SmartSkip: consumer level browsing and skipping of digital video content
Authors: Steven M. Drucker, Asta Glatzer, Steven De Mar, Curtis Wong
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

In this paper, we describe an interface for browsing and skipping digital video content in a consumer setting; that is, sitting and watching television from a couch using a standard remote control. We compare this interface with two other interfaces that are in common use today and found that subjective satisfaction was statistically better with the new interface. Performance metrics however, like time to task completion and number of clicks were worse.
Discovering unexpected information from your competitors' web sites
Authors: Bing Liu, Yiming Ma, Philip S. Yu
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining (2001)

Ever since the beginning of the Web, finding useful information from the Web has been an important problem. Existing approaches include keyword-based search, wrapper-based information extraction, Web query and user preferences. These approaches essentially find information that matches the user's explicit specifications. This paper argues that this is insufficient. There is another type of information that is also of great interest, i.e., unexpected information, which is unanticipated by the user. Finding unexpected information is useful in many applications. For example, it is useful for a company to find unexpected information bout its competitors, e.g., unexpected services and products that its competitors offer. With this information, the company can learn from its competitors and/or design counter measures to improve its competitiveness. Since the number of pages of a typical commercial site is very large and there are also many relevant sites (competitors), it is very difficult for a human user to view each page to discover the unexpected information. Automated assistance is needed. In this paper, we propose a number of methods to help the user find various types of unexpected information from his/her competitors' Web sites. Experiment results show that these techniques are very useful in practice and also efficient.
Topological Properties of OTIS-Networks
Authors: Khaled Day, Abdel-Elah Al-Ayyoub
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (2002)

We conduct a general study on the topological properties of Optical Transpose Interconnection Systems (OTIS). We first obtain their basic topological metrics of size, degree, shortest distance, and diameter and then we obtain results related to recursive structure and efficient embedding of meshes, cubes, spanning trees, and cycles. We also present minimal one-to-one routing and optimal broadcasting algorithms and we show how to construct node-disjoint paths between any two nodes of an OTIS network. Recent studies have addressed only particular members of the general class of OTIS networks. In this paper, we present unified tools for obtaining the topological properties of an arbitrary OTIS network based on the properties of the corresponding factor network.
Discovering critical edge sequences in E-commerce catalogs
Authors: Kaushik Dutta, Debra VanderMeer, Anindya Datta, Krithi Ramamritham
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM conference on Electronic Commerce (2001)

Web sites allow the collection of vast amounts of navigational data -- clickstreams of user traversals through the site. These massive data stores offer the tantalizing possibility of uncovering interesting patterns within the dataset. For e-businesses, always looking for an edge in the hyper-competitive online marketplace, this possibility is of particular interest. Of significant particular interest to e-businesses is the discovery of Critical Edge Sequences (CES), which denote frequently traversed subpaths in the catalog. CESs can be used to improve site performance and site management, increase the effectiveness of advertising on the site, and gather additional knowledge of customer interest patterns on the site.Using traditional graph-based and web mining strategies to find CESs could turn out to be expensive in both space and time. In this paper, we propose a method to compute the most popular paths bewteen node pairs in a catalog, which are then used to discover CESs. Our method is both space-efficient and accurate, providing a vast reduction in the storage requirement with a minimum impact on accuracy. This algorithm, executed off-line in batch mode, is also practical with respect to running time. As a variant of single-source shortest-path, it runs in log linear time.

Register-machine based processes
Authors: Jan A. Bergstra, Alban Ponse
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2001)

We study extensions of the process algebra axiom system ACP with two recursive operations: the binary Kleene star *, which is defined by x*y = x(x*y + y, and the push-down operation $, defined by x$y = x((x$y)(x$y)) + y. In this setting it is easy to represent register machine computation, and an equational theory results that is not decidable. In order to increase the expressive power, abstraction is then added: with rooted branching bisimulation equivalence each computable process can be expressed, and with rooted ô-bisimilarity each semi-computable process that initially is finitely branching can be expressed. Moreover, with abstraction and a finite number of auxiliary actions these results can be obtained without binary Kleene star. Finally, we consider two alternatives for the push-down operation. Each of these gives rise to similar results.

