An implementation technique for data base management systems
Authors: James R. Driscoll
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th annual Southeast regional conference (1978)

A relationship is a correspondence between the members of two sets of data values. In order to physically represent a relationship we must indicate the existence of connections between member occurrences of the two sets involved. The collection of connections is said to specify a link between the two sets. The purpose of this paper is to precisely describe the distinct forms of a link. It is shown that there are three forms; each form capturing distinct physical characteristics. The three forms precisely define what is meant by 1:1, 1:N and N:M links.
The Internet with Windows: A Practical Companion
Authors: Glyn Moody
Venue:  (1995)

:Most people know that the Internet is a huge network of computers that spans the globe and offers unparalleled information resources which are freely available to everyone. But most people also believe that using the Internet is impossibly complicated and requires advanced tools and a completely different way of working. The Internet with Windows shows you how a new generation of Microsoft Windows software - mostly free or very low-cost - lets you access the full power of the Internet through easy-to-use techniques you already know from other Windows programs. It can be read and used by both Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 users, and the vast bulk of it is applicable to other operating systems as well. In particular, it will be invaluable to those accessing the Internet via CompuServe or the Microsoft Network. This book assumes no previous expertise apart from some basic familiarity with Windows programs. Because the emphasis is on software that shields users from the technicalities of the subject, very little in the way of new skills needs to be learnt. Successive chapters build to form a complete introduction to all aspects of using the Internet, including elements generally omitted from other books.

Supporting software maintenance evolution processes in the Adele system
Authors: Noureddine Belkhatir, Walcélio L. Melo
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

One of the major problems encountered when developing large systems is related to maintaining an operational and responsive software system, once it has been accepted and put into production. This problem is referred to as Software maintenance. Evolution is central to Software Maintenance, responsible for ensuring a longer working life. Many Software Engineering Environments (SEEs) have been constructed in order to support maintenance activities. In this paper, we will first present major development in SEEs to support Maintenance. Afterwards, we will describe the main ideas behind the design and implementation of the ADELE system, a third generation SEE. Following this, we will give an example to illustrate the way a process model can be described on top of ADELE using an example of evolution maintenance. This approach is heavily based on event-condition-action formalism. We will illustrate the way in which communication and coordination of the activities carried out by different users are automated.

Data security
Authors: David Alan Hanson
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual Southeast regional conference (1979)

The need for computer security has grown every year since the creation of computer systems, but yet with such a high demand, there are many systems that are, by no means, adecuetly protected.This paper will discuss the three classes of vulnerabilities of security. The three classes are: those that threaten the physical integrity of the computer installation and its data, those that threaten the loss or compromise of the data from outside the computersite, and those that threaten loss or compromise of data from inside the computer site.The chief physical risk to a computer site is fire, acts of sabotage, industrial accidents, natural disasters, and mechanical or electrial malfunction of the computer system. Outside threats are those people who do not work for a particular firm, but yet wish to gain information about it that is not readily accessible to them. Inside threats come from employees who wish to compromise the computer system weither for gain, accident, or past time. Each one of these topics will be dealt withThe next part of the paper deals with the subject of setting up a security program. The first step in this subject is the study to access the probability of an event occuring, and determining it as either fatal to the business, very serious, moderately serious, relatively unimportant, or seriousness unknown. Some of the security techniques of checks and tests on the system are then discused. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

An efficient security verification method for programs with stack inspection
Authors: Naoya Nitta, Yoshiaki Takata, Hiroyuki Seki
Venue: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Computer and Communications Security (2001)

Stack inspection is a key technology for runtime access control of programs in a network environment. In this paper, a verification problem to decide whether a given program with stack inspection satisfies a given security property is discussed. First, the computational complexity of the problem is investigated. Since the result implies the problem is computationally intractable in general, we introduce a practically important subclass of programs which exactly model programs containing check Permission of Java development kit 1.2. We show that the problem for this subclass is solvable in linear time in the size of a program.

Distributed Data Warehousing Using Web Technology: How to Build a More Cost-Effective and Flexible Warehouse
Authors: R. A. Moeller
Venue:  (2000)

:How to transform raw data into knowledgeand empower businesses with a significant competitive edge! What is a "data warehouse?" It's a database that's structured to support business decision making. A data warehouse organizes, analyzes, and synthesizes huge amounts of raw dataso that it's intelligible and useful to employees. Until recently, all that data would be stored in centralized, monolithic storage media. It was cumbersome to manage, slow to operate, and expensive to maintain. Internet technology has changed all that forever! In this insightful book, managers and information technology professionals get a clear-eyed overview of what's required to set up and use distributed data warehouseswhich utilize multiple computers (networked together via Internet technology) to store and access data as needed. The book takes a look at: Basic functions and benefits of a distributed data warehouse and what's required to set one up Many of the complex technical issues involved, such as placement of functions and data, web-enabled computing technologies, object technologies, and more The full spectrum of what a data warehouse can deliverand how to exploit it How to present and justify a business case for creating a data warehouse

Using statistical and contextual information to identify two-and three-character words in Chinese text
Authors: Christopher S.G. Khoo, Teck Ee Loh
Venue: Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (2002)

Khoo, Dai, and Loh examine new statistical methods for the identification of two and three character words in Chinese text. Some meaningful Chinese words are simple (independent units of one or more characters in a sentence that have independent meaning) but others are compounds of two or more simple words. In their segmentation they utilize theModern Chinese Word Segmentation for Application of Information Processing, with some modifications to focus on meaningful words to do manual segmentation. About 37% of meaningful words are longer than 2 characters indicating a need to handle three and four character words. Four hundred sentences from news articles were manually broken into overlapping bi-grams and tri-grams. Using logistic regression, the log of the odds that such bi/tri-grams were meaningful words was calculated. Variables like relative frequency, document frequency, local frequency, and contextual and positional information, were incorporated in the model only if the concordance measure improved by at least 2% with their addition. For two- and three-character words relative frequency of adjacent characters and document frequency of overlapping bi-grams were found to be significant. Using measures of recall and precision where correct automatic segmentation is normalized either by manual segmentation or by automatic segmentation, thecontextual information formula for 2 character words provides significantly better results than previous formulations and using both the 2 and 3 character formulations in combination significantly improves the 2 character results.
A Recursive Introduction to the Theory of Computation, 1st edition
Authors: Carl Smith
Venue:  (1994)

:The aim of this textbook is to present an account of the theory of computation. After introducing the concept of a model of computation and presenting various examples, the author explores the limitations of effective computation via basic recursion theory. Self-reference and other methods are introduced as fundamental and basic tools for constructing and manipulating algorithms. From there the book considers the complexity of computations and the notion of a complexity measure is introduced. Finally, the book culminates in considering time and space measures and in classifying computable functions as being either feasible or not.

Aspects and implementation of a memory model
Authors: Kevin D. Reilly
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

A number of proposals have been made concerning the modeling of memory systems, human and artificial. A recent model primarily designed to model human memory is the HAM system (see Anderson, J. and G. Bower. Human Associative Memory. Washington, D.C.: Winston & Sons, 1973). Anderson and Bower's book provides background on associative memory, outlines "theoretical HAM," overviews an initial implementation of the theoretical model, and applies the model to make both quantitative and qualitative predictions.This paper first briefly overviews the HAM system, its uses and implementation history. An abbreviated tour of some of the processing that is done in our implementation of a slight variant of the original HAM system is provided. A data structuring view of the program is given in a series of figures, and the heart of one of the central algorithms is sketched. The final section of the paper is addressed to other selected aspects of the program and its qualitative uses in behavioral research.
