Ubiquitous Security: Privacy versus Protection

by Timothy K. Buennemeyer, Randolph C. Marchany, Joseph G. Tront
"... Abstract- In the ambient computing future, security promises to be the foundational design feature that allows pervasive systems to protect personal information privacy. As fledgling pervasive computing systems gain a foothold presence in becoming more flexible and, at the same time, more invisibly ..."

interconnected, system users may have to trade privacy and protection to gain full entry into this new information-laden environment. This paper examines the current state-of-the-shelf security components, which predominantly overlay wired and wireless networks that will support next generation pervasive systems

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. Both resources and data are often distributed in a wide-area network with components administered locally and independently. Computations may involve ..."

Principled design of the modern web architecture

by Roy T. Fielding, Richard N. Taylor - ACM Trans. Internet Techn
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The modern Web architecture emphasizes scalability of component interactions, generality of interfaces, independent deployment of c ..."

In this paper, we introduce the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style, developed as an abstract model of the Web architecture to guide our redesign and definition

"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

write CS(t) = CS(V t , r t , {X t }), where V is firm value, r is the spot rate, and {X t } represents all of the other "state variables" needed to specify the model. 6 Since credit spreads are uniquely determined given the current values of the state variables, it follows that credit spread

Learning from imbalanced data

by Haibo He, Edwardo A. Garcia - IEEE Trans. on Knowledge and Data Engineering , 2009
"... Abstract—With the continuous expansion of data availability in many large-scale, complex, and networked systems, such as surveillance, security, Internet, and finance, it becomes critical to advance the fundamental understanding of knowledge discovery and analysis from raw data to support decision-m ..."

Furthermore, in order to stimulate future research in this field, we also highlight the major opportunities and challenges, as well as potential

Security

by Mateusz Ksawery Malinowski, Joseph A. Paradiso, Arthur C. Smith, Mateusz Ksawery Malinowski , 2007
"... This thesis describes the development of a system of sensate active RFID tags for supplychain management and security applications, necessitated by the current lack of commercial platforms capable of monitoring the state of shipments at the crate and case level. To make a practical prototype, off-th ..."

A Survey on Web Services Composition

by Schahram Dustdar, Wolfgang Schreiner - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON WEB AND GRID SERVICES , 2005
"... Due to the web services’ heterogeneous nature, which stems from the definition of several XML-based standards to overcome platform and language dependence, web services have become an emerging and promising technology to design and build complex inter-enterprise business applications out of single w ..."

It also presents several different composition strategies, based on some currently existing composition platforms and frameworks, re-presenting first implementations of state-of the-art technologies, and gives an outlook to essential future research work.

The Internet Worm Program: An Analysis

by Eugene H. Spafford - COMPUTER COMMUNICATION REVIEW , 1989
"... On the evening of 2 November 1988, someone infected the Internet with a worm program. That program exploited flaws in utility programs in systems based on BSD-derived versions of UNIX. The flaws allowed the program to break into those machines and copy itself, thus infecting those systems. This prog ..."

Almost no source code is given in the paper because of current concerns about the state of the ‘‘immune system’’ of Internet hosts, but the description should be detailed enough to allow the reader to understand the behavior of the program

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,

by Wolfram Schultz - Annu. Rev. Psychol. , 2006
"... ■ Abstract The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems. Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."
