Self-organized network-layer security in mobile ad hoc networks
Authors: Hao Yang, Xiaoqiao Meng, Songwu Lu
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM workshop on Wireless security (2002)

Protecting the network layer in a mobile ad hoc network is an important research topic in wireless security. This paper describes our unified network-layer security solution in ad hoc networks, which protects both routing and packet forwarding functionalities in the context of the AODV protocol. To address the unique characteristics of ad hoc networks, we take a self-organized approach by exploiting full localized design, without assuming any a priori trust or secret association between nodes. In our design, each node has a token in order to participate in the network operations, and its local neighbors collaboratively monitor it to detect any misbehavior in routing or packet forwarding services. Upon expiration of the token, each node renews its token via its multiple neighbors. The period of the validity of a node's token is dependent on how long it has stayed and behaved well in the network. A well-behaving node accumulates its credit and renews its token less and less frequently as time evolves. In essence, our security solution exploits collaboration among local nodes to protect the network layer without completely trusting any individual node.

Feedback Stabilization over Commutative Rings: Further Study of the Coordinate-Free Approach
Authors: Kazuyoshi Mori, Kenichi Abe
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

This paper is concerned with the coordinate-free approach to control systems. The coordinate-free approach is a factorization approach but does not require the coprime factorizations of the plant. We present two criteria for feedback stabilizability for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems in which transfer functions belong to the total rings of fractions of commutative rings. Both of them are generalizations of Sule's results in [SIAM J. Control Optim., 32 (1994), pp. 1675--1695]. The first criterion is expressed in terms of modules generated from a causal plant and does not require the plant to be strictly causal. It shows that if the plant is stabilizable, the modules are projective. The other criterion is expressed in terms of ideals called generalized elementary factors. This gives the stabilizability of a causal plant in terms of the coprimeness of the generalized elementary factors. As an example, a discrete finite-time delay system is considered.
Regulation of medical devices involving software in Australia: an overview
Authors: John Jamieson
Venue: Proceedings of the Sixth Australian workshop on Safety critical systems and software - Volume 3 (2001)

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates the supply of therapeutic goods in Australia --- including medical devices. Many medical devices are not programmable, electronic, or even electrical. However more devices are becoming programmable, and existing medical device software is becoming more complex.Currently in Australia, certain types of medical devices are subjected to extensive pre-market documentary evaluation by the TGA. However most devices have less scrutiny.It is proposed that medical device regulation in Australia will harmonise with the European Union Medical Device Directive. It is thereby hoped to: enhance requirements for many devices that are currently subject to few or no controls; reduce duplication for devices previously assessed by an overseas regulatory body; and to place increased emphasis on manufacturer quality and risk management systems and on post-market surveillance.The intention is to address the safety of medical device software in its environmental context, and as a part of the device as a whole.

HiPER: A Compact Narrow Channel Router with Hop-by-Hop Error Correction
Authors: Phil May, Santithorn Bunchua, D. Scott Wills
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

Multiprocessor architectures demand efficient interprocessor communication to maximize system utilization and performance. To meet future demands, these interconnects must communicate at significantly higher speeds while operating more efficiently to meet system size, weight, power, and energy requirements. As high-performance parallel computing architectures make their way into portable systems, compact, efficient, and error-tolerant computing and communication mechanisms will be required. This paper presents the High-Performance Efficient Router (HiPER), an efficient multidimensional router supporting high-throughput error-corrected communication channels. HiPER is a proof-of-concept vehicle for efficient implementations of routing, switching, and error control mechanisms. It combines mad postman (bit-pipelined) switching with dimension-order routing, producing a low-latency routing router that is less sensitive to message distance than a word parallel crossbar router. To maintain robust communication as link speeds increase and link power budgets decrease, HiPER employs flit-level hop-by-hop retransmission of erroneous flits, which provides built-in error control at the network level. Data presented on the implemented bit serial version of HiPER offer insight into future router designs with channel sizes between bit-serial and word-wide.

