Efficient processing of conical queries
Authors: Hakan Ferhatosmanoglu, Divyakant Agrawal, Amr El Abbadi
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Conical queries are a novel type of query with an increasing number of applications. Traditional index structures and retrieval mechanisms, in general, have been optimized for rectangular and circular queries, rather than conical queries. In this paper, we focus on conical queries which can be defined as a multi-dimensional cone in a multi-dimensional data space. We develop a model for expressing such queries and suggest efficient techniques for evaluating them. In particular, we explore the retrieval problem in the context of conical query processing and develop multi-disk allocation methods specifically for processing conical queries.
Information programming for personal user interfaces
Authors: Stephen Farrell, Volkert Buchmann, Christopher S. Campbell, Paul P. Maglio
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

With widespread access to e-mail, the world-wide web, and other information sources, people now use computers more for managing information than for managing applications. To support how people naturally and routinely organize information, computers ought to be able to reflect the categories, relationships, and cues that people rely on when thinking about and remembering facts. Toward this end, we created an Information Programming Toolkit (IPtk) that collects application-independent properties, indexes documents along many dimensions to create a personal record of information use, and provides convenient means for information access. The IPtk enables the development of smart user interfaces that automatically tailor information to a user's history and context of information use.

NATE: Network Analysis of Anomalous Traffic Events, a low-cost approach
Authors: Carol Taylor, Jim Alves-Foss
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 workshop on New security paradigms (2001)

A new approach to network intrusion detection is needed to solve the monitoring problems of high volume network data and the time constraints for Intrusion Detection System (IDS) management. Most current network IDS's have not been specifically designed for high speed traffic or low maintenance. We propose a solution to these problems which we call NATE, Network Analysis of Anomalous Traffic Events. Our approach features minimal network traffic measurement, an anomaly-based detection method, and a limited attack scope. NATE is similar to other lightweight approaches in its simplified design, but our approach, being anomaly based, should be more efficient in both operation and maintenance than other lightweight approaches. We present the method and perform an empirical test using MIT Lincoln Lab's data.

A highly scalable and effective method for metasearch
Authors: Weiyi Meng, Zonghuan Wu, Clement Yu, Zhuogang Li
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) (2001)

A metasearch engine is a system that supports unified access to multiple local search engines. Database selection is one of the main challenges in building a large-scale metasearch engine. The problem is to efficiently and accurately determine a small number of potentially useful local search engines to invoke for each user query. In order to enable accurate selection, metadata that reflect the contents of each search engine need to be collected and used. This article proposes a highly scalable and accurate database selection method. This method has several novel features. First, the metadata for representing the contents of all search engines are organized into a single integrated representative. Such a representative yields both computational efficiency and storage efficiency. Second, the new selection method is based on a theory for ranking search engines optimally. Experimental results indicate that this new method is very effective. An operational prototype system has been built based on the proposed approach.

Paillier's cryptosystem revisited
Authors: Dario Catalano, Rosario Gennaro, Nick Howgrave-Graham, Phong Q. Nguyen
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Computer and Communications Security (2001)

We re-examine Paillier's cryptosystem, and show that by choosing a particular discrete log base g, and by introducing an alternative decryption procedure, we can extend the scheme to allow an arbitrary exponent e instead of N. The use of low exponents substantially increases the efficiency of the scheme. The semantic security is now based on a new decisional assumption, namely the hardness of deciding whether an element is a "small" e-th residue modulo N2.We also show how to use Paillier's original cryptosystem to build a trapdoor commitment scheme. This new scheme is information-theoretically private, and computationally binding (this property holds under the assumption that the RSA function with exponent N is hard to invert). A novel property of this new commitment scheme is that most of the work can be done offline before knowing the message one wants to commit to. Once the message is known only two multiplications are required. This is the first trapdoor commitment scheme with this online-offline efficiency property which is also length-preserving.

Global Paradox: The Bigger the World Econmy, the More Powerful Its Smallest Players, 1st edition
Authors: John Naisbitt
Venue:  (1993)

