FCA-based approach for mining contextualized folksonomy
Authors: Hak Lae Kim, Suk Hyung Hwang, Hong Gee Kim
Venue: Proceedings of the 2007 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2007)

We present a novel approach to build the contextualized folksonomy and concept hieracrhies from tags of blogosphere based on Formal Concept Analysis. Our approach is based on the assumption that if a blog has the relationships with others, they would use the similar set of tags. We collect the sample data from blogosphere randomly and then build the concept hierarchies on the basis of the inclusion relations(tags) between the extensions(bloggers). We propose the formalization of the contextualized folksonomy in terms of Formal Concept Analysis and show how our approach can be used to create the contextualized folksonmy for blogosphere. We evaluate our approach by considering an already existing tags of blogosphere.
Service communities: applications and middleware
Authors: Stefan Tai, Nirmit Desai, Pietro Mazzoleni
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th international workshop on Software engineering and middleware (2006)

Businesses increasingly provide and use services, applying formal (Web) services technology for the description, composition, and management of software as services. At the same time, social communities are emerging on the Web, applying less formal practices and Web 2.0 technology for the dissemination and aggregation of diverse content. In this paper, we are interested in the combination of these two trends in the form of service communities: social and business communities exchanging services. We discuss applications of service communities and introduce the concept of Service Clubs as a structuring mechanism for communities. Clubs have been specifically designed to support community-based, per-project interaction and composition of services.

On noninterruptive rearrangeable networks
Authors: Frank K. Hwang, Wen-Dar Lin, Vadim Lioubimov
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2006)

In this paper, we study a new class of nonblocking networks called noninterruptive rearrangeable (NIR) networks, which are rearrangeable under the additional condition that existing connections are not interrupted while their paths being possibly rerouted to accommodate a new request. We give a complete characterization of NIR Clos networks built of switching elements of various nonblocking properties. In particular, we propose a novel class of NIR Clos networks that leads to recursive constructions of various cost-efficient multistage NIR networks. Finally, we present examples of such constructions and compare them with the best previously known results.

Oriented connectivity-based method for segmenting solar loops
Authors: Jong Kwan Lee, Timothy S. Newman, G. Allen Gary
Venue: Pattern Recognition (2006)

A method based on oriented connectivity that can automatically segment arc-like structures (solar loops) from intensity images of the Sun's corona is introduced. The method is a constructive approach that uses model-guided processing to enable extraction of credible loop structures. Since the solar loops are vestiges of the solar magnetic field, the model-guided processing exploits external estimates of this field's local orientations that are derived from a physical magnetic field model. Empirical studies of the method's effectiveness are also presented. The oriented connectivity-based method is the first automatic method for the segmentation of solar loops.

Use of the analytical system as the decision support system for the HLA joint training environment
Authors: Jiung-yao Huang, Ming-Chih Tung, Ji-Jen Wu, Shu-Shen Wai, Chung-Hsien Tsai
Venue: Proceedings of the 38th conference on Winter simulation (2006)

This paper proposes an approach to join the analytical system to the real-time operational war game system. The interoperability issues of these two heterogeneous war game systems are fully explored in this paper. The purpose of interoperability among heterogeneous systems is to extend the capability of the joint systems beyond their originally designed purposes. This paper starts with the purpose of interoperability to categorize the types of the heterogeneous joint simulation. The technical issue and architecture of the heterogeneous joint simulation environment are then explored. Our experiment shows that the proposed method of using the analytical system as the decision support system is feasible and efficient approach to provide a heterogeneous joint training environment.

Performance modelling of TCP enhancements in terrestrial-satellite hybrid networks
Authors: Jing Zhu, Sumit Roy, Jae H. Kim
Venue: IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (TON) (2006)

In this paper, we focus on the performance of TCP enhancements for a hybrid terrestrial-satellite network. While a large body of literature exists regarding modeling TCP performance for the wired Internet, and recently over a single-hop wireless link, the literature is very sparse on TCP analysis over a hybrid wired-wireless (multi-hop) path. We seek to make a contribution to this problem (where the wireless segment is a satellite uplink) by deriving analytical estimates of TCP throughput for two widely deployed approaches: TCP splitting and E2E (End-to-End) TCP with link layer support as a function of key parameters such as terrestrial/satellite propagation delay, segment loss rate and buffer size. Our analysis is supported by simulations; throughput comparisons indicate superiority of TCP splitting over E2E scheme in most cases. However, in situations where end-to-end delay is dominated by terrestrial portion and buffering is very limited at intermediate node, E2E achieves higher throughput than TCP splitting.
Robust Hausdorff distance measure for face recognition
Authors: Vivek E. P, N. Sudha
Venue: Pattern Recognition (2007)

