A semantical approach to method-call interception
Authors: Ralf Lämmel
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

We study a language construct superimpose for method-call interception (MCI). The construct enables a programmer to attach additional functionality to certain join points along the execution of specified method calls. This is done in a completely type-safe manner where the additional functionality shares its state with the registry location. We present the static and the dynamic semantics of MCI. We use a disciplined style of Natural semantics for an accessible specification of MCI. We organize the constructs in a design space so that we can add expressiveness to a simple object-oriented language core in a stepwise fashion. It is one simple extension to enable interactive MCI, that is, MCI code can interact with the objects involved in a method call. Another simple extension is to allow for collective MCI by using patterns for the calls to be intercepted.

Abstraction-based intrusion detection in distributed environments
Authors: Peng Ning, Sushil Jajodia, Xiaoyang Sean Wang
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC) (2001)

Abstraction is an important issue in intrusion detection, since it not only hides the difference between heterogeneous systems, but also allows generic intrusion-detection models. However, abstraction is an error-prone process and is not well supported in current intrusion-detection systems (IDSs). This article presents a hierarchical model to support attack specification and event abstraction in distributed intrusion detection. The model involves three concepts: system view, signature, and view definition. A system view provides an abstract interface of a particular type of information; defined on the instances of system views, a signature specifies certain distributed attacks or events to be monitored; a view definition is then used to derive information from the matches of a signature and presents it through a system view. With the three elements, the model provides a hierarchical framework for maintaining signatures, system views, as well as event abstraction. As a benefit, the model allows generic signatures that can accommodate unknown variants of known attacks. Moreover, abstraction represented by a system view can be updated without changing either its specification or the signatures specified on its basis. This article then presents a decentralized method for autonomous but cooperative component systems to detect distributed attacks specified by signatures. Specifically, a signature is decomposed into finer units, called detection tasks, each of which represents the activity to be monitored on a component system. The component systems (involved in a signature) then perform the detection tasks cooperatively according to the "dependency" relationships among these tasks. An experimental system called CARDS has been implemented to test the feasibility of the proposed approach.
Computational Phonology: A Constraint-Based Approach, 1st edition
Authors: Steven Bird
Venue:  (1995)

:Computational phonology is one of the newest areas of computational linguistics, and is experiencing rapid growth as its practitioners apply the wealth of theories, technologies and methodologies of computational linguistics to phonology. This book is the first to survey these developments, and it does so in a way that is accessible to computational linguists, phonologists and computer scientists alike. The interests of these diverse groups overlap in the subject area of constraints. The goal of this book is to explore the use of constraints in modern non-linear phonology and then - drawing on insights from constraint-based grammar and constraint logic programming - to formalise and implement a constraint-based phonology.

Small screen access to digital libraries
Authors: Gary Marsden, Robert Cherry, Alan Haefele
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

This paper looks at the possibilities of taking existing digital library technology and using it for educating those who do not normally have access to the Internet. We have built a system which allows WAP devices to access an HTML based digital libary. Whilst building such a system is technically possible, our work has shown that there are a wide range of usability issues which need to be tackled. We investigate these problems, suggest improvements and outline where future research needs to take place.
Incremental programming with extensible decisions
Authors: Doug Orleans
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Aspect-oriented software development (2002)

Languages that support incremental programming, that is, the construction of new program components by specifying how they differ from existing components, allow for clean separation of concerns. Object-oriented languages support incremental programming with inheritance and dynamic dispatch features: whenever a message is sent, a decision occurs, but the branches of the decision can be specified in separate components. Aspect-oriented programming and predicate dispatching both introduce language mechanisms that improve on this support by allowing an extensible decision to depend on information about the message send other than just the dynamic type of the receiver or arguments. A small prototype language is presented that unifies the best features of these mechanisms, providing uniform support for incremental programming whether concerns are crosscutting or not. The language is demonstrated with a running example, a small data structure library that is incrementally extended with optimizations and new operations.

