small heterogeneous indices, rather than one large homogeneous index. As we will theoretically and empirically demonstrate this results in much faster query response times.

Dynamic component and code co-evolution
Authors: Markus Pizka
Venue: Proceedings of the International Workshop on Principles of Software Evolution (2002)

This papers presents a radically new approach for the dynamic evolution of long-lived systems that can not easily be shut-down for maintenance and restarted afterwards. Conventionally, the source code of a software system is viewed as a static entity and separated from the system at runtime. This seems intuitive as a single piece of code is usually associated with multiple components at runtime. Obviously, this viewpoint is a major obstacle for dynamic evolution during runtime as it raises difficult consistency issues concerning the relationship between static code and the dynamically executing system. The evolution approach presented in this paper takes a completely different direction by seamlessly integrating static code with dynamic execution. By this and sound concepts for component categories, incompleteness and dynamic completion, software can be generalized and adapted during runtime in a highly flexible way.

Challenges for knowledge discovery in biology
Authors: Russ Altman
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Bioinformatics is the study of information flow in biology. Interest in the field has exploded in the last 10 years with the emergence of techniques for large scale experimental data collection-including genome sequencing, gene expression analysis, protein interaction detection, high-throughput structure determination and others. These techniques, in the context of a large online published literature, have created relatively large data sets (at least by biological standards) that are not possible to analyze manually. There is therefore a critical need for methods to analyze these data and reduce them to new knowledge. The principle challenges to the field include the great diversity of data types and questions that are asked of the data, and the communication difficulties that can exist between experts in biology and experts in machine learning. In this talk, I will provide an introduction to the major biological questions that are being addressed, why they are important, and how the field is trying to address them with technical approaches.
