Mereotopological reasoning about parts and (w)holes in bio-ontologies
Authors: Stefan Schulz, Udo Hahn
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001 (2001)

We here deal with mereotopological properties of parts and associated wholes, locations and empty spaces (holes), with particular reference to biological structures. Our considerations lead to a basic ontology which contains 'solid object', 'hole' and 'boundary' as mutually disjoint primitives. Formally, we embed the relations 'part-of' and 'location-of' into a parsimonious description logic (ALC) and emulate partonomic and spatial reasoning involving these relations by terminological subsumption. In contrast to common conceptualizations, we do not distinguish between solids and the regions they occupy, as well as we allow solids to have holes as proper parts. In order to support these modeling decisions, we discuss various concrete examples from human anatomy.
Applying culture to website design: a comparison of Malaysian and US websites
Authors: Emilie W. Gould, Norhayati Zakaria, Shafiz Affendi Mohd. Yusof
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Cultural localization should become a necessary adjunct to technology transfer and global business communication. A recent Siemens study (1999) of mobile phone use in Germany and China highlighted the value of cultural models and culturally localized support information. We will similarly compare cultural orientations and design preferences for websites in Malaysia and the United States.We will review the crosscultural theories of Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars, identify design elements associated with three cultural dimensions from those theories, and suggest guidelines for cultural localization in both countries. Although we focus on Malaysia and the United States, our comparison and analysis procedure can be adapted for other countries.

Optimization and evaluation of Hartree-Fock application's I/O with PASSION
Authors: Meenakshi A. Kandaswamy, Mahmut T. Kandemir, Alok N. Choudhary, David E. Bernholdt
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

Parallel machines are an important part of the scientific application developer's tool box and the processing demands placed on these machines are rapidly increasing. Many scientific applications tend to perform high volume data storage, data retrieval and data processing, which demands high performance from the I/O subsystem. In this paper, we conduct an experimental study of the I/O performed by the Hartree-Fock (HF) method, as implemented using a fully distributed data approach in the NWChem parallel computational chemistry package. We use PASSION, a parallel and scalable I/O library to improve the I/O performance of the application and present extensive experimental results. The effects of both application-related factors and system-related factors on the application's I/O performance are studied in detail. We rank the optimizations based on the significance and impact on the performance of HF's I/O phase as: I. efficient interface to the file system, II. prefetching, and III. buffering. The results show that within the limits of our experimental framework, application-related factors are more effective on the overall I/O behavior of this application. We obtained up to 95% improvement in I/O time and 43% improvement in the overall application performance with the optimizations.

Authentication: from passwords to public keys
Venue:  (2001)

Computer access control is an ongoing challenge. Left to themselves, computers tend to treat one user no differently than another. Computers use authentication to confidently associate an identity with a person. Authentication: From Passwords to Public Keys gives readers a clear understanding of what an organization needs to reliably identify its users and how different techniques for verifying identity are executed. Authentication is one of the basic building blocks of security. To allow a computer system to distinguish between legitimate users and others, most sites give passwords to authorized users. Unfortunately, just as car thieves have found ways to defeat sophisticated locks and alarms, computer hackers are always finding new ways to circumvent password systems. The good news is that organizations now have available to them a broad range of alternatives to passwords, and a variety of ways to make passwords safer. A well-designed authentication system allows users to prove their identities conveniently and gain access to the network without threatening the safety of the organization. The first of its kind, Authentication describes the entire range of authentication methods used today. It examines situations in which certain techniques fail and points out ways to strengthen them. Network professionals, designers, developers, administrators, planners, and managers will find in these pages the authentication strategy to protect their valuable systems. Through diagrams and examples, the author thoroughly explains the technical concepts behind authentication, focusing on existing, off-the-shelf solutions to security problems. Authentication highlights real products and solutions. If you are a network professional searching for the how and why of computer authentication, this is the book that will help you prevent unauthorized access on your network.

Designing online banner advertisements: should we animate?
Authors: Michelle E. Bayles
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

A common medium for advertising on the Internet is the use of banner ads. This study investigates recall and recognition of animated banner advertisements in an attempt to identify design guidelines. It was hypothesized that animation would increase recall and recognition of novel ads by increasing user awareness. No significant relationships were found between the use of animation and ability to recall and recognize banner ads. Results indicate that animation does not enhance user memory of online banner advertisements.
Multiple selections in smart text editing
Authors: Robert C. Miller, Brad A. Myers
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Multiple selections, though heavily used in file managers and drawing editors, are virtually nonexistent in text editing. This paper describes how multiple selections can automate repetitive text editing. Selection guessing infers a multiple selection from positive and negative examples provided by the user. The multiple selection can then be used for inserting, deleting, copying, pasting, or other editing commands. Simultaneous editing uses two levels of inference, first inferring a group of records to be edited, then inferring multiple selections with exactly one selection in each record. Both techniques have been evaluated by user studies and shown to be fast and usable for novices. Simultaneous editing required only 1.26 examples per selection in the user study, approaching the ideal of 1-example PBD. Multiple selections bring many benefits, including better user feedback, fast, accurate inference, novel forms of intelligent assistance, and the ability to override system inferences with manual corrections.
Bisimulations in the join-calculus
Authors: Cédric Fournet, Cosimo Laneve
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

We develop a theory of bisimulations in the join-calculus. We introduce a refined operational model that makes interactions with the environment explicit, and discuss the impact of the lexical scope discipline of the join-calculus on its extensional semantics. We propose several formulations of bisimulation and establish that all formulations yield the same equivalence. We prove that this equivalence is finer than barbed congruence, but that both relations coincide in the presence of name matching. Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
Multiple Servers and Capacity Sharing for Implementing Flexible Scheduling
Authors: Guillem Bernat, Alan Burns
Venue: Real-Time Systems (2002)

The aperiodic server scheduling mechanism (like the Deferrable Server or Sporadic Server) is an adequate technique to provide service for soft and firm tasks in flexible environments. For handling multiple sources of events either a single server or multiple servers can be used. A single server minimizes the number of capacity exhaustions but provides a poor performance when the sources have different temporal requirements. This problem can be solved using multiple servers at different priorities, however this approach suffers from much more capacity exhaustions as the capacity has to be statically partitioned among them. We overcome these two problems by introducing the capacity sharing protocol in which a server can use the unused capacity of other servers. In this paper, we describe the protocol, evaluate its performance in comparison with single and multiple servers without capacity sharing and we analyze its implementation complexity. The results of the simulation analysis show that the capacity sharing protocol exhibits a better performance than single server and multiple servers without capacity sharing.
