Modelling organisational practice in user requirements
Authors: Corin Gurr, Gillian Hardstone
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Modelling of organisational practice is an important yet notoriously difficult aspect of requirements engineering. This paper presents an approach which utilises "lightweight" ethnographic analyses in modelling the knowledge that exists in an organisation, together with how and where knowledge is communicated amongst organisational members. We view organisational practice in terms of the tasks that the organisation carries out, modelling and analysing what knowledge is required to perform these tasks.
SEAL: a framework for developing SEmantic PortALs
Authors: Nenad Stojanovic, Alexander Maedche, Steffen Staab, Rudi Studer, York Sure
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Knowledge capture (2001)

The core idea of the Semantic Web is to make information accessible to human and software agents on a semantic basis. Hence, Web sites may feed directly from the Semantic Web exploiting the underlying structures for human and machine access. We have developed a domain-independent approach for developing semantic portals, viz. SEAL (SEmantic portAL), that exploits semantics for providing and accessing information at a portal as well as constructing and maintaining the portal. In this paper we focus on semantics-based means that make semantic Web sites accessible from the outside, i.e. semantics-based browsing, semantic querying, querying with semantic similarity, and machine access to semantic information. In particular, we focus on methods for acquiring and structuring community information as well as methods for sharing information.As a case study we refer to the AIFB portal - a place that is increasingly driven by Semantic Web technologies. We also discuss lessons learned from the ontology development of the AIFB portal..
Statistical profiles of highly-rated web sites
Authors: Melody Y. Ivory, Marti A. Hearst
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

We are creating an interactive tool to help non-professional web site builders create high quality designs. We have previously reported that quantitative measures of web page structure can predict whether a site will be highly or poorly rated by experts, with accuracies ranging from 67--80%. In this paper we extend that work in several ways. First, we compute a much larger set of measures (157 versus 11), over a much larger collection of pages (5300 vs. 1900), achieving much higher overall accuracy (94% on average) when contrasting good, average, and poor pages. Second, we introduce new classes of measures that can make assessments at the site level and according to page type (home page, content page, etc.). Finally, we create statistical profiles of good sites, and apply them to an existing design, showing how that design can be changed to better match high-quality designs
The Age of Multimedia and Turbonews
Authors: William James Willis
Venue:  (1994)

:This text examines the startling and rapidly changing developments in media technology, especially as they affect journalism and the news media. We now stand at the threshold of a revolution in the news and entertainment media, and those media as we know them today may soon cease to exist. Whereas it had always been a simple matter to distinguish between newspapers, broadcast television, cable television, motion pictures, telephones, and computers, those distinctions are quickly blurring as a new universal media looms on the horizon. Here Jim Willis examines the new multimedia--and the concept of "turbonews"--and how journalism, the news media, and our lifestyles will be changed forever.

Collection statistics for fast duplicate document detection
Authors: Abdur Chowdhury, Ophir Frieder, David Grossman, Mary Catherine McCabe
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) (2002)

We present a new algorithm for duplicate document detection that uses collection statistics. We compare our approach with the state-of-the-art approach using multiple collections. These collections include a 30 MB 18,577 web document collection developed by Excite@Home and three NIST collections. The first NIST collection consists of 100 MB 18,232 LA-Times documents, which is roughly similar in the number of documents to the Excite at;Home collection. The other two collections are both 2 GB and are the 247,491-web document collection and the TREC disks 4 and 5---528,023 document collection. We show that our approach called I-Match, scales in terms of the number of documents and works well for documents of all sizes. We compared our solution to the state of the art and found that in addition to improved accuracy of detection, our approach executed in roughly one-fifth the time.

A context-related authorization and access control method based on RBAC:
Authors: Marc Wilikens, Simone Feriti, Alberto Sanna, Marcelo Masera
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

This paper describes an application of authorization and access control based on the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) method and integrated in a comprehensive trust infrastructure of a health care application. The method is applied to a health care business process that involves multiple actors accessing data and resources needed for performing clinical and logistics tasks in the application. The notion of trust constituency is introduced as a concept for describing the context of authorisation. In addition, the applied RBAC covers time constraints, hierarchies and multi-level authorization rules for coping with the multi-actor nature and the complexity of the application domain. The DRIVE RBAC model clearly distinguishes between static role assignment to users and dynamic allocation of roles at session time. The paper, while focusing on the authorization and access control approach, also describes how the RBAC functions have been integrated in a trust infrastructure including smart cards.

