Open hypermedia as a navigational interface to ontological information spaces
Authors: Mark J. Weal, Gareth V. Hughes, David E. Millard, Luc Moreau
Venue: Proceedings of the 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (2001)

Ontologies provide a powerful tool for distributed agent-based information systems. However, in their raw form they can be difficult for users to interact with directly. Different query architectures use structured query languages as an interface but these still require the users to have an expert understanding of the underlying ontologies. By using an Open Hypermedia model as an interface to an ontological information space, users can interact with such a system using familiar browsing and navigation techniques, which are translated into queries over the underlying information. Coupled with dynamic document generation, this allows complicated queries to be made without the user having to interact directly with the ontologies. Our key contribution is a notion of hypermedia links between concepts and queries within an ontological information space. This approach is demonstrated with a Dynamic CV application built around the SoFAR agent framework and the Fundamental Open Hypermedia Model (FOHM). In addition to abstracting the interface, Open Hypermedia allows alternative linkbases to be used to represent different &ldquo;query recipes&rdquo;, providing different views and navigational experiences to the user.

Placing search in context: the concept revisited
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) (2002)

Keyword-based search engines are in widespread use today as a popular means for Web-based information retrieval. Although such systems seem deceptively simple, a considerable amount of skill is required in order to satisfy non-trivial information needs. This paper presents a new conceptual paradigm for performing search in context, that largely automates the search process, providing even non-professional users with highly relevant results. This paradigm is implemented in practice in the IntelliZap system, where search is initiated from a text query marked by the user in a document she views, and is guided by the text surrounding the marked query in that document ("the context"). The context-driven information retrieval process involves semantic keyword extraction and clustering to automatically generate new, augmented queries. The latter are submitted to a host of general and domain-specific search engines. Search results are then semantically reranked, using context. Experimental results testify that using context to guide search, effectively offers even inexperienced users an advanced search tool on the Web.
Partial Stability and Control, 1st edition
Authors: V.I. I. Vorotnikov
Venue:  (1997)

:Partial Stability and Control develops a new, efficient method of analysis and of control synthesis for problems on partial stability and control in dynamic systems described by ordinary differential equations, including delay, stochastic, and uncertain systems. The method is based on efficient procedures of transformation on initial systems or their subsystems, for controlled systems, and allows the solutions to be simplified. In addition, the method also allows many linear and nonlinear problems to be solved that cannot be easily done with available methods. Ample attention is given to nonlinear game-theoretical problems of reorientation of an asymmetric solid. This book will be a valuable reference for advanced graduates and professionals in applied mathematics, mechanics and control, and control engineering who use stability theory and control methods.

Statistical skew modeling for general clock distribution networks in presence of process variations
Authors: Xiaohong Jiang, Susumu Horiguchi
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

Clock skew modeling is important in the performance evaluation and prediction of clock distribution networks. This paper addresses the problem of statistical skew modeling for general clock distribution networks in the presence of process variations. The only available statistical skew model is not suitable for modeling the clock skews of general clock distribution networks in which clock paths are not identical. The old model is also too conservative for estimating the clock skew of a well-balanced clock network that has identical but strongly correlated clock paths (for instance, a well-balanced H-tree). In order to provide a more accurate and more general staistical skew model for general clock distributions, we propose a new approach to estimating the mean values and variances of both clock skews and the maximal clock delay of general clock distribution networks. Based on the new approach, a closed-form model is also obtained for well-balanced H-tree clock distribution networks. The paths delay correlation caused by the overlapped parts of path lengths is considered in the new approach, so the mean values and the variances of both clock skews and the maximal clock delay are accurately estimated for general clock distribution networks. This enables an accurate estimate of yields of both clocks skew and maximal clock delay to be made for a general clock distribution network.

Exploratory image databases: content-based retrieval
Venue:  (2001)

Exploratory Image Databases takes a comprehensive look at the developing field of image databases. It attempts to delineate the boundaries of the field and to determine the common features and key differences between multimedia databases and the neighboring areas of databases, image analysis, and information retrieval. The two key concepts that frame image databases are the process of signification in images, and the structural properties of image features as data types. The author proposes that signification in images is a different process than in language, and that it can be divided into three different modalities. Each one of these modalities gives rise to a different query paradigm and, consequently, to different models of databases. For two of these three modalities, exploration (defined as a mix of navigation and query), rather than simple querying, is the correct interaction model between the user and the database.
XQL and proximal nodes
Authors: Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Gonzalo Navarro
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

Despite the fact that several models to structure text documents and to query on this structure have been proposed in the past, a standard has emerged only relatively recently with the introduction of XML and its proposed query language XQL, on which we focus in this article. Although there exist some implementations of XQL, efficiency of the query engine is still a problem. We show in this article that an already existing model, Proximal Nodes, which was defined with the goal of efficiency in mind, can be used as an efficient query engine behind an XQL front-end.
Some properties of relational expressions
Authors: Martin K. Solomon
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual Southeast regional conference (1979)

We obtain certain results concerning the power of expressions in relational (calculus and algebra) database sublanguages. Our main results state the undecidability of the equivalence and finite equivalence problems for relational expressions. We also observe that the type of join used in a relational algebra affects the complexity of problems for that algebra. For example, using equi-joins instead of natural joins leads to unnecessarily complex expressions. We relate these results to the problems of query optimization and concurrency control.
"I care about him as a pal": conceptions of robotic pets in online AIBO discussion forums
Authors: Peter H. Kahn,  Jr., Batya Friedman, Jennifer Hagman
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