:In two previous blockbuster international best-sellers, John Naisbitt comprehensively identified the major trends that have swept through every sector of our world in the last fifteen years: from the globalization of the economy to the surging impact of technological innovation to the renewed power of culture in our lives. Now we confront a new pulse of change, a Global Paradox that will surely transform our lives:. The larger the system, the smaller and more powerful and important the parts. Countries and companies are deconstructing into vital, smaller and smaller units. Multinational corporations are dramatically changing the way they do business or falling by the wayside. Empires are crumbling while looser economic alliances are on the rise. Nationalist movements in Quebec, Scotland, and throughout the former Soviet Bloc suddenly have a new, unprecedented vitality. In Global Paradox, John Naisbitt builds a powerful instrument of comprehension from this one profound and vital insight about the seemingly chaotic changes that appear to grip our world. The Paradox, as he sees it, is powered by the explosive developments in telecommunications which are the driving forces simultaneously creating the huge global economy and multiplying and empowering its parts. The Global Paradox is funded by the largest and fastest-growing industry in the world - tourism. Tourism is the face-to-face corollary of the communications revolution. Tourism creates infrastructures and can lift Third World economies; tourism incites our interest in other cultures and tribes - gives them validity, makes us want to visit them. The force shaking the foundations of huge economic and political structures is this same tribalism: The more universal we become, the more tribal we act. This tribalism will bring hundreds, perhaps thousands, of new countries into existence and will empower thousands of diverse, tribally affiliated groups. For the Global Paradox, China is the test case. Central econo The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Scheduled Dataflow: Execution Paradigm, Architecture, and Performance Evaluation
Authors: Krishna M. Kavi, Roberto Giorgi, Joseph Arul
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2001)

In this paper, the Scheduled Dataflow (SDF) architecture¿a decoupled memory/execution, multithreaded architecture using nonblocking threads¿is presented in detail and evaluated against Superscalar architecture. Recent focus in the field of new processor architectures is mainly on VLIW (e.g., IA-64), superscalar, and superspeculative designs. This trend allows for better performance, but at the expense of increased hardware complexity and, possibly, higher power expenditures resulting from dynamic instruction scheduling. Our research deviates from this trend by exploring a simpler, yet powerful execution paradigm that is based on dataflow and multithreading. A program is partitioned into nonblocking execution threads. In addition, all memory accesses are decoupled from the thread's execution. Data is preloaded into the thread's context (registers) and all results are poststored after the completion of the thread's execution. While multithreading and decoupling are possible with control-flow architectures, SDF makes it easier to coordinate the memory accesses and execution of a thread, as well as eliminate unnecessary dependencies among instructions. We have compared the execution cycles required for programs on SDF with the execution cycles required by programs on SimpleScalar (a superscalar simulator) by considering the essential aspects of these architectures in order to have a fair comparison. The results show that SDF architecture can outperform the superscalar. SDF performance scales better with the number of functional units and allows for a good exploitation of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) and available chip area.

Node conversion in hypermedia systems
Authors: Anamika Saxena, Su Hee Kim, Caroline M. Eastman
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

In a hypermedia system information is stored in a network of nodes, connected by links. Each node can be presented using one or more media formats. The problem of automatically converting a node from one media format to another is considered. This capability would allow users to select the most convenient representation for a particular application. A number of possible conversions are presented, and some of the design issues involved in automatic node conversion are discussed. A prototype system has been implemented, and future research is planned.

Using acceptors as transducers
Authors: Matti Nykänen
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

We wish to use a given nondeterministic two-way multi-tape acceptor as a transducer by supplying the contents for only some of its input tapes, and asking it to generate the missing contents for the other tapes. We provide here an algorithm for assuring beforehand that this transduction always results in a finite set of answers. We also develop an algorithm for evaluating these answers whenever the previous algorithm indicated their finiteness. Furthermore, our algorithms can be used for speeding up the simulation of these acceptors even when not used as transducers. Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
SmartCU3D: a collaborative virtual environment system with behavior based interaction management
Authors: Weihua Wang, Qingping Lin, Jim Mee Ng, Chor Ping Low
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2001)

To support real-time natural interaction in the Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) with limited network bandwidth and computer processing power, the development of an efficient interaction management mechanism is a key issue. In this paper, we propose a behavior based interaction management mechanism for managing the collaborative interactions among the distributed users in our developed SmartCU3D, an Internet CVE system. With this mechanism, message routing in the system becomes adaptive to the application and the users' runtime interaction. It is achieved by giving the Object-Oriented style collaborative behavior description along with the 3D environment definition for every individual CVE application. The motivation of this research is to develop a framework to support a flexible and adaptive interaction management mechanism for developing different CVE applications.

Types and programming languages
Authors: Benjamin C. Pierce
Venue:  (2002)

A type system is a syntactic method for automatically checking the absence of certain erroneous behaviors by classifying program phrases according to the kinds of values they compute. The study of type systems--and of programming languages from a type-theoretic perspective--has important applications in software engineering, language design, high-performance compilers, and security. This text provides a comprehensive introduction both to type systems in computer science and to the basic theory of programming languages. The approach is pragmatic and operational; each new concept is motivated by programming examples and the more theoretical sections are driven by the needs of implementations. Each chapter is accompanied by numerous exercises and solutions, as well as a running implementation, available via the Web. Dependencies between chapters are explicitly identified, allowing readers to choose a variety of paths through the material. The core topics include the untyped lambda-calculus, simple type systems, type reconstruction, universal and existential polymorphism, subtyping, bounded quantification, recursive types, kinds, and type operators. Extended case studies develop a variety of approaches to modeling the features of object-oriented languages.
