Using signal processing to analyze wireless data traffic
Authors: Craig Partridge, David Cousins, Alden W. Jackson, Rajesh Krishnan, Tushar Saxena, W. Timothy Strayer
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Wireless security (2002)

Experts have long recognized that theoretically it was possible to perform traffic analysis on encrypted packet streams by analyzing the timing of packet arrivals (or transmissions). We report on experiments to realize this possiblity using basic signal processing techniques taken from acoustics to perform traffic analysis on encrypted transmissions over wireless networks. While the work discussed here is preliminary, we are able to demonstrate two very interesting results. First, we can extract timing information, such as round-trip times of TCP connections, from traces of aggregated data traffic. Second, we can determine how data is routed through a network using coherence analysis. These results show that signal processing techniques may prove to be valuable network analysis tools in the future.

Improving database schemes by adding attributes
Authors: Edward Sciore
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1983)

This paper examines the technique of adding attributes to a relational database scheme. It is shown that doing so can result in an improvement in the conceptual simplicity and efficiency of the scheme. Some well-known non-independent schemes are made independent by adding attributes, results are given to support the conjecture that all schemes can be made independent as well.

Bytecode verification on Java smart cards
Authors: Xavier Leroy
Venue: Software&mdash;Practice Experience (2002)

This article presents a novel approach to the problem of bytecode verification for Java Card applets. By relying on prior off-card bytecode transformations, we simplify the bytecode verifier and reduce its memory requirements to the point where it can be embedded on a smart card, thus increasing significantly the security of post-issuance downloading of applets on Java Cards. This article describes the on-card verification algorithm and the off-card code transformations, and evaluates experimentally their impact on applet code size.

Advanced Methods in Neural Computing, 1st edition
Authors: Philip D. Wasserman
Venue:  (1993)

:Following up where Neural Computing: Theory and Practice left off, this guide explains diverse high-performance paradigms for artificial neural networks (ANNs) that function effectively in real-world situations. The tutorial approach, use of standardized notation, undergraduate-level mathematics, and extensive examples explain methods for solving practical neural network engineering problems in a clear and comprehensible manner. Emphasis is given to paradigms that perform well rather than those of academic interest. Explanations of the paradigms are program-oriented and are written in algorithmic form. Self-contained chapters cover field theory methods, including Nestor's restricted coulomb energy system; probabilistic neural networks, which can increase training speed by orders of magnitude; genetic algorithms that mimic biological evolution; sparse distributed memory, a powerful associative memory paradigm, which is compatible with VLSI implementation; fuzzy logic methods that are finding widespread application in control systems; neural engineering, including a set of techniques for designing, training, and applying artificial neural systems to real-world problems; and additional chapters cover basis function methods, chaos, and automatic control. Most of the paradigms presented have been used by the author in actual applications. Paradigms that are still in the research stage, but offer great potential, are also discussed. Advanced Methods in Neural Computing meets the reference needs of electronics engineers, control systems engineers, programmers, and others in scientific disciplines.

Authors: Sean Baird, Chris Miller
Venue:  (1998)

:SQL Server System Administration assumes that you are familiar with the fundamentals of database administration and have worked with SQL Server in some capacity. This book focuses on the topic of interest to most administrators: keeping data consistently available to users. Unlike other SQL Server books that are wide in scope, discuss SQL Server basics, and have little relevance to the serious SQL Server DBA, SQL Server System Administration provides a hands-on approach that administrators won't find elsewhere. For example, instead of dedicating pages to explaining queries and how they work, this book talks about choosing the correct replication topology and achieving high availability of information.

On the problem of generating common predecessors
Authors: W. Lehner, W. Hümmer, L. Schlesinger, A. Bauer
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Data Warehousing and OLAP (2002)

Using common subexpressions to speed up a set of queries is a well known and long studied problem. However, due to the isolation requirement, operating a database in the classic transactional way does not offer many applications to exploit the benefits of simultaneously computing a set of queries. In the opposite, many applications can be identified in the context of data warehousing, e. g. optimizing the incremental maintenance process of multiple dependent materialized views or the generation of application specific data marts. In the paper we discuss the problem whether it is always advisable to generate the most complete common predecessor for a given set of queries or to restrict a predecessor to a subset of all possible base tables. As we will see, this question cannot be answered without having knowledge about the cardinality of queries after aggregation. However, if we can rely on this information, we can come up with an optimal predecessor for a common set of queries.

Possible Palladian Villas: Plus a Few Instructively Impossible Ones
Authors: George L. Hersey, Richard Freedman
Venue:  (1992)

:The villas of Andrea Palladio have been among the most influential buildings in history. Drawing on the architect's original published legacy of forty-odd designs, George Hersey and Richard Freedman reveal the rigorous geometric rules by which Palladio conceived these structures. Where most earlier attempts to analyze the villas are mere lists of numbers and ratios that ignore space distribution, the present rules produce actual designs. Using a computer, the authors test each rule in every possible application, establishing a degree of validity not possible in ad hoc analyses. Progressing from the architect's most obvious to his subtlest ideas, the computer ultimately creates villa plans and facades that are stylistically indistinguishable from those of Palladio himself. Possible Palladian Villas opens the way to similar analyses of other such "paradigmatic" designs, whether Chinese screens, Greek temples, baroque churches, or Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Houses. In fact a new approach to architectural history emerges: we can study designs that a given master might have produced but did not. Palladio's actual buildings, along with those of his generations of imitators, are set into the context not only of a new theory but of a new type of theory. Along with the Macintosh disk that runs the program, Possible Palladian Villas will fascinate the design community and students of architectural style, symmetry, and geometry. It will fill architectural historians with bracing dismay. George Hersey is Professor of the History of Art at Yale University. Richard Freedman, who designed the computer program, is a product marketer working on MS-DOS at theMicrosoft Corporation.
