Web mining for web image retrieval
Authors: Zheng Chen, Liu Wenyin, Feng Zhang, Mingjing Li
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2001)

The popularity of digital images is rapidly increasing due to improving digital imaging technologies and convenient availability facilitated by the Internet. However, how to find user-intended images from the Internet is nontrivial. The main reason is that the Web images are usually not annotated using semantic descriptors. In this article, we present an effective approach to and a prototype system for image retrieval from the Internet using Web mining. The system can also serve as a Web image search engine. One of the key ideas in the approach is to extract the text information on the Web pages to semantically describe the images. The text description is then combined with other low-level image features in the image similarity assessment. Another main contribution of this work is that we apply data mining on the log of users' feedback to improve image retrieval performance in three aspects. First, the accuracy of the document space model of image representation obtained from the Web pages is improved by removing clutter and irrelevant text information. Second, to construct the user space model of users' representation of images, which is then combined with the document space model to eliminate mismatch between the page author's expression and the user's understanding and expectation. Third, to discover the relationship between low-level and high-level features, which is extremely useful for assigning the low-level features' weights in similarity assessment.

Normal form algorithms for extended context-free grammars
Authors: Jürgen Albert, Dora Giammarresi, Derick Wood
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

We investigate the complexity of a variety of normal-form transformations for extended context-free grammars, where by extended we mean that the set of right-hand sides for each nonterminal in such a grammar is a regular set. The study is motivated by the implementation project GraMa which will provide a C++ toolkit for the symbolic manipulation of context-free objects just as Grail does for regular objects. Our results generalize known complexity bounds for context-free grammars but do so in nontrivial ways. Specifically, we introduce a new representation scheme for extended context-free grammars (the symbol-threaded expression forest), a new normal form for these grammars (dot normal form) and new regular expression algorithms.

An intelligent biological information management system
Authors: Mathew Palakal, Snehasis Mukhopadhyay, Javed Mostafa
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

As biomedical researchers are amassing a plethora of information in a variety of forms resulting from the advancements in biomedical research, there is a critical need for innovative information management and knowledge discovery tools to sift through these vast volumes of heterogeneous data and analysis tools. In this paper we present a general model for an information management system that is adaptable and scalable, followed by a detailed design and implementation of one component of the model. The prototype, called BioSifter, was applied to problems in the bioinformatics area. The results indicate that BioSifter is a powerful tool for biological researchers to automatically retrieve relevant text documents from biological literature based on their interest profile. The paper also presents experimental studies with real users to illustrate the efficacy of the approach.

Parallel and out-of-core view-dependent isocontour visualization using random data distribution
Authors: Xiaoyu Zhang, Chandrajit Bajaj, Vijaya Ramachandran
Venue: Proceedings of the symposium on Data Visualisation 2002 (2002)

In this paper we describe a parallel and out-of-core view-dependent isocontour visualization algorithm that efficiently extracts and renders the visible portions of an isosurface from large datasets. The algorithm first creates an occlusion map using ray-casting and nearest neighbors. With the occlusion map constructed, the visible portion of the isosurface is extracted and rendered. All steps are in a single pass with minimal communication overhead. The overall workload is well balanced among parallel processors using random data distribution. Volumetric datasets are statically partitioned onto the local disks of each processor and loaded only when necessary. This out-of-core feature allows it to handle scalably large datasets. We additionally demonstrate significant speedup of the view-dependent isocontour visualization on a commodity off-the-shelf PC cluster.

Analysis of views of ACM and IEEE members concerning professionalism in the computing field
Authors: John D. Longhill
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual Southeast regional conference (1982)

As computers become more of an indispensable part of everyday life, there is a growing feeling that those who design, program, build, and manage these machines should be professionals, in the same sense that lawyers, doctors, accountants and architects are professional. One criterion (perhaps the most important) of a true profession is that it be represented by a strong professional society. One reason perhaps why the computer field has not developed to the status of a true profession is that it does not as yet have this prerequisite professional society. The ACM and IEEE are the two largest of the many associations in the computer field that purport to be professional societies. Information from the members of these two organizations concerning their views on professionalism in the computer field should be useful in determining why there is still not the strong professional computer society that is needed. This paper presents preliminary data drawn from an ongoing study of the opinions of ACM and IEEE members concerning aspects of professionalism in the computer field.
Constructing minimum energy mobile wireless networks
Authors: Xiang-Yang Li, Peng-Jun Wan
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

Given a set of wireless network nodes N, the directed weighted transmission graph Gt has an edge uv if and only if node v is in the transmission range of node u and the weight of uv is typically defined as |uv| &agr; + c for a real constant 2 &le; &gr;&le;4 and c & 0. The minimum power topology Gm is the smallest subgraph of Gt that contains the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes. We described a distributed position-based networking protocol to construct the enclosure graph Ge, which is an approximation of Gm. The total communication complexity is O(n). Let dG(u) be the degree of node u in a graph G. The time complexity of each node u is O (dGt)). The space required at each node is O(dGt (u. This improves the previous result that approximates GmO(dGt(u)3) time using O(dGt(u2) spaces. We also show that the average degree dGe (u) is usually a constant, which is at most 6. Our result is first developed for stationary network and then extended to mobile network.

An assessment of the remote procedure call mechanism
Authors: Andrew D. Birrell
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

For more than ten years, many people (including myself) have been advocating the use of "Remote Procedure Calls" (RPC) as the primary technique for communication among the components of a distributed system. Many researchers have explored the design space for RPC, and they have written many worthy papers on what they discovered. Many commercial vendors have constructed and purveyed RPC systems. Many standards committees have added their own distinctive values to the enterprise. Where has all this effort got us ?It is time to consider the successes and failures, benefits and costs, of our advocacy of RCP.
The breadcrumb forwarding service: a synthesis of PGM and EXPRESS to improve and simplify global IP multicast
Authors: Koichi Yano, Steven McCanne
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2000)

If ubiquitously deployed, IP Multicast promises to provide an efficient datagram service for an arbitrary sending host to reach an arbitrary and dynamic set of destination hosts anywhere in the Internet. Unfortunately, two very difficult problems ---interdomain multicast routing and viable end-to-end multicast transport--- have yet to be solved and deployed satisfactorily.This paper proposes that two existing but independent network mechanisms--- the EXPRESS service model and the network component of the Pragmatic Multicast protocol (PGM)--- be synthesized in a scheme we call the Breadcrumb Forwarding Service (BCFS) to simultaneously tackle the problems of interdomain multicast routing and end-to-end reliable multicast. Like EXPRESS, BCFS utilizes explicit-source group join and like PGM, enhances the network forwarding architecture with finer-grained group control. In this paper, we detail BCFS service model and router mechanisms to support the service. To demonstrate the flexibility and efficiency of BCFS, we describe the application examples built on this service model, which can accommodate not only PGM and also a novel reliable multicast transport protocol.

Trailist---focusing on document activity for assisting navigation
Authors: Sigi Reich, Erich Gams
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

Trails are a long established concept of assisting users in searching and navigating hypertexts. However, existing trail-based systems are focusing on browsers only and therefore do not fully exploit the notion of trails. We propose trail-based systems to be open to any application and to any activity. For instance, printing a document from a word processor, posting a message in a newsgroup, or forwarding an attachment to a friend &mdash; using one's favorite e-mail client &mdash; may well be part of a trail. &ldquo;Trailist&rdquo; is a framework supporting the development of these trail-based systems. Its name indicates that, similar to the way &ldquo;Tour-ists&rdquo; travel on tours, &ldquo;Trail-ists&rdquo; make their ways through vast information spaces.
