- Revealing Hidden Context: Improving Mental Models of Personal Firewall Users
- The Windows Vista personal firewall provides its diverse users with a basic interface that hides many operational details. However, concealing the impact of network context on the security state of the firewall may result in users developing an incorrect mental model of the protection provided by the firewall. The paper...

- Optimized Compressed Sensing for Curvelet-Based Seismic Data Reconstruction
- Compressed Sensing CS or compressive sampling provides a new sampling theory to reduce data acquisition, which says that compressible signals can be exactly reconstructed from highly incomplete sets of measurements. Very recently, the CS has been applied for seismic exploration and started to compact the traditional data acquisition. This paper...

- Non-Parametric Seismic Data Recovery With Curvelet Frames
- Seismic data recovery from data with missing traces on otherwise regular acquisition grids forms a crucial step in the seismic processing flow. For instance, unsuccessful recovery leads to imaging artifacts and to erroneous predictions for the multiples, adversely affecting the performance of multiple elimination. A non-parametric transform-based recovery method is...

- WiMAX Interference to MB-OFDM UWB Systems
- This paper presents an analysis of the performance of the Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) system for Ultra Wideband UWB communication in the presence of interference from a single-carrier IEEE 802.16 WiMAX system operating in the 3.5 GHz band. The intent of the analysis is to provide theoretical justification...

- Understanding the Utility of Rationale in a Mixed-Initiative System for GUI Customization
- This paper investigates the utility of providing users with the system's rationale in a mixed-initiative system for GUI customization. An evaluation comparing a version of the system with and without the rationale suggested that rationale is wanted by many users, leading to increased trust, understandability and predictability, but that not...

- Integration of Runtime Profiling and Static Code Analysis in Linux
- This paper describes a method for profiling large systems software on a Linux platform. Based on runtime profiling results, the bottleneck source code gets analyzed statically, thus identifying the poor algorithms that caused the low performance. Employing of various tools used to profile the case study application leads to the...

- Improved Channel Classification and Scheduling for Non-Collaborative Bluetooth/WLAN Coexistence
- This paper proposes two new techniques to enhance the existing Bluetooth and WLAN coexistence mechanisms. The first one is channel clustering, which is used to classify the channel status more accurately. The second one is called probabilistic channel visiting, which is used to more reasonably allocate the channel resources between...

- Comparison Between Vertical Handoff Decision Algorithms for Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
- The next generation wireless networks will support the vertical handoff mechanism in which users can maintain the connections when they switch from one network to another (e.g., from IEEE 802.11b to CDMA 1xRTT network, and vice versa). Although various vertical handoff decision algorithms have been proposed in the literature recently,...

- Project Manager to Project Leader? And the Rocky Road Between...
- The "planning" phases of a project involve the crystallizing of project goals, the development of the concepts and technical requirements and planning for implementation. These activities typically require a number of iterations and re-runs to flush out the "customer's needs" and optimize project effectiveness. A definition of project leadership is...