Mechanics of robotic manipulation
Authors: Matthew T. Mason
Venue: Intelligent Robots And Autonomous Agents Series (2001)

"Manipulation" refers to a variety of physical changes made to the world around us. Mechanics of Robotic Manipulation addresses one form of robotic manipulation, moving objects, and the various processes involved---grasping, carrying, pushing, dropping, throwing, and so on. Unlike most books on the subject, it focuses on manipulation rather than manipulators. This attention to processes rather than devices allows a more fundamental approach, leading to results that apply to a broad range of devices, not just robotic arms. The book draws both on classical mechanics and on classical planning, which introduces the element of imperfect information. The book does not propose a specific solution to the problem of manipulation, but rather outlines a path of inquiry.

Interconnect exploration for future wire dominated technologies
Authors: A. Papanikolaou, M. Miranda, F. Catthoor, H. Corporaal, H. De Man, D. De Roest, M. Stucchi, Karen Maex
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international workshop on System-level interconnect prediction (2002)

Storage "takes the centre stage" [4] in more and more information oriented systems because of the eternal push for more complex applications with especially larger and more complicated data types. In addition, the access speed, size and power consumption associated with this storage form a severe bottle-neck in these systems (especially in an embedded context). In this invited paper, we want to explore the interconnect related issues, both inside the storage components (intra-memory) and between the components (inter-memory). To achieve this we have performed several experiments with a storage organisation exploration tool set that has been applied to a real-life application from our target domain, namely a Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) receiver. Several interesting conclusions can be based on these experiments and these will be briefly summarised below.

Geographical region summary service for geographical routing
Authors: Pai-Hsiang Hsiao
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

In a network consists of wireless mobile nodes, routing with geographical information is more efficient and scalable than methods that only relay on node connectivities. Geographical routing requires a distributed location dissemination or location database system to provide forwarding location. In this paper, we propose a novel location dissemination system called "Geographical Region Summary Service"(GRSS). Mobile nodes in GRSS proactively disseminate aggregated forwarding locations as a summary of node IDs in a defined region. This summary propagates to other regions and updates stale summaries. Each node in the network knows the exact location of every other node, or the region it resides in. Packet forwarding decisions can be made independently at each node. We introduce the system and algorithm, also summarize some findings from our simulation results in this paper
Unsupervised learning and self-organization in networks of spiking neurons
Authors: Thomas Natschlüer, Berthold Ruf, Michael Schmitt
Venue: Self-Organizing neural networks: recent advances and applications (2001)

One of the most prominent features of biological neural systems is that individual neurons communicate via short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials or spikes. In this chapter we investigate possible mechanisms of unsupervised learning and self-organization in networks of spiking neurons. After giving a brief introduction to spiking neuron networks we describe a biologically plausible algorithm for these networks to find clusters in a high dimensional input space or a subspace of it. The algorithm is shown to work even in a dynamically changing environment. Futhermore, we study self-organizing maps of spiking neurons showing that networks of spiking neurons using temporal coding can achieve a topology preserving behavior quite similar to that of Kohonen's self-organizing map. For these networks a mechanism of competitive computation is proposed that is based on action potential timing. Thus, the winner in a population of competing neurons can be determined locally and in generally faster than in approaches which use rate coding. The models and algorithms presented in this chapter establish further steps toward more realistic descriptions of unsupervised learning in biological neural systems.
Effects of structure and label ambiguity on information navigation
Authors: Craig S. Miller, Roger W. Remington
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

We present experimental results showing that search for target items in a three-tiered categorization structure (approximately 8 links per page) is faster than a comparable two-tiered structure provided that the category labels are clear and unambiguous. For items in ambiguous categories, search is faster in the two-tiered structure.
