Recently, the reverse engineering research community has been investigating mechanisms for exchanging data and partial results between reverse engineering tools [10, 7]. Among the many subproblems inherent in implementing a standard exchange format (SEF) is the design of schemas that represent views of source code at various levels of abstraction. In this paper, we briefly discuss some of the i...

We investigate the dynamics of a single component fluid bilayer, which exchanges material with the surrounding fluid. We derive covariant equations of motion taking into account solvent permeation, exchange of lipids between solvent and the membrane and discuss the sources of noise in these equations. Different lipid concentrations on both sides of the membrane lead to a non-equilibrium state. ...

Sharing information between organizations is important to defend the vital infrastructure against digital threats. However, concerns regarding privacy and confidentiality of information makes organizations reluctant to share such information. In practice the information is only shared with highly trusted partners. Lowering the trust required to share information can encourage new collaborations...

Let In(π) denote the number of involutions in the symmetric group Sn which avoid the permutation π. We say that two permutations α, β ∈ Sj may be exchanged if for every k and ordering τ of j + 1, . . . , k, we have In(ατ) = In(βτ) for every n. Here we prove that 12 and 21 may be exchanged and that 123 and 321 may be exchanged. The first of these theorems gives a number of known results for patt...

In this paper EPML is presented as an interchange format for EPC business process models. EPML builds on EPC syntax related work and is designed to be applicable as a serialisation format for EPC modelling tools. After a description of EPML in the large, examples are given to illustrate selected representational aspects including flat and hierarchical EPCs, business views, and graphical informa...

The GXL Graph eXchange Language is an XML-based standard exchange language for sharing graph data between tools. GXL can be customized to exchange application specific types of graphs. This is done by exchanging both, the instance graph, representing the data itself, and the schema, representing the graph structure. Business process models are usually depicted in a graph-like form. This paper d...

Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) provides a systematic approach for user communities to model and exchange data on specific types of products and manufacturing technologies. With the increasing popularity of the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) on the Internet, mapping STEP data into XML seems a logical way to make STEP data more accessible through the Internet. On the ot...

One of the most important features of “intelligent behaviour” is the ability to learn from experience. The introduction of Multiagent Systems brings new challenges to the research in Machine Learning. New difficulties, but also new advantages, appear when learning takes place in an environment in which agents can communicate and cooperate. The main question that drives this work is “How can age...

We propose a lightweight framework for data exchange that is suitable for non-expert and casual users sharing data on the Web and/or through peer-to-peer systems. Unlike previous work, we consider a minimalistic data model and schema formalism that are suitable for describing online data and propose algorithms for mapping such schemas as well as for translating the corresponding instances. Also...
