The format model: a theory of database organization
Authors: Richard Hull, Chee K. Yap
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1982)

A new theory of data representation involving "formats", which are based on three recurrent and prominent data-structuring concepts, is introduced. In a mathematically rigorous way, a notion of "equivalent" information capacity is defined and shown to be natural in a wide range of contexts. A normal form is introduced, and each equivalence class of formats is shown to have a unique representative in normal form. Finally, a natural way of comparing the information capacity of (non-equivalent) formats is formalized and studied.
Risky Business: Protect Your Business from Being Stalked, Conned, or Blackmailed on the Web, 1st edition
Authors: Daniel S. Janal
Venue:  (1998)

:In Risky Business, Daniel Janal, an online marketing and seasoned technology expert, takes a look at the numerous threats that can wreak havoc on corporations who promote themselves online. Posting cautionary warnings about external risks, Janal provides practical guidelines for setting standards for internal employee use, and - perhaps, most importantly - offers foolproof remedies and preventive techniques for effectively combatting cybercrime. Drawing an the advice of lawyers, law enforcement officials, government agencies, and investor relations professionals, it also reveals how you can protect yourself and your business. Risky Business gives you the bottom-line information you need to guard against web site risks - plagiarism, libel, copyright, and domain infringement; internal threats to company security - competitive spying, cyberindustrial espionage, employee abuse of Internet privileges; external attacks - stock manipulations from online investors, misinformation funneled through chat rooms, attach Web sites; and dangers to your financial well-being - online fraud, security violations, technical abuses that can affect individuals and organizations.

An Algebraic Characterization of Completely Regular Codes in Distance-Regular Graphs
Authors: M. A. Fiol, E. Garriga
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

Given a vertex subset C of a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ on n vertices, it is shown that C is a completely regular code if and only if the number of vertices at maximum distance from C satisfies an expression in terms of the spectrum of $\Gamma$ and some mean numbers computed from the distances among the vertices of C (the so-called "inner distribution" of C). For such codes, this result can be seen as an improvement of Delsarte's linear programming method, since it gives stronger necessary conditions for their existence. As an application, a purely spectral characterization of those distance-regular graphs which are "edge-distance-regular" (that is, with every edge being a completely regular code with the same parameters) is derived.

A Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Inferring Evolutionary Trees from Quartet Topologies and Its Application
Authors: Tao Jiang, Paul Kearney, Ming Li
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2001)

Inferring evolutionary trees has long been a challenging problem for both biologists and computer scientists. In recent years research has concentrated on the quartet method paradigm for inferring evolutionary trees. Quartet methods proceed by first inferring the evolutionary history for every set of four species (resulting in a set Q of inferred quartet topologies) and then recombining these inferred quartet topologies to form an evolutionary tree. This paper presents two results on the quartet method paradigm. The first is a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for recombining the inferred quartet topologies optimally. This is an important result since, to date, there have been no polynomial time algorithms with performance guarantees for quartet methods. To achieve this result the natural denseness of the set Q is exploited. The second result is a new technique, called quartet cleaning, that detects and corrects errors in the set Q with performance guarantees. This result has particular significance since quartet methods are usually very sensitive to errors in the data. It is shown how quartet cleaning can dramatically increase the accuracy of quartet methods.

Existence Theorems for Generalized Noncoercive Equilibrium Problems: The Quasi-Convex Case
Authors: Fabián Flores-Bazán
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

We provide a characterization of the nonemptiness of the solution set for generalized noncoercive equilibrium problems (an extension of generalized quasi-variational inequalities) defined in reflexive Banach spaces in the quasi-convex case. In addition, several necessary and sufficient conditions for the set of solutions to these problems to be nonempty and bounded are also given. Our approach is based on recession notions which proved to be very useful in the study of noncoercive minimization problems. In fact, we find some particular cones as estimates for the recession cone of the solution set. These cones (for the ones containing the latter set) are proved to be sharp enough to encompass several special situations found in the literature.
An Algorithm for Heilbronn's Problem
Authors: Claudia Bertram--Kretzberg, Thomas Hofmeister, Hanno Lefmann
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

Heilbronn conjectured that given arbitrary n points from the 2-dimensional unit square, there must be three points which form a triangle of area at most O(1/n2). This conjecture was disproved by a nonconstructive argument of Komlós, Pintz, and Szemerédi [ J. London Math. Soc., 25 (1982), pp. 13--24] who showed that for every n there is a configuration of n points in the unit square where all triangles have area at least $\Omega({\log n}/{n^2})$. Considering a discretization of Heilbronn's problem, we give an alternative proof of the result from [J. London Math. Soc., 25 (1982), pp. 13--24]. Our approach has two advantages: First, it yields a polynomial-time algorithm which for every n computes a configuration of n points where all triangles have area $\Omega({\log n}/{n^2})$. Second, it allows us to consider a generalization of Heilbronn's problem to convex hulls of k points where we can show that an algorithmic solution is also available.

Extension of the Thomas algorithm to a class of algebraic linear equation systems involving quasi-block-tridiagonal matrices with isolated block-pentadiagonal rows, assuming variable block dimensions
Venue: Computing (2001)

The popular sequential Thomas algorithm for the numerical solution of tridiagonal linear algebraic equation systems is extended on a class of quasi-block-tridiagonal equation systems arising from finite-difference discretisations of boundary value and initial boundary value problems of reaction-migration-advection-diffusion type in one space dimension, occuring in electrochemistry. The extension allows for a simultaneous consideration of: (a) multiple space intervals with common boundaries; (b) additional algebraic or differential-algebraic equations coupled with mixed boundary conditions, that may express e.g. adsorption at the boundaries; (c) three-point finite-difference approximations to the gradients of the solutions of the initial/boundary value problems at the boundaries; (d) periodic or non-periodic boundary conditions at the external boundaries. The resulting equation matrix may include nonzero off-diagonal corner blocks associated with periodic boundary conditions, may be locally block-pentadiagonal at a number of isolated rows corresponding to internal spatial boundaries, and its blocks may have variable dimensions. Testing calculations are performed.

Multimedia document engineering in MCF
Authors: Peter King, Jocelyne Nanard, Marc Nanard
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Document engineering (2002)

This article demonstrates how several of the general-purpose principles which have proved successful in the area of large-scale software development and maintenance are relevant to multimedia design. We present the Media Construction Formalism, MCF, whose high level concepts encompass the principles of abstraction, modularity, encapsulation, and reuse, which facilitate formal specification during the initial steps of multimedia document engineering. MCF has been implemented as a user-friendly design environment, which includes a special-purpose structured editor providing a visual representation of partial designs. The MCF system promotes the capture of constructs which may emerge during a design, and which can be manipulated by the multimedia designer and executed by the machine at different levels of granularity and detail. MCF uses the metaphor of roles, players and actors to provide generic design descriptions of multimedia scenarios, and encompasses a powerful temporal and reactive model.
