Building a Large Annotated Corpus of English: The Penn Treebank

by Mitchell P. Marcus, Beatrice Santorini, Mary Ann Marcinkiewicz - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1993
"... There is a growing consensus that significant, rapid progress can be made in both text understanding and spoken language understanding by investigating those phenomena that occur most centrally in naturally occurring unconstrained materials and by attempting to automatically extract information abou ..."

User Experience Building Blocks

by Virpi Roto
"... Many books and publications have been written about user experience, but it still lacks a commonly agreed definition. The definition together with understanding of user experience building blocks would help in designing for good experiences and in evaluating user experience of a product. Based on th ..."

The SWISS-MODEL Workspace: A web-based environment for protein structure homology modelling

by Konstantin Arnold, Lorenza Bordoli, Torsten Schwede, et al. - BIOINFORMATICS , 2005
"... Motivation: Homology models of proteins are of great interest for planning and analyzing biological experiments when no experimental three-dimensional structures are available. Building homology models requires specialized programs and up-to-date sequence and structural databases. Integrating all re ..."

The Cricket Location-Support System

by Nissanka B. Priyantha, Anit Chakraborty, Hari Balakrishnan , 2000
"... This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of Cricket, a location-support system for in-building, mobile, locationdependent applications. It allows applications running on mobile and static nodes to learn their physical location by using listeners that hear and analyze informatio ..."

Ant Colony System: A cooperative learning approach to the traveling salesman problem

by Marco Dorigo, Luca Maria Gambardella - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION , 1997
"... This paper introduces the ant colony system (ACS), a distributed algorithm that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the ACS, a set of cooperating agents called ants cooperate to find good solutions to TSP’s. Ants cooperate using an indirect form of communication mediated by a pher ..."

pheromone they deposit on the edges of the TSP graph while building solutions. We study the ACS by running experiments to understand its operation. The results show that the ACS outperforms other nature-inspired algorithms such as simulated annealing and evolutionary computation, and we conclude comparing

A Sense of Self for Unix Processes

by Stephanie Forrest, Steven A. Hofmeyr, Anil Somayaji, Thomas A. Longstaff - In Proceedings of the 1996 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy , 1996
"... A method for anomaly detection is introduced in which "normal" is defined by short-range correlations in a process ' system calls. Initial experiments suggest that the definition is stable during normal behavior for standard UNIX programs. Further, it is able to detect several common ..."

OpenFlow: Enabling Innovation in Campus Networks

by Nick McKeown , Tom Anderson, Hari Balakrishnan, Guru Parulkar, Larry Peterson, Jennifer Rexford, Scott Shenker, Jonathan Turner , 2008
"... This whitepaper proposes OpenFlow: a way for researchers to run experimental protocols in the networks they use every day. OpenFlow is based on an Ethernet switch, with an internal flow-table, and a standardized interface to add and remove flow entries. Our goal is to encourage networking vendors ..."

to add OpenFlow to their switch products for deployment in college campus backbones and wiring closets. We believe that OpenFlow is a pragmatic compromise: on one hand, it allows researchers to run experiments on heterogeneous switches in a uniform way at line-rate and with high port-density; while

Model Checking Programs

by Willem Visser, Klaus Havelund, GUILLAUME BRAT, SEUNGJOON PARK, FLAVIO LERDA , 2003
"... The majority of work carried out in the formal methods community throughout the last three decades has (for good reasons) been devoted to special languages designed to make it easier to experiment with mechanized formal methods such as theorem provers, proof checkers and model checkers. In this pape ..."

Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."
