This paper describes our experiences researching privacy of incidental information using a mixed methodology approach. An on-line survey examined privacy concerns related to the incidental viewing of traces of previous web browsing activity. Topics examined include the scope of the privacy issues in this domain; how browsing behaviours affect the content that may be visible; and the role of con...

In this paper we present a new approach to generate a mixed mesh with elements aligned to boundary/interfaces wherever is required. A valid element is: (a) any convex co-spherical element that fulfills the requirements of the underlying numerical method and (b) any element that satisfies domain specific geometric features of the model. The algorithm is based on the normal offsetting approach to...

Last chapter motivated the quest for effective solutions to software evolution beyond conventional techniques. Among many problems complicating evolution of programs, two are particularly acute, namely poor visibility of changes, and explosion of look-a-like component versions caused by weak generic design capabilities of conventional techniques. If similarities and differences among past relea...

Text passwords have been widely used for user authentication, e.g., by almost all websites on the Internet. However, it is well-known that text passwords are insecure for a variety of reasons. For example, users tend to choose simple passwords which can be remembered easily. in favour of memorability, making them subject to dictionary attacks; and text passwords can be stolen by malicious softw...

Mixed-Initiative approaches to Planning and Scheduling are being applied in different real world domains. While several recent successful examples of such tools encourage a wider use of this solving paradigm, research in mixed-initiative interaction is still at an early stage and many important issues need to be addressed. In particular, most of the work has been dedicated to designing working ...

In this paper we introduce a new method for the synthesis of Spanish prosody suitable for the automatic generation of prosody in a Text-to-Speech system. As some methods we have already proposed our approach is data-based, it models joint F0 contour and segmental durations and its linguistic analysis is rule-based. Unlike previous works it uses a mixture of a priori breath group classi cation (...

This paper describes how one research team uses a variety of qualitative, cultural anthropological research techniques and qualitative survey research techniques to better understand the characteristics of young people who drink and do not drink alcohol. The team used qualitative methods of cultural anthropology for initial small-group studies of three mental constructs known to predict behavio...

This paper describes the participation of a mixed approach in GeoCLEF-2006. We have participated in Monolingual English Task and we present a joint work of three groups or teams belonging to project R2D2 1 with a new system, mixing the 3 individual systems of the teams.
