Industrial dynamics without DYNAMO
Authors: Christian S. Bauer, Eduardo G. Mendez
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

This paper presents an alternative implementation technique for systems models of the type described in J.W. Forrester's book Industrial Dynamics. Methods for converting Industrial Dynamics models written in the specialized language DYNAMO into equivalent State-variable models are presented, and a simple Fortran IV computer program for analyzing the translated models is discussed. A significant advantage of this new technique is that it allows the use of any small computer with a Fortran capability as a research tool for systems dynamics studies, making the field of Industrial Dynamics available to a wider range of institutions than is presently the case.

Extracting collective probabilistic forecasts from web games
Authors: David M. Pennock, Steve Lawrence, Finn Årup Nielsen, C. Lee Giles
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Game sites on the World Wide Web draw people from around the world with specialized interests, skills, and knowledge. Data from the games often reflects the players' expertise and will to win. We extract probabilistic forecasts from data obtained from three online games: the Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX), the Foresight Exchange (FX), and the Formula One Pick Six (F1P6) competition. We find that all three yield accurate forecasts of uncertain future events. In particular, prices of so-called "movie stocks" on HSX are good indicators of actual box office returns. Prices of HSX securities in Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy awards correlate well with observed frequencies of winning. FX prices are reliable indicators of future developments in science and technology. Collective predictions from players in the F1 competition serve as good forecasts of true race outcomes. In some cases, forecasts induced from game data are more reliable than expert opinions. We argue that web games naturally attract well-informed and well-motivated players, and thus offer a valuable and oft-overlooked source of high-quality data with significant predictive value.

Collaborative attack modeling
Authors: Jan Steffan, Markus Schumacher
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Avoidance and discovery of security vulnerabilities in information systems requires awareness of typical risks and a good understanding of vulnerabilities and their exploitations. In this paper we compare common methods of sharing security related knowledge with regard to their ability to support avoidance and discovery of vulnerabilities. We suggest a new method of collaborative attack modeling that is especially suitable for this purpose. This method combines a graph-based attack modeling technique with ideas of a Web-based collaboration tool.
Multiclock selection and synthesis for CDFGs using optimal clock sets and genetic algorithms
Authors: Elie Torbey, John P. Knight
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

Selecting a clock period is an essential step in implementing hardware from behavioral descriptions. Current methods either estimate the clock prior to scheduling or involve exhausitve runs of the high-level synthesis tools to obtain a globally optimum clock period. Further, the potential benefits of allowing the use of multiple clocks for performance optimization has not been investigated. This paper presents a clock selection method that works simultaneously with synthesis by selecting a clock from an optimal clock set. The synthesis is iterative and is optimized by evolutionary techniques. The method is very flexible and can accommodate a larfe set of potentially optimal clocks. We also present multirate clock synthesis with path-dependent clock selection where different paths in a control data flow graph (CDFG) are optimized with different clock periods. The results shown prove the method's effectiveness.
Object-Oriented Programming in Oberon-2, 2nd edition
Authors: Robert Bach
Venue:  (1995)

:Object-oriented programming (OOP) tends to improve software quality by promoting structure, extensibility, and reusability of software. Its fundamentals are data abstraction, inheritance and dynamic binding. But it is not enough to understand these concepts; one must also learn how to make good use of them. This book covers the basic concepts of OOP, shows typical application patterns, gives useful design hints, and finally presents the design and implementation of an object-oriented window system with an integrated text and graphics editor. The language used throughout this book is Oberon-2, a clean and type-safe language designed at ETH Zurich. However, the emphasis of the book is not on the language but on the concepts of OOP. They can easily be transferred to any other object-oriented language. The book is aimed at students of computer science as well as at practitioners who want to gain a perspective on modern software development techniques.

Information Multiplicity: American Fiction in the Age of Media Saturation
Authors: John Johnston
Venue:  (1998)

:In Information Multiplicity, Johnston describes how fractalized realism has redefined thought itself - from the High Modernist "stream of consciousness" into what the machine philosopher Daniel Dennett refers to as "multiple drafts" or "circuits" operating concurrently in the human brain. In a series of close readings, Johnston traces how such a viral influx of information into human consciousness has been replicated in works by Thomas Pynchon (Gravity's Rainbow and Vineland), Joseph McElroy (Lookout Cartridge), William Gaddis (JR), Don DeLillo (Libra), and William Gibson (Neuromancer).

