Approximating the smallest grammar: Kolmogorov complexity in natural models
Authors: Moses Charikar, Eric Lehman, Ding Liu, Rina Panigrahy, Manoj Prabhakaran, April Rasala, Amit Sahai, abhi shelat
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

We consider the problem of finding the smallest context-free grammar that generates exactly one given string of length n. The size of this grammar is of theoretical interest as an efficiently computable variant of Kolmogorov complexity. The problem is of practical importance in areas such as data compression and pattern extraction.The smallest grammar is known to be hard to approximate to within a constant factor, and an o(logn/log logn) approximation would require progress on a long-standing algebraic problem [10]. Previously, the best proved approximation ratio was O(n1/2) for the Bisection algorithm [8]. Our main result is an exponential improvement of this ratio; we give an O(log (n/g*)) approximation algorithm, where g* is the size of the smallest grammar.We then consider other computable variants of Kolomogorov complexity. In particular we give an O(log2 n) approximation for the smallest non-deterministic finite automaton with advice that produces a given string. We also apply our techniques to "advice-grammars" and "edit-grammars", two other natural models of string complexity.

Interoperable strategies in automated trust negotiation
Authors: Ting Yu, Marianne Winslett, Kent E. Seamons
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Computer and Communications Security (2001)

Automated trust negotiation is an approach to establishing trust between strangers through the exchange of digital credentials and the use of access control policies that specify what combinations of credentials a stranger must disclose in order to gain access to each local service or credential. We introduce the concept of a trust negotiation protocol, which defines the ordering of messages and the type of information messages will contain. To carry out trust negotiation, a party pairs its negotiation protocol with a trust negotiation strategy that controls the exact content of the messages, i.e., which credentials to disclose, when to disclose them, and when to terminate a negotiation. There are a huge number of possible strategies for negotiating trust, each with different properties with respect to speed of negotiations and caution in giving out credentials and policies. In the autonomous world of the Internet, entities will want the freedom to choose negotiation strategies that meet their own goals, which means that two strangers who negotiate trust will often not use the same strategy. To date, only a tiny fraction of the space of possible negotiation strategies has been explored, and no two of the strategies proposed so far will interoperate. In this paper, we define a large set of strategies called the disclosure tree strategy (DTS) family. Then we prove that if two parties each choose strategies from the DTS family, then they will be able to negotiate trust as well as if they were both using the same strategy. Further, they can change strategies at any point during negotiation. We also show that the DTS family is closed, i.e., any strategy that can interoperate with every strategy in the DTS family must also be a member of the DTS family. We also give examples of practical strategies that belong to the DTS family and fit within the TrustBuilder architecture and protocol for trust negotiation.

Index filtering and view materialization in ROLAP environment
Authors: Shi Guang Qiu, Tok Wang Ling
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Using materialized view to accelerate OLAP queries is one of the most common methods used in ROLAP systems. However, high storage and computation cost make this method very difficult to be implemented in the actual environment. Among various issues associated with this, index selection and view materialization are two of the top challenges. In this paper, we propose to build indexes on subsets of the primary keys rather than the full sets if the index selectivity for these smaller indexes can be maintained above the required level. Based on that we propose an index filtering rule, Dominant Prime (DPrime) Index Set Filter, to filter out candidate indexes that have insufficient index selectivity or have cheaper alternatives. In the second part, we propose a view materialization method, Nested Relation Approach, to group tuples with the same value for index attributes into one super tuple using a nested relation and implement this method using Oracle VARRAY. In performance tests, our method outperforms others significantly.
A domain independent environment for creating information extraction modules
Authors: Ronen Feldman, Yonatan Aumann, Yair Liberzon, Kfir Ankori, Jonathan Schler, Benjamin Rosenfeld
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Text-Mining is a growing area of interest within the field of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. Given a collection of text documents, most approaches to Text Mining perform knowledge-discovery operations either on external tags associated with each document, or on the set of all words within each document. Both approaches suffer from limitations. This paper focuses on an intermediate approach, one that we call text mining via information extraction, in which knowledge discovery takes place on focused, relevant terms, phrases and facts, as extracted from the documents.

