This paper focuses on semantic role labeling using automatically-generated syntactic information. A simple and robust strategy for system combination is presented, which allows to partially recover from input parsing errors and to significantly boost results of individual systems. This combination scheme is also very flexible since the individual systems are not required to provide any informat...

A nurse who claims her 'excessive pillow plumping' led to an unfair police record has won a landmark court ruling.

Role based access control (RBAC) is attracting increasing attention as a security mechanism for both commercial and many military systems. Much of RBAC is fundamentally diierent from multi-level security (MLS) systems, and the properties of RBAC systems have not been explored formally to the extent that MLS system properties have. This paper explores some aspects of mutual exclusion of roles as...

Due to the correspondence between the role abstraction in Role-based Access Control (RBAC) and the notion of organizational positions, it seems easy to construct role hierarchies. This is, however, a misconception. This paper argues that, in order to reflect the functional requirements, a role hierarchy becomes very complex. In a bid to simplify the design of role hierarchies suitable for the e...