Minimal cover-automata for finite languages
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

A cover-automaton A of a finite language L &Sgr; is a finite deterministic automaton (DFA) that accepts all words in L and possibly other words that are longer than any word in L. A minimal deterministic finite cover automaton (DFCA) of a finite language L usually has a smaller size than a minimal DFA that accepts L. Thus, cover automata can be used to reduce the size of the representations of finite languages in practice. In this paper, we describe an efficient algorithm that, for a given DFA accepting a finite language, constructs a minimal deterministic finite cover-automaton of the language. We also give algorithms for the boolean operations on deterministic cover automata, i.e., on the finite languages they represent.

Multi-dimensional sequential pattern mining
Authors: Helen Pinto, Jiawei Han, Jian Pei, Ke Wang, Qiming Chen, Umeshwar Dayal
Venue: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management (2001)

Sequential pattern mining, which finds the set of frequent subsequences in sequence databases, is an important data-mining task and has broad applications. Usually, sequence patterns are associated with different circumstances, and such circumstances form a multiple dimensional space. For example, customer purchase sequences are associated with region, time, customer group, and others. It is interesting and useful to mine sequential patterns associated with multi-dimensional information.In this paper, we propose the theme of multi-dimensional sequential pattern mining, which integrates the multidimensional analysis and sequential data mining. We also thoroughly explore efficient methods for multi-dimensional sequential pattern mining. We examine feasible combinations of efficient sequential pattern mining and multi-dimensional analysis methods, as well as develop uniform methods for high-performance mining. Extensive experiments show the advantages as well as limitations of these methods. Some recommendations on selecting proper method with respect to data set properties are drawn.

A unified analysis of hot video schedulers
Authors: Wun-Tat Chan, Tak-Wah Lam, Hing-Fung Ting, Wai-Ha Wong
Venue: Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing (2002)

In this paper we consider the notion of relative competitive analysis, which is a simple generalization of the conventional competitive analysis and extra-resource analysis for on-line algorithms. We apply this analysis to study on-line schedulers for stream merging in two different video-on-demand (VOD) systems, which are based on two common approaches, namely, piggybacking and skimming. Our new analysis, in its simplest form, reveals a 3-competitive algorithm for stream merging based on skimming as well as piggybacking. This improves all previous results [4, 8]. We also show how to obtain guarantee on the performance improvement based on adding extra resources, and more interestingly, we provide a unified methodology to compare piggybacking and skimming. We believe that our result gives a clue to system designers for choosing desirable configurations.

Exploiting the on-chip inductance in high-speed clock distribution networks
Authors: Yehea I. Ismail, Eby G. Friedman, Jose L. Neves
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2001)

On-chip inductance effects can be used to improve the performance of high-speed integrated circuits. Specifically, inductance improves the signal slew rate (the rise time), virutally eliminates short-circuit power consumption and reduces the area of the active devices and repeaters inserted to optimize the performance of long interconnects. These positive effects suggest the development of design strategies that benefit from on-chip inductance. An example of a clock distribution network is presented to illustrate the process in which inductance can be used to improve the performance of high-speed integrated circuits.

Aspects of the taxonomic relation in the biomedical domain
Authors: Anita Burgun, Olivier Bodenreider
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001 (2001)

Taxonomies are commonly used for organizing knowledge, particularly in biomedicine where the taxonomy of living organisms and the classification of diseases are central to the domain. The principles used to produce taxonomies are either intrinsic (properties of the partial ordering relation) or added to make knowledge more manageable (opposition of siblings and economy). The applicability of these principles in the biomedical domain is presented using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) and issues raised by the application of these principles are illustrated. While intrinsic principles are not challenged, we argue that the opposition of siblings brings to bear excessive constraints on a domain ontology and that the adverse effects of economy may outweigh its benefits. The two-level structure used in the UMLS is discussed.

The role of B2B engines in B2B integration architectures
Authors: Christoph Bussler
Venue: ACM SIGMOD Record (2002)

Semantic B2B Integration architectures must enable enterprises to communicate standards-based B2B events like purchase orders with any potential trading partner. This requires not only back end application integration capabilities to integrate with e.g. enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems as the company-internal source and destination of B2B events, but also a capability to implement every necessary B2B protocol like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), RosettaNet as well as more generic capabilities like web services (WS). This paper shows the placement and functionality of B2B engines in semantic B2B integration architectures that implement a generic framework for modeling and executing any B2B protocol. A detailed discussion shows how a B2B engine can provide the necessary abstractions to implement any standard-based B2B protocol or any trading partner specific specialization.