Half-Space Analysis of the Defect-Correction Method for Fromm Discretization of Convection
Authors: Boris Diskin, James L. Thomas
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

A novel, comprehensive, discrete, half-space analysis for the defect-correction method has been developed. This analysis plays the same role for nonelliptic-problem solvers as the full-space Fourier mode analysis plays for elliptic-problem solvers. Numerical simulations confirm the accuracy of the half-space analysis. The following important findings about the defect-correction method applied to the Fromm discretization of the two-dimensional convection equation are reported: The initial convergence rate of the defect-correction method is principally a function of the relative accuracy of the operators involved in the defect-correction iterations. The asymptotic convergence rate is about 0.5 per defect-correction iteration. If the driver operator is first-order accurate, then the initial convergence rates may be slow. The number of iterations required to get into the asymptotic convergence regime or/and to converge the algebraic error below the discretization-error level can be proportional to h -1/3. This h-dependent delay is a multidimensional phenomenon---it cannot be observed in one-dimensional problems, and it disappears in the case of close alignment between the grid and the convection equation characteristic. If the driver operator is second-order accurate, the defect-correction solver demonstrates the asymptotic convergence rate from the very beginning. Only one defect-correction iteration is required to converge algebraic error substantially below the discretization-error level.
Multimedia: A Critical Introduction
Authors: Richard Wise, Jeanette Steemers
Venue:  (2000)

:The rapid growth of multimedia technologies such as the Internet, e-mail and digital television holds the promise of a new "information age" that caters to individual tastes and creates new wealth. But are new media technologies really designed to achieve these utopian aims? Addressing such issues, Multimedia: A Critical Introduction provides a historical, cultural and political context to the development of multimedia as both a technology and a concept. Individual chapters discuss the origins of multimedia in the unlikely interaction between the military and 1960s counter-culture; the wide-ranging effects of the deregulation of media industries by the "new right" governments in the 1980s; issues of privacy and censorship; and the use of digital technology to create special effects in films.Contributors: Peter Dean, Luke Hockley, Jeanette Steemers.

Horizontal data partitioning in database design
Authors: S. Ceri, M. Negri, G. Pelagatti
Venue: Proceedings of the 1982 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data (1982)

In this paper the problem of horizontally partitioning data on a set of resources is considered.The main optimization parameter is the number of accesses performed by the application programs to different portions of data. The concepts which are required for the determination of relevant portions of data are defined and a methodology for determining the access parameters is proposed.The formulation of the general partitioning problem in 3 specific application environments is shown: distributed database design, file partitioning on a primary and a secondary memory and data distribution on different devices.It is shown that the analytical models of these specific applications use the parameters of the general formulation.
Information seeking and mediated searching study. Part 3: successive searching
Authors: Amanda Spink, T. D. Wilson, Nigel Ford, Allen Foster, David Ellis
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

Our project has investigated the processes of mediated information retrieval (IR) searching during human information-seeking processes to characterize aspects of this process, including information seekers' changing situational contexts; information problems; uncertainty reduction; successive searching, cognitive styles; and cognitive and affective states. The research has involved observational, longitudinal data collection in the United States and the United Kingdom. Three questionnaires were used for pre- and postsearch interviews: reference interview, information-seeker postsearch, and search intermediary postsearch questionnaires. In addition, the Sheffield team employed a fourth set of instruments in a follow-up interview some 2 months after the search. A total of 198 information seekers participated in a mediated on-line search with a professional intermediary using the Dialog Information Service. Each mediated search process was audiotaped and search transaction logs recorded. The findings are presented in four parts. Part I presents the background, theoretical framework, models, and research design used during the research. Part II is devoted to exploring changes in information seekers' uncertainty during the mediated process. Part III provides results related to successive searching. Part IV reports findings related to cognitive styles, individual differences, age and gender. Additional articles that discuss further findings from this complex research project, including: (1) an integrated model of information seeking and searching, (2) assessment of mediated searching, and (3) intermediary information-seeker communication, are in preparation and will be published separately.
