Legacy interface migration is becoming an increasingly important IT activity; many organizations are interested in cost effective and low risk processes for making their legacy systems accessible to new, webbased platforms. Most migration techniques proposed to date require a lot of human expertise. In this paper we discuss Mathaino, an intelligent, multi platform, semi-automated, and low risk ...

This paper studies new properties of the front and back ends of a sorting network, and illustrates the utility of these in the search for new bounds on optimal sorting networks. Search focuses first on the “outsides” of the network and then on the inner part. All previous works focus only on properties of the front end of networks and on how to apply these to break symmetries in the search. The...

Liouville field theory on a unoriented surface is investigated, in particular, the one point function on a RP2 is calculated. The constraint of the one point function is obtained by using the crossing symmetry of the two point function. There are many solutions of the constraint and we can choose one of them by considering the modular bootstrap. ∗ E-mail: [email protected]

Compressors based on the Burrows Wheeler transform (BWT) convert the transformed text into a string of (move-to-front) ranks. These ranks are then encoded with an Ordermodel, or a hierarchy of such models. Although these rank-based methods perform very well, we believe the transformation to MTF numbers blurs the distinction between individual symbols and is a possible cause of inefficiency. Ins...

We investigate the unsupervised detection of semi-fixed cue phrases such as “This paper proposes a novel approach. . . 1” from unseen text, on the basis of only a handful of seed cue phrases with the desired semantics. The problem, in contrast to bootstrapping approaches for Question Answering and Information Extraction, is that it is hard to find a constraining context for occurrences of semi-...

Clinicians could model the brain injury of a patient through his brain activity. However, how this model is defined and how it changes when the patient is recovering are questions yet unanswered. In this paper, the use of MedVir framework is proposed with the aim of answering these questions. Based on complex data mining techniques, this provides not only the differentiation between TBI patient...

The difficulty of emergence is not the complexity but the recursivity of its working. That is why there are so many debates to know whether structure generates strategy or strategy generates structure. In fact all we know is that networking allows conversations and that conversations help creating structure, that is a system embedding procedures and technologies; in other words, the network is ...

Appraisals of Russian military performance during the armed conflict with Georgia in August 2008 noted, among other deficiencies, poor performance in Information Warfare (IW). This led to calls in informed commentary for the creation of dedicated “Information Troops” within the Russian armed forces, whose duties would include what we would define as cyber operations. This stemmed from a percept...

Electronic identity (eID) cards are deployed in an increasing number of countries. These cards often provide digital authentication and digital signature capabilities, but have at the same time serious privacy shortcomings. We can expect that ordering and issuing tickets for events (e.g. soccer matches) will be increasingly done using eID cards, hence, severely threatening the user’s privacy. T...
