Now this modern visionary reveals how expanding technology is propelling the business world into an exciting new economic era....how every manager can - and must - stay ahead of the curve...and how integrated information systems can help every organization achieve....Business at the Speed of Thought. Changes are your company has a sizable investment in technology - and is realizing only 20 percent of its potential benefit. As Gates explains, you're probably viewing hardware and software as a way to solve specific problems. But like a living organism, an organization functions best if it can rely on a nervous system that will instantaneously deliver information to the parts that need it. In clear, nontechnical language, Business at the Speed of Thought shows you how a digital nervous system can unite all the systems and processes under one common infrastructure, releasing rivers of information and allowing your company to make a quantum leaps in efficiency, growth and profits. With eye-opening, detailed tours, into Microsoft and other major corporations, Gates unveils the way digital nervous systems - from the simplest to the most sophisticated - are revolutionizing the very nature of business.

Discovering outlier filtering rules from unlabeled data: combining a supervised learner with an unsupervised learner
Authors: Kenji Yamanishi, Jun-ichi Takeuchi
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

This paper is concerned with the problem of detecting outliers from unlabeled data. In prior work we have developed SmartSifter, which is an on-line outlier detection algorithm based on unsupervised learning from data. On the basis of SmartSifter this paper yields a new framework for outlier filtering using both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques iteratively in order to make the detection process more effective and more understandable. The outline of the framework is as follows: In the first round, for an initial dataset, we run SmartSifter to give each data a score, with a high score indicating a high possibility of being an outlier. Next, giving positive labels to a number of higher scored data and negative labels to a number of lower scored data, we create labeled examples. Then we construct an outlier filtering rule by supervised learning from them. Here the rule is generated based on the principle of minimizing extended stochastic complexity. In the second round, for a new dataset, we filter the data using the constructed rule, then among the filtered data, we run SmartSifter again to evaluate the data in order to update the filtering rule. Applying of our framework to the network intrusion detection, we demonstrate that 1) it can significantly improve the accuracy of SmartSifter, and 2) outlier filtering rules can help the user to discover a general pattern of an outlier group.
Sketching for knowledge capture: a progress report
Authors: Kenneth D. Forbus, Jeffrey Usher
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Intelligent user interfaces (2002)

Many concepts and situations are best explained by sketching. This paper describes our work on sKEA, the sketching Knowledge Entry Associate, a system designed for knowledge capture via sketching. We discuss the key ideas of sKEA: blob semantics for glyphs to sidestep recognition for visual symbols, qualitative spatial reasoning to provide richer visual and conceptual understanding of what is being communicated, arrows to express domain relationships, layers to express within-sketch segmentation (including a meta-layer to express subsketch relationships themselves via sketching), and analogical comparison to explore similarities and differences between sketched concepts. Experiences with sKEA to date and future plans are also discussed.

Development of tension based haptic interface and possibility of its application to virtual reality
Authors: Seahak Kim, Masahiro Ishii, Yasuharu Koike, Makoto Sato
Venue: Proceedings of the ACM symposium on Virtual reality software and technology (2000)

Continuous advances in computer technology are making it possible to construct virtual environments with an ever-increasing sense of visual realism. What is lacking are interfaces that allow users to manipulate virtual objects in an intuitive manner. In this paper, we present a 7 DOF tension-based haptic interface that allows users to not only grip an object but also to sense an object's width. We have developed a system to utilize the physical action of gripping to display grasp manipulation in virtual environments. We also present a method to calculate the position and display force associated with this gripping mechanism. Finally, we show the validity of our proposed haptic interface through examples.

Performance analysis of a multicasting protocol with contention-less minislots
Authors: Kil-Hyun Jeong, Jong-Kyu Lee, Hee-Kuck Oh
Venue: Information Processing Letters (2001)

In this paper, we analyze a protocol designed to improve processing performance in WDM networks. Throughput depends on control channel contention and destination collisions. Our protocol therefore divides control channels into contention and contention-less minilots. Any packets not reserved immediately are registered for a contention-less minislot in the next time slot. Control channel contention and the number of destination collisions are both reduced, improving system throughput. In our analysis, we calculate the state transition probability for various numbers of contention-less minislots and arriving packets.Our results confirm that the greatest improvement in system performance is when the maximum number of contention-less minislots equals the number of data channels. Our protocol was effective in improving system throughput.

Pricing Options with Futures-Style Margining: A Genetic Adaptive Neural Network Approach
Authors: A Jay White
Venue:  (1999)

:This book examines the applicability of a relatively new and powerful tool, genetic adaptive neural networks, to the field of option valuation. A genetic adaptive neural network model is developed to price option contracts with futures-style margining. This model is capable of estimating complex, non-linear relationships without having prior knowledge of the specific nature of the relationships. Traditional option pricing models require that the researcher or practitioner specify the distribution of the underlying asset. In addition, the methodology is able to easily accommodate additional inputs(something that cannot be preformed with existing models.Since 1973, options on stock have been traded on organized exchanges in the United States. An option on a stock gives the option owner the right to buy or sell the stock for a pre-set price.. Since the introduction of stock options, the options market has experienced tremendous growth and has spawned even more exotic types of derivative securities. Obviously, valuing these securities is an issue of great importance to investors and hedgers in the financial marketplace. Existing pricing models produce systematic pricing errors and new models have to be developed for options with differing characteristics. The genetic adaptive neural network is found to provide more accurate valuation than a traditional option pricing model when applied to the 3-month Eurodollar futures-option contract traded on the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange.
