Universally composable two-party and multi-party secure computation
Authors: Ran Canetti, Yehuda Lindell, Rafail Ostrovsky, Amit Sahai
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

We show how to securely realize any multi-party functionality in a universally composable way, regardless of the number of corrupted participants. That is, we consider a multi-party network with open communication and an adversary that can adaptively corrupt as many parties as it wishes. In this setting, our protocols allow any subset of the parties (with pairs of parties being a special case) to securely realize any desired functionality of their local inputs, and be guaranteed that security is preserved regardless of the activity in the rest of the network. This implies that security is preserved under concurrent composition of an unbounded number of protocol executions, it implies non-malleability with respect to arbitrary protocols, and more. Our constructions are in the common reference string model and make general intractability assumptions.

Warlocks and Warpdrive: Contemporary Fantasy Entertainments with Interactive and Virtual Environments
Authors: Kurt Lancaster
Venue:  (1999)

:This book offers ten chapters examining contemporary fantasy entertainment forms that use virtual environments to amuse the participant. Called virtual fantasies by the author (as opposed to virtual realities), these entertainment forms are categorized into three main groupings. All include performance and imaginary environments as essential elementsparticipants are often simultaneously performers and audience. Many involve computer technology such as multimedia, digitized video, and online chatting. Part I covers imaginative fantasy entertainments, where the participants are required to use their imaginations to see the virtual environment. These include paper and pencil role-playing games (Dungeons and Dragons), live-action roleplaying games (International Fantasy Gaming Society rules), and collectible card games (Magic: The Gathering). Part II covers physical fantasy entertainments, where the participants need little imagination to see the virtual environment. These include computer games (Star Trek: Klingon), theme park rides (Disneylands Star Tours), and immersive museums (National Museum of the American Indian). Part III covers social fantasy entertainments, where participants have built communities based upon the virtual environment (Star Trek fandom, Star Wars influencing Ronald Reagans Pax Americana).

Application of aboutness to functional benchmarking in information retrieval
Authors: Kam-Fai Wong, Dawei Song, Peter Bruza, Chun-Hung Cheng
Venue: ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) (2001)

Experimental approaches are widely employed to benchmark the performance of an information retrieval (IR) system. Measurements in terms of recall and precision are computed as performance indicators. Although they are good at assessing the retrieval effectiveness of an IR system, they fail to explore deeper aspects such as its underlying functionality and explain why the system shows such performance. Recently, inductive (i.e., theoretical) evaluation of IR systems has been proposed to circumvent the controversies of the experimental methods. Several studies have adopted the inductive approach, but they mostly focus on theoretical modeling of IR properties by using some metalogic. In this article, we propose to use inductive evaluation for functional benchmarking of IR models as a complement of the traditional experiment-based performance benchmarking. We define a functional benchmark suite in two stages: the evaluation criteria based on the notion of "aboutness," and the formal evaluation methodology using the criteria. The proposed benchmark has been successfully applied to evaluate various well-known classical and logic-based IR models. The functional benchmarking results allow us to compare and analyze the functionality of the different IR models.

Incremental adaptive filtering: profile learning and threshold calibration
Authors: M. Boughanem, M. Tmar
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper proposes an adaptive filtering process. Adaptive filtering consists on receiving documents over time and compare them to the user profile. Filtering is improved over time by updating the user profile and the dissemination threshold, the profile and the threshold are the principle elements in the filtering decision function. In this paper, a linear system under constraints is resolved when a relevant document is retrieved, the solution to this system is used to improve the user profile. This allows to reinforce the relevance of each relevant retrieved document. The constraints are a form of Tf*Idf (Term frequency*Inverse document frequency). A gradient distribution approach is used, based on information extracted from relevant filtered documents to update the dissemination threshold. Experiments are undertaken into a dataset provided by TREC (Text REtrieval Conference) in order to simulate and evaluate a filtering process.

Application of the ASN.1 specification technique to the Bluetooth service discover protocol
Authors: John Larmouth, Olivier Dubuisson, Paul Thorpe
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking computing (2001)

This paper describes the work undertaken, and evaluates the results produced, in a project that applied ASN.1 and its newly developed Encoding Control Notation to the Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol. The use of ASN.1 + ECN was shown to be fully capable of specifying the bits-on-the-line required by the approved Bluetooth specification, and identified some areas where the current Bluetooth specification lacks precision --- noticeably in areas concerned with "extensibility".
Notes on acyclic orientations and the shelling lemma
Authors: Komei Fukudaa, Alain Prodon, Tadashi Sakuma
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

In this paper we study two lemmas on acyclic orientations and totally cyclic orientations of a graph, which can be derived from the shelling lemma in vector subspaces. We give simple graph theoretical proofs as well as a proof by the interpretations of the shelling lemma in the special setting of graphs. Furthermore, we present similar interpretations of closely related theorems in vector subspaces, which do not seem to admit simple graph theoretical proofs.

Bridging physical and electronic media for distributed design collaboration
Authors: Scott Klemmer, Katherine Everitt
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Research on distributed collaboration has predominantly focused on shared electronic media. We have found, as other researchers have, that users often have good reason to want to work with physical media. Yet they would still like to collaborate with each other. A fundamental tension exists in the design of systems to support remote collaboration when the interaction primitives are physical: physical objects live in one place. We have designed and implemented a remote collaboration system where users can still use physical objects. We introduce an interaction paradigm where objects that are physical in one space are electronic in the other space, and vice versa. Our distributed system is designed for two groups, with multiple users at each end. Our tangible approach is the first system to enable simultaneous, multi-input across locations. We have implemented this system as an extension to the Designers' Outpost[5].

Simulating evolutionary agent communities with OOCSMP
Authors: Manuel Alfonseca, Juan de Lara
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

This paper describes some extensions added to the continuous simulation language OOCSMP to perform agent-oriented simulation. The extensions are tested by simulating the evolution of a colony of virtual ants (vants). In this simulation, each vant is modelled as an agent and is assigned a set of genes that control some aspects of its behaviour, such as its velocity, memory, communication abilities, scepticism, etc. Some emergent properties of the swarm of vants have been observed.
Secure communicating systems: design, analysis, and implementation
Venue:  (2001)

More and more working computer professionals are actively confronted with the use, maintenance, or customization of cryptographic components and program certification mechanisms for local or remote (mobile) code. this text, meant for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, tells what every computer scientist should know about cryptographic systems, security protocols, and secure information flow in programs. In addition to the standard material on public-key cryptosystems, stream and block ciphers, and certain secure communication protocols, the author presents several important topics not treated in most other texts: a detailed description of the new advanced encryption standard (AES) of NIST, the cipher Rijndael, announced as the winner of the AES design competition on October 10, 2000,a complete description of an optimal public-key encryption using RSA which turns "textbook RSA" into a practical implementation whose semantic security is supported by a theoretical analysis conducted in the random oracle model, a current and formal discussion of standard security models for information flow in computer programs or human organisations,a presentation of a formal method for specifying and debugging security protocols, a current discussion of the moral, legal, and political ramifications of cryptology and an overview of recent legislative efforts. The text also contains numerous implementation projects, a rigorous analysis of the Miller-Rabin algorithm, and a proof of the existence of primitive roots for prime powers.
