Mobile agent-based compound documents
Authors: Ichiro Satoh
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 ACM Symposium on Document engineering (2001)

This paper presents a mobile agent-based framework for building mobile compound document, which can each be dynamically composed of mobile agents and can migrate itself over a network as a whole, with all its embedded agents. The key of this framework is that it builds a hierarchical mobile agent system that enables multiple mobile agents to be combined into a single mobile agent. The framework also provides several value-added mechanisms for visually manipulating components embedded in a compound document and for sharing a window on the screen among the components. This paper describes this framework and some experiences in the implementation of a prototype system, currently using Java the both implementation language and component development language, and then illustrates several interesting applications to demonstrate the framework's utility and flexibility.

On the Composition of Matroids and Ideal Secret Sharing Schemes
Authors: Siaw-Lynn Ng, Michael Walker
Venue: Designs, Codes and Cryptography (2001)

In an ideal secret sharing scheme, the access structure is uniquely determined by its minimal sets \Delta_s. The purpose of this paper is to characterise \Delta_s. We introduce the concept of strong connectivity and show that under this equivalence relation, an ideal secret sharing scheme decomposes into threshold schemes. We also give a description of the minimal sets that span the strong connectivity classes. As a result we obtain a necessary condition on the types of subsets that are allowed in an ideal access structure as well as an upper bound on the number of such access structures.

Multi-protocol active messages on a cluster of SMP's
Authors: Steven S. Lumetta, Alan M. Mainwaring, David E. Culler
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

Clusters of multiprocessors, or Clumps, promise to be the supercomputers of the future, but obtaining high performance on these architectures requires an understanding of interactions between the multiple levels of interconnection. In this paper, we present the first multi-protocol implementation of a lightweight message layer---a version of Active Messages-II running on a cluster of Sun Enterprise 5000 servers connected with Myrinet. This research brings together several pieces of high-performance interconnection technology: bus backplanes for symmetric multiprocessors, low-latency networks for connections between machines, and simple, user-level primitives for communication. The paper describes the shared memory message-passing protocol and analyzes the multi-protocol implementation with both microbenchmarks and Split-C applications. Three aspects of the communication layer are critical to performance: the overhead of cache-coherence mechanisms, the method of managing concurrent access, and the cost of accessing state with the slower protocol. Through the use of an adaptive polling strategy, the multi-protocol implementation limits performance interactions between the protocols, delivering up to 160 MB/s of bandwidth with 3.6 microsecond end-to-end latency. Applications within an SMP benefit from this fast communication, running up to 75% faster than on a network of uniprocessor workstations. Applications running on the entire Clump are limited by the balance of NIC's to processors in our system, and are typically slower than on the NOW. These results illustrate several potential pitfalls for the Clumps architecture.

Proving sequential function chart programs using timed automata
Authors: Dominique L'Her, Philippe Le Parc, Lionel Marcé
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

Applications described by sequential function chart (SFC) often being critical, we have investigated the possibilities of program checking. In particular, physical time can be handled by SFC programs using temporizations, which is why we are interested in the quantitative temporal properties. We have proposed a modeling of SFC in timed automata, a formalism which takes time into account. In this modeling, we use the physical constraints of the environment. Verification of properties can be carried out using the model-checker Kronos. We apply this method to SFC programs of average size like that of the control part of the production cell Korso. The size of the programs remains however a limit and we are studying the means of solving this problem. Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

A mutual exclusion algorithm for ad hoc mobile networks
Authors: Jennifer E. Walter, Jennifer L. Welch, Nitin H. Vaidya
Venue: Wireless Networks (2001)

A fault-tolerant distributed mutual exclusion algorithm that adjusts to node mobility is presented, along with proof of correctness and simulation results. The algorithm requires nodes to communicate with only their current neighbors, making it well-suited to the ad hoc environment. Experimental results indicate that adaptation to mobility can improve performance over that of similar non-adaptive algorithms when nodes are mobile.
Software engineering process support based on fuzzy imploding Petri nets
Authors: Richard T. Bechtold
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

