10. NEW PARADIGMS FOR DISCOVERY

Paradigms for Resource Discovery

Incremental Paradigms of Motif Discovery

We examine the problem of extracting maximal irredundant motifs from a string. A combinatorial argument poses a linear bound on the total number of such motifs, thereby opening the way to the quest for the fastest and most efficient methods of extraction. The basic paradigm explored here is that of iterated updates of the set of irredundant motifs in a string under consecutive unit symbol exten...

New paradigms for treatment development.

Wayne Fenton believed that government-particularly National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-could play a critical role in addressing important public health problems where the current system of treatment development was inadequate. Earlier experiences in HIV/AIDS convinced him and others that the NIMH can effectively facilitate the rapid development of new research in critical areas. This rep...

New Paradigms for Password Security

For the past several decades, cryptographers have consistently provided us with stronger and more capable primitives and protocols that have found many applications in security systems in everyday life. One of the central tenets of cryptographic design is that, whereas a system's architecture ought to be public and open to scrutiny, the keys on which it depends -long, utterly random, unique str...

New Paradigms for Distributed Programming

The explosive growth of telecommunication networks is presenting distributed computing with new challenges. Distributed computing in-the-small as represented by LANs and small configurations of trusted machines cooperating towards a common goal have yielded to massively distributed computing systems where millions of untrusted computers running heterogeneous operating systems on top of varying ...
