A Network Protocol Stack in Standard ML
Authors: Edoardo Biagioni, Robert Harper, Peter Lee
Venue: Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation (2001)

The FoxNet is an implementation of the standard TCP/IP networking protocol stack using the Standard ML (SML) language. SML is a type-safe programming language with garbage collection, a unique and advanced module system, and machine-independent semantics. The FoxNet is a user-space implementation of TCP/IP that is built in SML by composing modular protocol elements&semi; each element independently implements one of the standard protocols. One specific combination of these elements implements the standard TCP/IP stack. Other combinations are also possible and can be used to easily and conveniently build custom, non-standard networking stacks. This paper describes in detail the final design and implementation of the FoxNet, including many of the details that are crucially affected by the choice of SML as the programming language.

Improving the Clustering Performance of the Scanning n-Tuple Method by Using Self-Supervised Algorithms to Introduce Subclasses
Authors: George Tambouratzis
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

In this paper, the scanning n-tuple technique (as introduced by Lucas and Amiri) is studied in pattern recognition tasks, with emphasis placed on methods that improve its recognition performance. We remove potential edge effect problems and optimize the parameters of the scanning n-tuple method with respect to memory requirements, processing speed, and recognition accuracy for a case study task. Next, we report an investigation of self-supervised algorithms designed to improve the performance of the scanning n-tuple method by focusing on the characteristics of the pattern space. The most promising algorithm is studied in detail to determine its performance improvement and the consequential increase in the memory requirements. Experimental results using both small-scale and real-world tasks indicate that this algorithm results in an improvement of the scanning n-tuple classification performance.

Framework for security and privacy in automotive telematics
Authors: Sastry Duri, Marco Gruteser, Xuan Liu, Paul Moskowitz, Ronald Perez, Moninder Singh, Jung-Mu Tang
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international workshop on Mobile commerce (2002)

Automotive telematics may be defined as the information-intensive applications that are being enabled for vehicles by a combination of telecommunications and computing technology. Telematics by its nature requires the capture of sensor data, storage and exchange of data to obtain remote services. In order for automotive telematics to grow to its full potential, telematics data must be protected. Data protection must include privacy and security for end-users, service providers and application providers. In this paper, we propose a new framework for data protection that is built on the foundation of privacy and security technologies. The privacy technology enables users and service providers to define flexible data model and policy models. The security technology provides traditional capabilities such as encryption, authentication, non-repudiation. In addition, it provides secure environments for protected execution, which is essential to limiting data access to specific purposes.
Web-Based Systems and Network Management, 1st edition
Authors: Kornel Terplan
Venue:  (1999)

:Web-based Systems and Network Management is a practical guide to managing networked systems by using web technology. Based on a three-day seminar developed by the author, the book demonstrates the use of Web technology, and shows how the various components of the Internet and intranets must be economically and securely managed. Web-based standardization is taking three main directions: Port 280, JavaAPI, and WBEM (Web-based enterprise management). These are discussed in depth and the opportunities and limitations of each are addressed. The book not only handles the basics but also gives guidance on their use to simplify systems and network management.
Spectral Factorizations and Sums of Squares Representations via Semidefinite Programming
Authors: J. W. McLean, H. J. Woerdeman
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

In this paper we find a characterization for when a multivariable trigonometric polynomial can be written as a sum of squares. In addition, the truncated moment problem is addressed. A numerical algorithm for finding a sum of squares representation is presented as well. In the one-variable case, the algorithm finds a spectral factorization. The latter may also be used to find inner-outer factorizations.

Patent Searching Made Easy: How to Do Patent Searches on the Internet and in the Library, 2nd edition
Authors: David Hitchcock, Stephen Elias, Patricia Gima
Venue:  (1998)

:"Am I the First?" What inventor hasn't lost sleep pondering this question? Until recently, the only way to assess the novelty ofa new invention was to wade through the patent database at heh United States Patent and Trademark Office in Virginia -- or hire a patent searcherfor $500 and up. Expensive andinconvenient, these options probably dampened the spirits of countless would-be inventors. Now inventors can get instant feedback on their ideas over the internet. Fortunately, there's also an entertaining guidebook for the novice patent searcher: Patent Searching Made Easy. Written by inventor David Hitchcock, the book explains step by step how to use an Internet browser to search U.S. patents. It discusses how to classify an invention properly, and then, using that classification, find all relevant patents issued since 1971. Whether browsing infant flotation devices or computerized pet toys, the inventor can quickly tell by searching over the Internet whether he or she is in the running to be "the first."

Best-fit of implicit surfaces and plane curves
Authors: Sung-Joon Ahn, Wolfgang Rauh, Hans-Jürgen Warnecke
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

Dimensional model fitting to a set of given points is a relevant subject in various disciplines of science and engineering. In this paper, we present a universal, and very efficient, best-fit algorithm for implicit surfaces and plane curves, by which the square sum of the orthogonal error distances of the given points to the model feature will be rotation parameters, and are simultaneously estimated. The form parameters determines the shape of the model feature, and the position/rotation parameters describe the rigid body motion of the model feature. The mathematics frame of the proposed algorithm is applicable to any kind of surface and plane curve.