Software engineering process management and control is increasingly recognized as critical to the timely engineering of quality products. Automated process support within an integrated environment provides otherwise unachievable levels of insight, coordination, control, and flexibility in governing the activities and resources that comprise the engineering process. Crucial to process flexibility and robustness is the ability of a process to both withstand and react to the impact of unexpected or uncontrollable events. Using Petri nets as a basis for process modelling, this paper proposes an extension to fuzzy Petri nets which meaningfully models the impact of and response to the chaotic events that typically disrupt any complex process. Concepts introduced include: transition release thresholds, transition recall thresholds, transition backfiring. token recalls, token maturity, and token chains.

Mobile agent security based on payment
Authors: Michael Sonntag, Rudolf Hörmanseder
Venue: ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2000)

Mobile agents are autonomous entities that handle tasks for their owner. Agents act on their own by reacting to changes and by planning their course of action. These agents can move from one server to another. In the future, agents will also be supplied with real money in some form to pay for resources or services.In this paper we discuss a dynamic security architecture, in which permissions are assigned in exchange for information (money). The decision as to which permissions are available, as well as how much they cost, is based on the source of the code, the owner/user of the code and what other information the agent is willing (or able) to provide.We discuss the advantages and limitations of assessing permissions in monetary terms, rather than binary granting or denial of permissions according to pre-set classes. A test-framework has been implemented using Java.
A personal agent for Chinese financial news on the Web
Authors: Christopher C. Yang, Alan Chung
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

As the Web has become a major channel of information dissemination, many newspapers expand their services by providing electronic versions of news information on the Web. However, most investors find it difficult to search for the financial information of interest from the huge Web information space-information overloading problem. In this article, we present a personal agent that utilizes user profiles and user relevance feedback to search for the Chinese Web financial news articles on behalf of users. A Chinese indexing component is developed to index the continuously fetched Chinese financial news articles. User profiles capture the basic knowledge of user preferences based on the sources of news articles, the regions of the news reported, categories of industries related, the listed companies, and user-specified keywords. User feedback captures the semantics of the user rated news articles. The search engine ranks the top 20 news articles that users are most interested in and report to the user daily or on demand. Experiments are conducted to measure the performance of the agents based on the inputs from user profiles and user feedback. It shows that simply using the user profiles does not increase the precision of the retrieval. However, user relevance feedback helps to increase the performance of the retrieval as the user interact with the system until it reaches the optimal performance. Combining both user profiles and user relevance feedback produces the best performance.
Real world performance of association rule algorithms
Authors: Zijian Zheng, Ron Kohavi, Llew Mason
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

This study compares five well-known association rule algorithms using three real-world datasets and an artificial dataset. The experimental results confirm the performance improvements previously claimed by the authors on the artificial data, but some of these gains do not carry over to the real datasets, indicating overfitting of the algorithms to the IBM artificial dataset. More importantly, we found that the choice of algorithm only matters at support levels that generate more rules than would be useful in practice. For support levels that generate less than 1,000,000 rules, which is much more than humans can handle and is sufficient for prediction purposes where data is loaded into RAM, Apriori finishes processing in less than 10 minutes. On our datasets, we observed super-exponential growth in the number of rules. On one of our datasets, a 0.02% change in the support increased the number of rules from less than a million to over a billion, implying that outside a very narrow range of support values, the choice of algorithm is irrelevant.

Authors: Daniel A. Ford, Joann Ruvolo, Stefan Edlund, Jussi Myllymaki, James Kaufman, Jared Jackson, Martin Gerlach
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Tempus Fugit ("Time Flies") is the first of a new generation of Personal Information Management (PIM) systems. A PIM system incorporates an electronic calendar, "to-do" list and address book. The premise behind Tempus Fugit is that information stored in electronic calendars, to-do lists and address books can be given richer semantic interpretation and automatically processed to make its users more effective. Tempus Fugit also tracks the physical and virtual locations of users and uses this information to predict meeting attendance and help them as they travel during their day.
