XML, the web and database functionality?
Authors: Erich J. Neuhold
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

With the advance of XML, DTD's, XML-Schema, X-Path, X-Link, XML-Query, XML-Protocol, RDF, Semantic WEB and other information description tools and mechanisms the WEB develops more and more into a huge structured information and data network that becomes computer processable via "semi"-automatic "intelligent" means.However, most of these multimedia information resources are kept in hierarchical file-type systems or relatively unstructured relational systems with none or very little of what is commonly known as "database functionality" for the various information types represented. Do we still need transaction properties, interoperability, security, reliability, scalability and others?If yes, then why are these concepts not really taken into the WEB-world?Are the database people too far away to be able to adopt their existing solutions?Are the information system people too process-oriented to care about data?Are the knowledge handlers too occupied with semantic representations and ontology discussions?Does the document community even see the problem?And do the WEB people care whether human resources are wasted through attempts to achieve database functionality through careful "behaviour"?The panel will offer opinions about these aspects but will also want to raise these issues with the audience.

The XML typechecking problem
Authors: Dan Suciu
Venue: ACM SIGMOD Record (2002)

When an XML document conforms to a given type (e.g. a DTD or an XML Schema type) it is called a valid document. Checking if a given XML document is valid is called the validation problem, and is typically performed by a parser (hence, validating parser), more precisely it is performed right after parsing, by the same program module. In practice however XML documents are often generated dynamically, by some program: checking whether all XML documents generated by the program are valid w.r.t. a given type is called the typechecking problem. While a validation analyzes an XML document, a type checker analyzes a program, and the problem's difficulty is a function of the language in which that program is expressed. The XML typechecking problem has been investigated recently in [MSV00, HP00, HVP00, AMN+01a, AMN+01b] and the XQuery Working Group adopted some of these techniques for typechecking XQuery [FFM+01]). All these techniques, however, have limitations which need to be understood and further explored and investigated. In this paper we define the XML typechecking problem, and present current approaches to typechecking, discussing their limitations.

Tight security proofs for the bounded-storage model
Authors: Stefan Dziembowski, Ueli Maurer
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

(MATH) In the bounded-storage model for information-theoretically secure encryption and key-agreement one can prove the security of a cipher based on the sole assumption that the adversary's storage capacity is bounded, say by s bits, even if her computational power is unlimited. Assume that a random t-bit string R is either publicly available (e.g. the signal of a deep space radio source) or broadcast by one of the legitimate parties. If s$xi;t, the adversary can store only partial information about R. The legitimate sender Alice and receiver Bob, sharing a short secret key K initially, can therefore potentially generate a very long n-bit one-time pad X with n&raquo;|K| about which the adversary has essentially no information, thus at first glance apparently contradicting Shannon's bound on the key size of a perfect cipher.All previous results in the bounded-storage model were partial or far from optimal, for one of the following reasons: either the secret key K had in fact to be longer than the derived one-time pad, or t had to be extremely large (t&rho;ns), or the adversary was assumed to be able to store only actual bits of R rather than arbitrary s bits of information about R, or the adversary could obtain a non-negligible amount of information about X.In this paper we prove the first non-restricted security result in the bounded-storage model, exploiting the full potential of the model: K is short, X is very long (e.g. gigabytes), t needs to be only moderately larger than s, and the security proof is optimally strong. In fact, we prove that s/t can be arbitrarily close to 1 and hence the storage bound is essentially optimal.

Benefits of document maps for text access in knowledge management: a comparative study
Authors: Andreas Becks, Christian Seeling, Ralf Minkenberg
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Analyzing, structuring and organizing documented knowledge is an important aspect of knowledge management. In order to ease the access to text collections, in literature so-called document maps have been proposed which visualize the inherently vague semantic similarity structure of a corpus of documents. In this paper we investigate a document map system which is specifically designed for typical text access tasks in knowledge management. Based on an empirical task-model we present design, realization and results of a comparative laboratory study which evaluates the document map concept against an alternative text-access interface. We show that the graphical overview offers significant benefits over a text-based access interface for certain knowledge management tasks. We also discuss its drawbacks and point to further system improvements which promise to make the technology even more effective.

Uncertainty Management in Information Systems: From Needs to Solutions
Authors: Amihai Motro
Venue:  (1997)

:As the subtitle, From Needs to Solutions, indicates, this book presents viewpoints of information systems experts on the needs that challenge the uncertainty capabilities of present information systems, and it provides a forum to researchers in uncertainty modeling to describe models and systems that can address these needs. Hence, this book is not a collection of research papers, in which researchers describe their latest research projects; such collections, as excellent as they may be, do not necessarily cover an area methodically, and individual papers are often inaccessible to nonexperts. Rather, we began by outlining the structure of a book that will cover the entire spectrum of uncertainty modeling in information systems, and then requested leading experts to write authoritative tutorials and surveys that would fit the outline.
Complexity and expressive power of logic programming
Authors: Evgeny Dantsin, Thomas Eiter, Georg Gottlob, Andrei Voronkov
Venue: ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) (2001)

This article surveys various complexity and expressiveness results on different forms of logic programming. The main focus is on decidable forms of logic programming, in particular, propositional logic programming and datalog, but we also mention general logic programming with function symbols. Next to classical results on plain logic programming (pure Horn clause programs), more recent results on various important extensions of logic programming are surveyed. These include logic programming with different forms of negation, disjunctive logic programming, logic programming with equality, and constraint logic programming.

Matrix Multiplication on the OTIS-Mesh Optoelectronic Computer
Authors: Chih-fang Wang, Sartaj Sahni
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

We develop algorithms to multiply two vectors, a vector and a matrix, and two matrices on an OTIS-Mesh optoelectronic computer. Two mappings, group row and group submesh [25], of a matrix onto an OTIS-Mesh are considered and the relative merits of each compared. We show that our algorithms to multiply a column and row vector use an optimal number of data moves for both the group row and group submesh mappings, our algorithm to multiply a row vector and a column vector is optimal for the group row mapping, and our algorithm to multiply a matrix by a column vector is optimal for the group row mapping.
Subset construction complexity for homogeneous automata, position automata and ZPC-structures
Authors: J.-M. Champarnaud
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

The aim of this paper is to investigate how subset construction performs on specific families of automata. A new upper bound on the number of states of the subset-automaton is established in the case of homogeneous automata. The complexity of the two basic steps of subset construction, i.e. the computation of deterministic transitions and the set equality tests, is examined depending on whether the nondeterministic automaton is an unrestricted one, an homogeneous one, a position one or a ZPC-structure, which is an implicit construction for a position automaton.
