Multistrategy Learning
Authors: Ryszard S. Michalski
Venue:  (1993)

:Most machine learning research has been concerned with the development of systems that implement one type of inference within a single representational paradigm. Such systems, which can be called monostrategy learning systems, include those for empirical induction of decision trees or rules, explanation-based generalization, neural net learning from examples, genetic algorithm-based learning, and others. Monostrategy learning systems can be very effective and useful if the learning problems they are applied to are sufficiently narrowly defined. Many real-world applications, however, pose learning problems that go beyond the capability of monostrategy learning methods. In view of this, recent years have witnessed a growing interest in developing multistrategy systems that integrate two or more inference types and/or paradigms within one learning system. Such multistrategy systems take advantage of the complementarity of different inference types or representational mechanisms. Therefore, they have a potential to be more versatile and more powerful than monostrategy systems. On the other hand, due to their greater complexity, their development is significantly more difficult and represents a new great challenge to the machine learning community. Multistrategy Learning contains contributions characteristic of the current research in this area. It is an edited volume of original research comprising invited contributions by leading researchers. This research work has also been published as a special issue of Machine Learning (Volume 11, Nos. 2/3).
Child-proof authentication for MIPv6 (CAM)
Authors: Greg O'Shea, Michael Roe
Venue: ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (2001)

We present a unilateral authentication protocol for protecting IPv6 networks against abuse of mobile IPv6 primitives. A mobile node uses a partial hash of its public key for its IPv6 address. Our protocol integrates distribution of public keys and protects against falsification of network addresses. Our protocol is easy to implement, economic to deploy and lightweight in use. It is intended to enable experimentation with (mobile) IPv6 before the transition to a comprehensive IPSEC infrastructure.

VV&A; I: verification, validation, and accreditation in the life cycle of models and simulations
Authors: Jennifer Chew, Cindy Sullivan
Venue: Proceedings of the 32nd conference on Winter simulation (2000)

Verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) activities should be an on-going process throughout the life cycle of models and simulations (M&S). It is important to note that there is no single set of VV&A tasks, events, or methods that would apply every time to every situation. The VV&A emphasis and methods used vary depending on the particular life cycle phase it is in, previous VV&A and use, the risks and uncertainty, its size and complexity, and of course, the resources available. For simplification, this paper discusses the activities and tasks during the early stages of model development and addresses each of the VV&A efforts separately, along with its associated activities. It outlines the specific VV&A activities and products that are appropriate to each phase of model development.

Learn to Program Using Python: A Tutorial for Hobbyists, Self-Starters, and Those Who Want to Learn the Art of Programming with Cdrom
Authors: Alan Gauld
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:PREFACE: Why Write This Book? I started this tutorial in response to a request from two friends, both of whom were proficient computer users but wanted to go a step further and learn to program. As both had Internet access, I decided to save myself some trouble and find an online tutorial that they could use. Much to my amazement, this quest came up emptyit proved very difficult to find a tutorial that addressed the needs of an absolute beginner. Many tutorials taught specific programming languages, but they all assumed prior programming knowledge. This exercise provided sufficient motivation for me to create my own online tutorial for beginners. (You can see the online version at ...

A role-based delegation framework for healthcare information systems
Authors: Longhua Zhang, Gail-Joon Ahn, Bei-Tseng Chu
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies (2002)

As organizations implement information strategies that call for sharing access to resources in the networked environment, mechanisms must be provided to protect the resources from adversaries. The proposed delegation framework addresses the issue of how to advocate selective information sharing in role-based systems while minimizing the risks of unauthorized access. We introduce a systematic approach to specify delegation and revocation policies using a set of rules. We demonstrate the feasibility of our framework through policy specification, enforcement, and a proof-of-concept implementation on specific domains, e.g. the healthcare environment. We believe that our work can be applied to organizations that rely heavily on collaborative tasks.

Solving regression problems with rule-based ensemble classifiers
Authors: Nitin Indurkhya, Sholom M. Weiss
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

We describe a lightweight learning method that induces an ensemble of decision-rule solutions for regression problems. Instead of direct prediction of a continuous output variable, the method discretizes the variable by k-means clustering and solves the resultant classification problem. Predictions on new examples are made by averaging the mean values of classes with votes that are close in number to the most likely class. We provide experimental evidence that this indirect approach can often yield strong results for many applications, generally outperforming direct approaches such as regression trees and rivaling bagged regression trees.

Supporting audiovisual query using dynamic programming
Authors: Milind R. Naphade, Roy Wang, Thomas S. Huang
Venue: Proceedings of the ninth ACM international conference on Multimedia (2001)

A necessary capability for content-based retrieval is to support the paradigm of query by example. Most systems for video retrieval support queries using image sequences only. We present an algorithm for matching multimodal (audio-visual) patterns for the purpose of content-based video retrieval. The novel ability of our approach to use the information content in multiple media coupled with a strong emphasis on temporal similarity differentiates it from the state-of-the-art in content-based retrieval. At the core of the pattern matching scheme is a dynamic programming algorithm, which leads to a significant improvement in performance. Coupling the use of audio with video this algorithm can be applied to grouping of shots based on audio-visual similarity. We also support relevance feedback. The user can provide feedback to the system, by choosing clips, which are closer to the user's desired target. The system then automatically adjusts the relative weights or relevance of the media and fetches different sets of target clips accordingly. It is our observation that a few iterations of such feedback are generally sufficient, for retrieving the desired video clips.

Confronting the assumptions underlying the management of knowledge: an agenda for understanding and investigating knowledge management
Authors: Kathy A. Stewart, Richard Baskerville, Veda C. Storey, James A. Senn, Arjan Raven, Cherie Long
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (2000)

Knowledge and knowledge management are receiving tremendous interest from both practitioners and academics. Although knowledge management is often accepted as a very useful organizational activity, a number of the assumptions underlying knowledge management have not been investigated. This paper examines four knowledge management assumptions: knowledge is worth managing, organizations benefit from managing knowledge, knowledge can be managed, and little risk is associated with managing knowledge. The assumptions are analyzed at strategic and operational levels, and both negating and supporting evidence is presented. Based on this analysis, a framework for research in knowledge management is proposed. The framework is used to generate a number of key questions that should be addressed in knowledge management research. Particular attention is given to goals and rewards as well as to the role of information technology in knowledge management.

Deadlock detection in distribution object systems
Authors: Nima Kaveh, Wolfgang Emmerich
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

The behaviour of a distributed system is largely determined by the use of synchronization primitives and threading policies of the underlying middleware. The inherent parallel nature of distributed systems may cause liveness problems, such as deadlocks and livelocks. An increasing number of distributed systems is built using object middleware. We exploit the fact that modern object middleware offers only a few built-in synchronization and threading primitives by suggesting UML stereotypes to represent each of these primitives in distributed object design. We define the semantics of the stereotypes using a process algebra. We use that semantics to translate UML diagrams into behaviourally equivalent process algebra representations and can then use model checking techniques to find potential deadlocks. The paper also shows how the model checking results can be related back to the original UML diagrams.