Sliding-window filtering: an efficient algorithm for incremental mining
Authors: Chang-Hung Lee, Cheng-Ru Lin, Ming-Syan Chen
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

We explore in this paper an effective sliding-window filtering (abbreviatedly as SWF) algorithm for incremental mining of association rules. In essence, by partitioning a transaction database into several partitions, algorithm SWF employs a filtering threshold in each partition to deal with the candidate itemset generation. Under SWF, the cumulative information of mining previous partitions is selectively carried over toward the generation of candidate itemsets for the subsequent partitions. Algorithm SWF not only significantly reduces I/O and CPU cost by the concepts of cumulative filtering and scan reduction techniques but also effectively controls memory utilization by the technique of sliding-window partition. Algorithm SWF is particularly powerful for efficient incremental mining for an ongoing time-variant transaction database. By utilizing proper scan reduction techniques, only one scan of the incremented dataset is needed by algorithm SWF. The I/O cost of SWF is, in orders of magnitude, smaller than those required by prior methods, thus resolving the performance bottleneck. Experimental studies are performed to evaluate performance of algorithm SWF. It is noted that the improvement achieved by algorithm SWF is even more prominent as the incremented portion of the dataset increases and also as the size of the database increases.
Finding scientific papers with homepagesearch and MOPS
Authors: Gerd Hoff, Martin Mundhenk
Venue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2001)

The fast dissemination of new research results on the world-wide web poses new challenges for search engines. In this paper we describe a new approach to seek scientific papers relevant to a pre-defined research area. Different from other approaches, we do not search for web pages which contain certain keywords, but we search for web pages which are created by scientists who are active in the research area under consideration. The names of these scientists are obtained from the DBLP server [9]. The HomePageSearch system finds the Home Pages according to the names, and Mops finds research papers close to the Home Pages. It creates an index of these papers and makes it accessible on the web. We conclude that such a focused crawling is very effective for building high-quality collections and indices of scientific papers, using ordinary desktop hardware.

Discovering the set of fundamental rule changes
Authors: Bing Liu, Wynne Hsu, Yiming Ma
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

The world around us changes constantly. Knowing what has changed is an important part of our lives. For businesses, recognizing changes is also crucial. It allows businesses to adapt themselves to the changing market needs. In this paper, we study changes of association rules from one time period to another. One approach is to compare the supports and/or confidences of each rule in the two time periods and report the differences. This technique, however, is too simplistic as it tends to report a huge number of rule changes, and many of them are, in fact, simply the snowball effect of a small subset of fundamental changes. Here, we present a technique to highlight the small subset of fundamental changes. A change is fundamental if it cannot be explained by some other changes. The proposed technique has been applied to a number of real-life datasets. Experiments results show that the number of rules whose changes are unexplainable is quite small (about 20% of the total number of changes discovered), and many of these unexplainable changes reflect some fundamental shifts in the application domain.

Creative Computer Software for Strategic Thinking and Decision Making: A Guide for Senior Management and MIS Professionals
Authors: Robert J. Thierauf
Venue:  (1993)

:Current thinking about how to improve strategic planning (now upgraded to strategic thinking) and decision making by managers at all levels is to employ some aspect of information systems technology. Although this approach has worked well for most organizations, chief executives are now asking their managers to do what they do best but to do it better. But how? Future thinking about improving strategic thinking and decision making involves integrating creativity with the latest in information systems. Hence, the power of the computer can be an important means to assist managers in doing what they do better when employing a creative computer software approach. Initially, the text looks at a number of areas that are impacted by creativity, with special emphasis on creative computer software. Management decision making is examined from a problem-finding or a forward-looking viewpoint that can benefit from utilizing creative computer software. Not only is this software useful for organizing ideas, but also for getting managers involved in networking ideas in different locations of a company. But more importantly, this software centers on the generation of new ideas. To demonstrate the generation of these ideas, the final part of the text gives a number of real-world applications of creative computer software. Particular emphasis is placed on IdeaFisher 4.0, an effective software package for generating new products and services.

Proxy-based security protocols in networked mobile devices
Authors: M. Burnside, D. Clarke, T. Mills, A. Maywah, S. Devadas, R. Rivest
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

We describe a resource discovery and communication system designed for security and privacy. All objects in the system, e.g., appliances, wearable gadgets, software agents, and users have associated trusted software proxies that either run on the appliance hardware or on a trusted computer. We describe how security and privacy are enforced using two separate protocols: a protocol for secure device-to-proxy communication, and a protocol for secure proxy-to-proxy communication. Using two separate protocols allows us to run a computationally-inexpensive protocol on impoverished devices, and a sophisticated protocol for resource authentication and communication on more powerful devices.We detail the device-to-proxy protocol for lightweight wireless devices and the proxy-to-proxy protocol which is based on SPKI/SDSI (Simple Public Key Infrastructure / Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure). A prototype system has been constructed, which allows for secure, yet efficient, access to networked, mobile devices. We present a quantitative evaluation of this system using various metrics.
