Virtual States: The Internet and the Boundaries of the Nation State
Authors: Jerry Everard
Venue:  (2000)

:Virtual States explores the role of the state in a rapidly globalizing, wired society. It presents a theoretical and historical introduction to the internet, its place in both the developed and the developing world, and its impact on society.Although the internet brings out new disparities--between the information rich and the information poor--it also has the potential to break down the boundaries of national identity. Jerry Everard argues that while information technology poses fundamental challenges to the inclusionary/exclusionary processes of state-making, this will not mean the decline but rather the mutation of the state. Everard goes on to look at the different ways in which states react to the wired society, covering issues such as war, censorship and the reactions of those excluded from this society.

The peril of evaluating location management proposals through simulations
Authors: Thomas Kunz, Atif A. Siddiqi, John Scourias
Venue: Wireless Networks (2001)

The challenge of supporting rapidly growing numbers of mobile users, while constrained by limited radio spectrum, is being faced by cellular network operators worldwide. Several location management schemes have been proposed to improve the performance of such networks, but a fair assessment and comparison of their performance is difficult without an accurate mobility model. The performance of location management schemes depends considerably on subscriber mobility patterns. Some of the recent methods proposed in the literature are reviewed and selected that concentrate on the location updating and paging overhead. To analyze the performance of the selected proposals, two mobility models, namely activity-based mobility model and random mobility model, were used. From the results it is clear that the mobility model has a significant impact and the results described in various proposals using a random mobility model may not reflect the relative performance when deploying schemes in actual systems.

Using LSI for text classification in the presence of background text
Authors: Sarah Zelikovitz, Haym Hirsh
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

This paper presents work that uses Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) for text classification. However, in addition to relying on labeled training data, we improve classification accuracy by also using unlabeled data and other forms of available "background" text in the classification process. Rather than performing LSI's singular value decomposition (SVD) process solely on the training data, we instead use an expanded term-by-document matrix that includes both the labeled data as well as any available and relevant background text. We report the performance of this approach on data sets both with and without the inclusion of the background text, and compare our work to other efforts that can incorporate unlabeled data and other background text in the classification process.
Dynamic "intelligent handler" of frequently asked questions
Authors: Dick Ng'ambi
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

In this paper an ongoing research into dynamic intelligent handler of frequently asked questions (FAQs) is described. Although, the use of FAQs is widely used, there is no evidence that most FAQs contain frequently asked questions. This doubt arises due to the lack of a count of the number of times particular questions are asked; lack of indicators of the most recently asked question and a profile of users who asked these questions, and when these questions were last asked. These inadequacies render FAQs less useful for gauging user information needs and for devising appropriate interventions for different categories of users. Thus, a consulting environment in which an "intelligent handler" gets questions, dynamically creates FAQs with views based on user profiles, allows users to respond to questions and choose best response to questions is being developed.

An XML-based approach to automated software testing
Authors: Colin Bird, Andrew Sermon
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

The advantages of automating the functional testing of application software are well-known, but the manner of automation can lead to difficulties in authenticating the test coverage. In this paper we consider the class of automated tests in which a driver tool simulates the input and responses of a human operator and sequentially checks the output generated by the application software. The driver tool commonly employs its own language to describe the tasks it can be required to perform, for example:&bull; Issue a sequence of characters that simulate input from the keyboard.&bull; Verify that a segment of the display buffer contains the expected bit pattern.Although these tasks are simply stated, the language to effect them in a test script can become complex and hard to maintain. Furthermore, reading the driver tool program is not an effective way to confirm that the test script performs its tasks to the test specification.XML (eXtensible Markup Language)[1)] scripts offer a rigorous intermediate description that can be readily translated into both the driver tool test script and a readable statement of the task the test performs. The advantages accruing from the use of XML are:&bull; The XML scripts are easy to edit, simplifying basic script maintenance. New steps can be included for testing bug fixes.&bull; Content review becomes much easier, as the relevant aspects of the script can be rendered in a readily readable form, such as HTML;&bull; Global changes become feasible, as the structured nature of XML documents makes it possible to search for specific element content;&bull; The structure of the XML document can itself be checked, for example using a validating editor such as Xeena [2)].In the next section we describe an example of automated testing using a driver tool, based on XML scripts. The application being tested is called Wired for Learning [3)] and provides the IT infrastructure for schools to:&bull; Enhance communication between teachers, students and parents.&bull; Enable teachers to plan and share ideas for lessons and activities, linking in with national standards.&bull; Organize team projects involving teachers and students across classes and schools, with the option of inviting members of the community to provide additional information.&bull; Provide an events calendar to keep everyone up to date with what is happening in the school.&bull; Allow teachers easily to create their own home pages for information dissemination.
Application of Wiener-Hammerstein models for modeling of light flickering severity-meter
Authors: Michal Szyper, Andrzej Bien
Venue: Systems Analysis Modelling Simulation (2001)

Model studies of measuring systems may be an effective tool for determination of their static and dynamic characteristics, quality assessment and selection of optimum parameters and structure. However, such studies may be performed only when we will apply in likelihood models of system, i.e., which are able to map real properties of the systems. By Wiener-Hammerstein models were built a model of a meter of a flicker's severity. This model includes nonlinear static characteristic and linear dynamic properties. A structure of the flickermeter's model as well as its parameters were selected in accordance with the actual standards. The results of tests show that the model has properties which are recommended b standards. It allows to accept a theses that a models' structure by a structure of a measuring system leads to correct solutions.

Toward more sensitive mobile phones
Authors: Ken Hinckley, Eric Horvitz
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2001)

Although cell phones are extremely useful, they can be annoying and distracting to owners and others nearby. We describe sensing techniques intended to help make mobile phones more polite and less distracting. For example, our phone's ringing quiets as soon as the user responds to an incoming call, and the ring mutes if the user glances at the caller ID and decides not to answer. We also eliminate the need to press a TALK button to answer an incoming call by recognizing if the user picks up the phone and listens to it.
A UML-based aspect-oriented design notation for AspectJ
Authors: Dominik Stein, Stefan Hanenberg, Rainer Unland
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

AspectJ is a well-established programming language for the implementation of aspect-oriented programs. It supports the aspect-oriented programming paradigm by providing a special unit, called "aspect", which encapsulates crosscutting code. While with AspectJ a suitable aspect-oriented programming language is at hand, no feasible modeling language is available that supports the design of AspectJ programs. In this work, such a design notation for AspectJ programs is presented based on the UML. It provides representations for all language constructs in AspectJ and specifies an UML implementation of AspectJ's weaving mechanism. The design notation eases the perception of aspect-orientation and AspectJ programs. It carries over the advantages of aspect-orientation to the design level.
