Requirements for Internet Hosts - Communication Layers

by R. Braden - RFC1812] [RFC2277] Baker, F., "Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers", RFC 1812 , 1989
"... This RFC is an official specification for the Internet community. It incorporates by reference, amends, corrects, and supplements the primary protocol standards documents relating to hosts. Distribution of this document is unlimited. Summary This is one RFC of a pair that defines and discusses the r ..."

the requirements for Internet host software. This RFC covers the communications protocol layers: link layer, IP layer, and transport layer; its companion RFC-1123 covers the application and support protocols.

The Anatomy of a Context-Aware Application

by Andy Harter, Andy Hopper, Pete Steggles, Andy Ward, Paul Webster - WIRELESS NETWORKS, VOL , 1999
"... We describe a platform for context-aware computing which enables applications to follow mobile users as they move around a building. The platform is particularly suitable for richly equipped, networked environments. The only item a user is required to carry is a small sensor tag, which identifies th ..."

Training Support Vector Machines: an Application to Face Detection

by Edgar Osuna, Robert Freund, Federico Girosi , 1997
"... We investigate the application of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) in computer vision. SVM is a learning technique developed by V. Vapnik and his team (AT&T Bell Labs.) that can be seen as a new method for training polynomial, neural network, or Radial Basis Functions classifiers. The decision sur ..."

Distance metric learning, with application to clustering with sideinformation,”

by Eric P Xing , Andrew Y Ng , Michael I Jordan , Stuart Russell - in Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 15, , 2002
"... Abstract Many algorithms rely critically on being given a good metric over their inputs. For instance, data can often be clustered in many "plausible" ways, and if a clustering algorithm such as K-means initially fails to find one that is meaningful to a user, the only recourse may be for ..."

be for the user to manually tweak the input space's metric until sufficiently good clusters are found. For these and other applications requiring good metrics, it is desirable that we provide a more systematic way for users to indicate what they consider "similar." For instance, we may ask them

A statistical interpretation of term specificity and its application in retrieval

by Karen Spärck Jones - Journal of Documentation , 1972
"... Abstract: The exhaustivity of document descriptions and the specificity of index terms are usually regarded as independent. It is suggested that specificity should be interpreted statistically, as a function of term use rather than of term meaning. The effects on retrieval of variations in term spec ..."

specificity are examined, experiments with three test collections showing, in particular, that frequently-occurring terms are required for good overall performance. It is argued that terms should be weighted according to collection frequency, so that matches on less frequent, more specific, terms

Orthogonal matching pursuit: Recursive function approximation with applications to wavelet decomposition

by Y. C. Pati, R. Rezaiifar, P. S. Krishnaprasad - in Conference Record of The Twenty-Seventh Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers , 1993
"... In this paper we describe a recursive algorithm to compute representations of functions with respect to nonorthogonal and possibly overcomplete dictionaries of elementary building blocks e.g. aiEne (wa.velet) frames. We propoeea modification to the Matching Pursuit algorithm of Mallat and Zhang (199 ..."

(1992) that maintains full backward orthogonality of the residual (error) at every step and thereby leads to improved convergence. We refer to this modified algorithm as Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP). It is shown that all additional computation required for the OMP al gorithm may be performed

A Conceptual Framework and a Toolkit for Supporting the Rapid Prototyping of Context-Aware Applications

by Anind K. Dey, Gregory D. Abowd, Daniel Salber , 2001
"... Computing devices and applications are now used beyond the desktop, in diverse environments, and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating. One challenge that remains in this emerging research field is the ability to enhance the behavior of any application by informing it of the context ..."

-aware applications. In this paper, we address these three problems in turn. We first define context, identify categories of contextual information, and characterize context-aware application behavior. Though the full impact of context-aware computing requires understanding very subtle and high-level notions

Globus: A Metacomputing Infrastructure Toolkit

"... Emerging high-performance applications require the ability to exploit diverse, geographically distributed resources. These applications use high-speed networks to integrate supercomputers, large databases, archival storage devices, advanced visualization devices, and/or scientific instruments to for ..."

Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems

by Paul C. Kocher , 1996
"... By carefully measuring the amount of time required to perform private key operations, attackers may be able to find fixed Diffie-Hellman exponents, factor RSA keys, and break other cryptosystems. Against a vulnerable system, the attack is computationally inexpensive and often requires only known cip ..."

A Security Architecture for Computational Grids

by Ian Foster , Carl Kesselman, Gene Tsudik, Steven Tuecke , 1998
"... State-of-the-art and emerging scientific applications require fast access to large quantities of data and commensurately fast computational resources.