In this study, we analyzed people's conceptions of AIBO, a robotic pet, through thier spontaneous postings in online AIBO discussion forums. Results showed that AIBO psychologically engaged this group of participants, particularly by drawing forth conceptions of essences (79%), agency (60%), and social standing (59%). However, participants seldom attributed moral standing to AIBO (e.g., that AIBO deserves respect, has rights, or can be held morally accountable for action). Our discussion focuses on the societal implications of these results.
Lessons from industrial design for software engineering through constraints identification, solution space optimisation and reuse
Authors: Denis Besnard, Anthony T. Lawrie
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

Design is a complex activity that can be analysed from a wide variety of perspectives. This paper attempts to look at the individual problem solving process, taking into account psychological arguments. We characterise some of the phases involved in the design process, namely the constraints identification, the optimisation of solution space and the reuse process. We highlight a three-dimensional framework of how the constraints identification impacts on the solution space which, in turn, determines the range of the components that will be eligible for reuse. We discuss this argument through examples from both inside and outside the software engineering field.
A toolkit for weaving aspect oriented UML designs
Authors: Wai-Ming Ho, Jean-Marc Jézéquel, François Pennaneac'h, Noël Plouzeau
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

Separation of concerns is a basic engineering principle that is also at the core of object-oriented analysis and design methods in the context of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The UML gives the designer a rich, but somehow disorganized, set of views on her model as well as many features, such as design pattern occurrences, stereotypes or tag values, allowing her to add non-functional information to a model. Aspect-oriented concepts are applied to manage the multitude of design constraints. However, it can then be an overwhelming task to reconcile the various aspects of a model into a working implementation. In this paper, we present our UMLAUT framework as a toolkit for easily building application specific "weavers" for generating detailed design models from high level, aspect oriented UML models. This is illustrated with a toy example of a distributed multimedia application with a weaving generating an implementation model. More ambitious applications are briefly outlined in the conclusion.
A writer's collaborative assistant
Authors: Tamara Babaian, Barbara J. Grosz, Stuart M. Shieber
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

In traditional human-computer interfaces, a human master directs a computer system as a servant, telling it not only what to do, but also how to do it. Collaborative interfaces attempt to realign the roles, making the participants collaborators in solving the person's problem. This paper describes Writer's Aid, a system that deploys AI planning techniques to enable it to serve as an author's collaborative assistant. Writer's Aid differs from previous collaborative interfaces in both the kinds of actions the system partner takes and the underlying technology it uses to do so. While an author writes a document, Writer's Aid helps in identifying and inserting citation keys and by autonomously finding and caching potentially relevant papers and their associated bibliographic information from various on-line sources. This autonomy, enabled by the use of a planning system at the core of Writer's Aid, distinguishes this system from other collaborative interfaces. The collaborative design and its division of labor result in more efficient operation: faster and easier writing on the user's part and more effective information gathering on the part of the system. Subjects in our laboratory user study found the system effective and the interface intuitive and easy to use.

SPIN: an extensible microkernel for application-specific operating system services
Authors: Brian N. Bershad, Craig Chambers, Susan Eggers, Chris Maeda, Dylan McNamee, Przemyslaw Pardyak, Stefan Savage, Emin Gün Sirer
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Matching operating systems to application needs (1994)

Application domains such as multimedia, databases, and parallel computing, require operating system services with high performance and high functionality. Existing operating systems provide fixed interfaces and implementations to system services and resources. This makes them inappropriate for applications whose resource demands and usage patterns are poorly matched by the services provided. The SPIN operating system enables system services to be defined in an application-specific fashion through an extensible microkernel. It offers applications fine-grained control over a machine's logical and physical resources through run-time adaptation of the system to application requirements.

Authors: Bruce M. Owen
Venue:  (2000)

:After a half-century of glacial creep, television technology has begun to change at the same dizzying pace as computer software. What this will mean - for television, for computers, and for the popular culture where these video media reign supreme - is the subject of this timely book. Noted communications economist Bruce M. Owen supplies the essential background: a grasp of the economic history of the television industry and of the effects of technology and government regulation on its organization. He also explores recent developments associated with the growth of the Internet. With this history as a basis, his book allows readers to peer into the future - at the likely effects of television and the Internet on each other, for instance, and at the possibility of a convergence of the TV set, computer, and telephone.

Research anxiety and students' perceptions of research: an experiment. Part II: Content analysis of their writings on two experiences
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

This is Part II of an experimental study investigating students' perceptions of research and research paper anxiety. The study integrates quantitative and qualitative designs to collect complimentary data. The participants were students in four sections of an upper division undergraduate course on technical and professional writing during the fall of 1999. A survey instrument used the Critical Incident Technique to solicit writings in students' own words about a memorable past research and writing experience at the beginning of the semester and the current research and writing at the end of the semester. The quantitative part of the survey measured students' perceptions about research using a questionnaire with five-point Likert scale, and students' anxiety levels using a standard state anxiety test (STAI Y-1). The first article, Part I, provides a detailed description of the experimental design and reports on quantitative results. This article reports on content analysis of students' writings about their experiences of the two research projects. Analysis of the data confirmed Kuhlthau's Information Search Process (ISP) model and revealed additional affective and cognitive aspects related to research and writing.
