The Norwegian banking industry has introduced a new security infrastructure for web applications, including Internet banking. The infrastructure, called BankID, has the potential to increase the security of today’s web applications and facilitate new business opportunities. The authors consider BankID from the customers’ point of view, analyze the risk the customers take when using BankID, and ...

ABSTARCT 5G Technology stands for fifth Generation Mobile technology. From generation 1G to 2.5G and from 3G to 5G this world of telecommunication has seen a number of improvements along with improved performance with every passing day. This paper also focuses on all preceding generations of mobile communication along with fifth generation technology. The search for new technology is always the...

There has been a recent explosion in applications for dialogue interaction ranging from direction-giving and tourist information to interactive story systems. Yet the natural language generation (NLG) component for many of these systems remains largely handcrafted. This limitation greatly restricts the range of applications; it also means that it is impossible to take advantage of recent work i...

We have more and more educational topics around the Internet. This workshop mainly focuses them on educational challenges to deploy the current Internet environment and the next generation IP networks. Some may be on how to share technical knowledge and experiences with the regions where the Internet environments are insufficiently developed or the other may be on advanced trials using ubiquito...

Grice’s maxims of conversation [Grice 1975] are framed as directives to be followed by a speaker of the language. This paper argues that, when considered from the point of view of natural language generation, such a characterisation is rather misleading, and that the desired behaviour falls out quite naturally if we view language generation as a goal-oriented process. We argue this position wit...

With motivation from algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and stringtheory, we study various topics in differential homological algebra. The work is dividedinto five largely independent Parts:I Definitions and examples of operads and their actionsII Partial algebraic structures and conversion theoremsIII Derived categories from a topological point of viewIV Rational d...

In the field of graph signal processing, defining translation operators is crucial to allow certain tasks, including moving a filter to a specific location or tracking objects. In order to successfully generalize translation-based tools existing in the time domain, graph based translations should offer multiple properties: a) the translation of a localized kernel should be localized, b) in regu...

We use an empirical study based on simple Monte Carlo integrations to exhibit the well known long-range correlations between linear congruential random numbers. In contrast to former studies, our long-range correlation test is carried out to asses more than only two parallel streams. The results show that critical distances derived from earlier papers have to be updated. In addition we performe...

Nowadays, congestion management is one of the major tasks accomplished by system operators to warrant the operation of transmission system within operating limits. This has resulted in unanticipated congestion interfaces in regional transmission systems. The system is, however, unable to evolve at a rate which is required to meet the quickly changing demand of competitive markets. To make the m...
