Affinity propagation for faster computing: Canadian computer scientists have developed a new algorithm named affinity propagation which can considerably speed up IT systems. One of the researchers said that affinity propagation works by considering all possible interpretations of the data at once. This new algorithm is based on pairing up pieces of data instead of...; Tags: Computers &, Internet; Blog posts 2007-03-05
Collaboration and Multimedia Authoring on Mobile Devices: This paper introduces adaptation-aware editing and progressive update propagation, two novel mechanisms that enable authoring multimedia content and collaborative work on mobile devices. Adaptation-aware editing enables editing content that was adapted to reduce download time to the mobile device. Progressive update propagation reduces the time for propagating content generated at...; Tags: Multimedia, Collaboration, Mobile, Propagation, Mobile Device, Update Propagation, Advertising & Promotion, Marketing; White papers 2007-01-01
User Identity propagation in Web Service Implementation: Implementation of Web services requires multiple levels of security, including communications security, secure access to the Web service endpoint, and identity propagation between service consumer and implementation. In this paper, one focuses on user identity propagation. One also learns about the role of identity propagation in the overall Web services...; Tags: Web, Propagation, Web Service, User Identity, Identity Propagation, Channel Management, Web Services, Security, Marketing, Enterprise Software, Software; White papers 2006-11-14
Complete Convergence of Message Passing Algorithms for Some Satisfiability Problems: This paper makes a modest step towards providing rigorous analysis that proves the effectiveness of message passing algorithms for random 3SAT. This paper analyzes the performance of Warning Propagation, a popular message passing algorithm that is simpler than survey propagation. This paper shows that for 3CNF formulas generated under the...; Tags: Message, Algorithm, Propagation, Convergence, Engineering, VOIP, Telecommunications, Networking; White papers 2006-04-01
A Study of Relevance propagation for Web Search: Different from traditional information retrieval, both content and structure are critical to the success of Web information retrieval. In recent years, many relevance propagation techniques have been proposed to propagate content information between web pages through web structure to improve the performance of web search. This paper proposes a generic...; Tags: Web, Propagation, Internet Search, Association For Computing Machinery, Information Retrieval, Channel Management, Marketing; White papers 2005-08-19

A Study of Bluetooth propagation Using Accurate Indoor Location Mapping: The ubiquitous computing community has widely researched the use of 802.11 for the purpose of location inference. Meanwhile, Bluetooth is increasingly widely deployed due to its low power consumption and cost. This paper describes a study of Bluetooth radio propagation using an accurate indoor location system to conduct fine-grained signal...; Tags: Propagation, Ubiquitous Computing, Springer Science+Business Media, Ubiquitous Computing Community, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wireless; White papers 2005-07-19
Biological Models of Security for Virus propagation in Computer Networks: This paper discusses the similarity between propagation of pathogens viruses and worms on computer networks with proliferation of pathogens in cellular organisms organisms with genetic material contained within a membrane encased nucleus. It introduces several biological mechanisms that are used in these organisms to protect against such pathogens and presents...; Tags: Computer Network, Network, Propagation, Albany, Virus, Computer, Productivity, Cyberthreats, Networking, Security, Viruses And Worms; White papers 2005-04-02
Spatial-Temporal Modeling of Malware propagation in Networks: Network security is an important task of network management. One threat to network security is malware malicious software propagation. One type of malware is called topological scanning that spreads based on topology information. The focus of this paper is on modeling the spread of topological malwares, which is important for...; Tags: Network, Propagation, Network Security, Malware, Spyware, Adware & Malware, Cyberthreats, Viruses And Worms, Security, Networking; White papers