The Great Disruption: Human Nature and the Reconstitution of Social Order
Authors: Francis Fukuyama
Venue:  (1999)

:The Great Disruption begins by observing that over the past thirty years, the United States and other developed countries have undergone a profound transformation from industrial to information societies; knowledge has replaced mass production as the basis of wealth, power, and social interaction. At the same time, Western societies have endured increasing levels of crime, massive changes in fertility and family structure, decreasing levels of trust, and the triumph of individualism over community. Just as the Industrial Revolution brought about momentous changes in society's moral values, a similar Great Disruption in our own time has caused profound changes in our social structure. Drawing on the latest sociological data and new theoretical models from fields as diverse as economics and biology, Fukuyama reveals that even though the old order has broken apart, a new social order is already taking shape. Indeed, he suggests, the Great Disruption of the 1960s and 1970s may be giving way to a Great Reconstruction, as Western society weaves a new fabric of social and moral values appropriate to the changed realities of the postindustrial world.

Computer determination of the inbreeding coefficient, coefficient of relationship, and the ancestral composition in closed beagle colony
Authors: Jeanne A. Pagels, Carl E. Rehfeld, Sylvanus A. Tyler, Merlin H. Dipert
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th annual Southeastern regional meeting of the Association for Computing Machinery and national meeting of Biomedical Computing - Volume 1 (1967)

A computer program, in FORTRAN, is presented for the calculation of numerical values descriptive of ancestry and genetic background of individuals. With appropriate information, this algorithm calculates the following parameters: ancestral composition, inbreeding coefficient, and coefficient of relationship. Although devised specifically to compute these parameters for dogs in the beagle colony at Argonne National Laboratory, this algorithm can be used as a tool in many applications. The program is designed for the large computer; however, it can be adapted to the small computer with auxiliary storage. The generality of the program permits handling a pedigree of any complexity.

Authors: Xiaoliang Zhao, Dan Pei, Lan Wang, Dan Massey, Allison Mankin, S. Felix Wu, Lixia Zhang
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Internet Measurement (2001)

This paper presents a detailed study of BGP Multiple Origin AS (MOAS) conflicts observed in the Internet. A MOAS conflict occurs when a particular prefix appears to originate from more than one AS. We analyzed data from archived BGP routing tables over 1279 days. Most of the conflicts were short-lived, lasting only a small number of days. The potential causes for the MOAS conflicts and impact on BGP fault-tolerance are discussed in detail.
Model composability: formulating a research thrust: composable simulations
Authors: Stephen Kasputis, Henry C. Ng
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

While there has been much attention paid to the applications of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) by the Department of Defense (DoD) lately, little has been done to address those broad technology areas that enable application-oriented simulations to be more easily constructed, run and analyzed. Model Composabilty is the ability to compose models/modules across a variety of application domains, levels of resolution and time scales. A composability framework for simulations offers a quantum leap in capability and provides the sought after ease of use. However, Composability is still a frontier subject in Modeling and Simulation, and current capability is limited. While model reuse is close to the Holy Grail of M&S, the goal is not within sight. We are discovering that unless models are designed to work together, they don't (at least not easily and cost effectively). Without a robust, theoretically grounded framework for design, we are consigned to repeat this problem for the foreseeable future. This position paper outlines the challenges and basic researches that are needed for composable simulation developments.
Growing languages with metamorphic syntax macros
Authors: Claus Brabrand, Michael I. Schwartzbach
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Partial evaluation and semantics-based program manipulation (2002)

"From now on, a main goal in designing a language should be to plan for growth." Guy Steele: Growing a Language, OOPSLA '98 invited talk.We present our experiences with a syntax macro language which we claim forms a general abstraction mechanism for growing (domain-specific) extensions of programming languages. Our syntax macro language is designed to guarantee type safety and termination.A concept of metamorphisms allows the arguments of a macro to be inductively defined in a meta level grammar and morphed into the host language. We also show how the metamorphisms can be made to operate simultaneously on multiple parse trees at once. The result is a highly flexible mechanism for growing new language constructs without resorting to compile-time programming. In fact, whole new languages can be defined at surprisingly low cost.This work is fully implemented as part of the bigwig system for defining interactive Web services, but could find use in many other languages.