Face is considered to be one of the biometrics in automatic person identification. The non-intrusive nature of face recognition makes it an attractive choice. For face recognition system to be practical, it should be robust to variations in illumination, pose and expression as humans recognize faces irrespective of all these variations. In this paper, an attempt to address these issues is made using a new Hausdorff distance-based measure. The proposed measure represent the gray values of pixels in face images as vectors giving the neighborhood intensity distribution of the pixels. The transformation is expected to be less sensitive to illumination variations besides preserving the appearance of face embedded in the original gray image. While the existing Hausdorff distance-based measures are defined between the binary edge images of faces which contains primarily structural information, the proposed measure gives the dissimilarity between the appearance of faces. An efficient method to compute the proposed measure is presented. The performance of the method on bench mark face databases shows that it is robust to considerable variations in pose, expression and illumination. Comparison with some of the existing Hausdorff distance-based methods shows that the proposed method performs better in many cases.

Cisco IOS Cookbook
Authors: Kevin Dooley, Ian Brown
Venue:  (2006)

Never has something cried out for a cookbook quite as much as Cisco's Internetwork Operating System (IOS). IOS is powerful and flexible, but also confusing and daunting. Most tasks can be accomplished in several different ways. And you don't want to spend precious time figuring out which way is best when you're trying to solve a problem quickly. That's what this cookbook is for. Fortunately, most router configuration tasks can be broken down into several more or less independent steps: you configure an interface, you configure a routing protocol, you set up backup links, you implement packet filters and other access control mechanisms. What you really need is a set of recipes that show you how to perform the most common tasks, so you can quickly come up with a good configuration for your site. And you need to know that these solutions work: you don't want to find yourself implementing a backup link at 2 A.M. because your main link is down and the backup link you set up when you installed the router wasn't quite right.Thoroughly revised and expanded, Cisco IOS Cookbook, 2nd Edition, adds sections on MPLS, Security, IPv6, and IP Mobility, and presents solutions to the most common configuration problems, including:Configuring interfaces of many types, from serial to ATM and Frame RelayConfiguring all of the common IP routing protocols (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP)Configuring authenticationConfiguring other services, including DHCP and NTPSetting up backup links, and using HSRP to configure backup routersManaging the router, including SNMP and other solutionsUsing access lists to control the traffic through the routerIf you work with Cisco routers, you need a book like this to help you solve problems quickly and effectively. Even if you're experienced, the solutions and extensive explanations will give you new ideas and insights into router configuration. And if you're not experienced--if you've just been given responsibility for managing a network with Cisco routers--this book could be a job-saver.

User modeling and adaptation in health promotion dialogs with an animated character
Authors: Fiorella de Rosis, Nicole Novielli, Valeria Carofiglio, Addolorata Cavalluzzi, Berardina De Carolis
Venue: Journal of Biomedical Informatics (2006)

In this paper, we describe our experience with the design and implementation of an embodied conversational agent (ECA) that converses with users to change their dietary behavior. Our intent is to develop a system that dynamically models the agent and the user and adapts the agent's counseling dialog accordingly. Towards this end, we discuss our efforts to automatically determine the user's dietary behavior stage of change and attitude towards the agent on the basis of unconstrained typed text dialog, first with another person and then with an ECA controlled by an experimenter in a wizard of Oz study. We describe how the results of these studies have been incorporated into an algorithm that combines the results from simple parsing rules together with contextual features using a Bayesian network to determine user stage and attitude automatically.
Dual unification of bi-class support vector machine formulations
Authors: L. González, C. Angulo, F. Velasco, A. Catalí
Venue: Pattern Recognition (2006)

Support vector machine (SVM) theory was originally developed on the basis of a linearly separable binary classification problem, and other approaches have been later introduced for this problem. In this paper it is demonstrated that all these approaches admit the same dual problem formulation in the linearly separable case and that all the solutions are equivalent. For the non-linearly separable case, all the approaches can also be formulated as a unique dual optimization problem, however, their solutions are not equivalent. Discussions and remarks in the article point to an in-depth comparison between SVM formulations and associated parameters.
