The Ponder Policy Specification Language

by Nicodemos Damianou , Naranker Dulay , Emil Lupu , Morris Sloman - LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE , 2001
"... The Ponder language provides a common means of specifying security policies that map onto various access control implementation mechanisms for firewalls, operating systems, databases and Java. It supports obligation policies that are event triggered conditionaction rules for policy based management ..."

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 ..."

Stock Market Prices Do Not Follow Random Walks: Evidence from a Simple Specification Test

by Andrew W. Lo, A. Craig MacKinlay - REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STUDIES , 1988
"... In this article we test the random walk hypothesis for weekly stock market returns by comparing variance estimators derived from data sampled at different frequencies. The random walk model is strongly rejected for the entire sample period (1962--1985) and for all subperiod for a variety of aggrega ..."

Computing semantic relatedness using Wikipedia-based explicit semantic analysis

by Evgeniy Gabrilovich, Shaul Markovitch - In Proceedings of the 20th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence , 2007
"... Computing semantic relatedness of natural language texts requires access to vast amounts of common-sense and domain-specific world knowledge. We propose Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA), a novel method that represents the meaning of texts in a high-dimensional space of concepts derived from Wikipedi ..."

A model for technical inefficiency effects in a stochastic frontier production function for panel data

by G. E. Battese - Empirical Economics , 1995
"... Abstract: A stochastic frontier production function is defined for panel data on firms, in which the non-negative technical inetGciency effects are assumed to be a function of firm-specific variables and time. The inefficiency effects are assumed to be independently distributed as truncations of nor ..."

The design and implementation of FFTW3

by Matteo Frigo, Steven G. Johnson - PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE , 2005
"... FFTW is an implementation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) that adapts to the hardware in order to maximize performance. This paper shows that such an approach can yield an implementation that is competitive with hand-optimized libraries, and describes the software structure that makes our cu ..."

current FFTW3 version flexible and adaptive. We further discuss a new algorithm for real-data DFTs of prime size, a new way of implementing DFTs by means of machine-specific single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) instructions, and how a special-purpose compiler can derive optimized implementations

Working Knowledge

by Thomas Davenport, Laurence Prusak, Gary Wills, Harith Alani, Ronald Ashri, Richard Crowder, Yannis Kalfoglou, Sanghee Kim , 1998
"... While knowledge is viewed by many as an asset, it is often difficult to locate particular items within a large electronic corpus. This paper presents an agent based framework for the location of resources to resolve a specific query, and considers the associated design issue. Aspects of the work ..."

Cognitive load during problem solving: effects on learning

by John Sweller - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1988
"... Considerable evidence indicates that domain specific knowledge in the form of schemes is the primary factor distinguishing experts from novices in problem-solving skill. Evidence that conventional problem-solving activity is not effective in schema acquisition is also accumulating. It is suggested t ..."

Bayesian Analysis of Stochastic Volatility Models

by Eric Jacquier, Nicholas G. Polson, Peter E. Rossi , 1994
"... this article is to develop new methods for inference and prediction in a simple class of stochastic volatility models in which logarithm of conditional volatility follows an autoregressive (AR) times series model. Unlike the autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) and gener- alized ARCH ..."
Abstract - Cited by 601 (26 self) - Add to MetaCart
ARCH (GARCH) models [see Bollerslev, Chou, and Kroner (1992) for a survey of ARCH modeling], both the mean and log-volatility equations have separate error terms. The ease of evaluating the ARCH likelihood function and the ability of the ARCH specification to accommodate the timevarying volatility

On agent-based software engineering

"... Agent-oriented techniques represent an exciting new means of analysing, designing and building complex software systems. They have the potential to significantly improve current practice in software engineering and to extend the range of applications that can feasibly be tackled. Yet, to date, there ..."