Mining massively incomplete data sets by conceptual reconstruction
Authors: Charu C. Aggarwal, Srinivasan Parthasarathy
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Incomplete data sets have become almost ubiquitous in a wide variety of application domains. Common examples can be found in climate and image data sets, sensor data sets and medical data sets. The incompleteness in these data sets may arise from a number of factors: in some cases it may simply be a reflection of certain measurements not being available at the time; in others the information may be lost due to partial system failure; or it may simply be a result of users being unwilling to specify attributes due to privacy concerns. When a significant fraction of the entries are missing in all of the attributes, it becomes very difficult to perform any kind of reasonable extrapolation on the original data. For such cases, we introduce the novel idea of conceptual reconstruction, in which we create effective conceptual representations on which the data mining algorithms can be directly applied. The attraction behind the idea of conceptual reconstruction is to use the correlation structure of the data in order to express it in terms of concepts rather the original dimensions. As a result, the reconstruction procedure estimates only those conceptual aspects of the data which can be mined from the incomplete data set, rather than force errors created by extrapolation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach on a variety of real data sets.

An algebra for composing access control policies
Authors: Piero Bonatti, Sabrina De Capitani di Vimercati, Pierangela Samarati
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC) (2002)

Despite considerable advancements in the area of access control and authorization languages, current approaches to enforcing access control are all based on monolithic and complete specifications. This assumption is too restrictive when access control restrictions to be enforced come from the combination of different policy specifications, each possibly under the control of independent authorities, and where the specifics of some component policies may not even be known apriori. Turning individual specifications into a coherent policy to be fed into the access control system requires a nontrivial combination and translation process. This article addresses the problem of combining authorization specifications that may be independently stated, possibly in different languages and according to different policies. We propose an algebra of security policies together with its formal semantics and illustrate how to formulate complex policies in the algebra and reason about them. A translation of policy expressions into equivalent logic programs is illustrated, which provides the basis for the implementation of the algebra. The algebra's expressiveness is analyzed through a comparison with first-order logic.

Observed behavior and perceived value of authors in usenet newsgroups: bridging the gap
Authors: Andrew T. Fiore, Scott Lee Tiernan
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

In this paper we describe an evaluation of behavioral descriptors generated from an analysis of a large collection of Usenet newsgroup messages. The metrics describe aspects of newsgroup authors' behavior over time; such information can aid in filtering, sorting, and recommending content from public discussion spaces like newsgroups. To assess the value of a variety of these behavioral descriptors, we compared 22 participants' subjective evaluations of authors whose messages they read to behavioral metrics describing the same authors. We found that many metrics, particularly the longevity and frequency of participation, the number of newsgroups to which authors contribute messages, and the amount they contribute to each thread, correlate highly with readers' subjective evaluations of the authors
UNIX for the Mainframer: The Essential Reference for Commands, Conversions, TCP/IP
Authors: David B. Horvath
Venue:  (1997)

From the Book:PREFACE: Preface You have just picked up YAUB (Yet Another UNIX Book). And you may be asking yourself why you should read this one instead of any of the other ones. The answer is simple: If you are a mainframe professional (programmer, analyst, project leader, DBA, etc.) and find yourself having to use the operating system generically known as UNIX, this book is for you. The idea for this book came when I was working on a conversion project from the IBM mainframe to a UNIX machine. In addition to moving the code, we were supposed to help the staff learn the UNIX system. There were other departments in the same organization that were making similar transitions. Their mainframe professionals were very competent using the mainframe to get their job done, but were having trouble with the new operating system. Because I am comfortable in both the mainframe and UNIX environments, I was called to help these people out. After they took training courses from outside vendors, they returned to their desks and were immediately hit with questions like How do I do this? They wanted to do something under UNIX that they were very quick and familiar with on the mainframe but had difficulty figuring out what to do in the new environment. While helping them solve their problems, one person remarked that he wished there was a book written for what he was going through. I recommended several books that I had read and others that were on the market, such as UNIX for Dummies for example. The people with whom I was working, however, were no dummies and felt insulted at the idea of buying a book by that title. The introductory booksweretoo simple, assuming little or no computer knowledge. But the more advanced books assumed that the reader knew certain things about UNIX already. Besides these problems, the books simply did not answer the question these people were asking: I do X on the mainframe this way, how do I do it under UNIX? At about the same time, a new staff member joined the project, a person who was familiar with UNIX and another interactive operating system known as VMS, but did not know the mainframe. Fortunately, I gave a seminar a few years prior for VMS professionals on how to use the mainframe, so I made a copy of the handouts for the mainframe novice. The mainframe professionals remarked that they wished they could find a book that explained the UNIX operating system in terms with which they were familiarmuch as the seminar materials did. That was the beginning of the idea to write this book. What you hold in your hands is the final result. If you have questions about this book, you can contact me at UNIX_MF@COBS.COM.
