In this case routes are built dynamically, as nodes act according to a store-carry-and-forward paradigm. A natural continuation of forwarding in opportunistic networks is data dissemination, which is usually performed using the publish/subscribe model. In this paper, we propose a socially-based data dissemination technique for opportunistic networks called Social Dissemination. The solution assumes that nodes are grouped into communities, where nodes in the same community meet often, while at the same time certain nodes may have relationships with nodes from other communities. When two nodes meet, they exchange information about the data they store, and select data objects from the other node according to a utility function. We define such a utility function and experimentally compare its results with previously proposed state-of-the-art dissemination techniques.","PeriodicalId":184344,"journal":{"name":"2011 13th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115612700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ongoing transition from Web 2.0 to the Semantic Web makes the development of intelligent services with the ability to discern, classify and simplify web information of vital importance. In this paper we present a new model for web-history organizing in order to improve the user action over the Internet. Based on this model we proposed an application, delivered as a Google Chrome browser extension, which organizes the web-history into semantic clusters, providing the user with an easy-to-follow hierarchal structure. The paper covers the main algorithms in the field, offering a comprehensive critical analysis, such as document vectorization, relational clustering, fuzzy and genetic variations and the item-set-based approach. Our work consists of adapting these algorithms to support an ever-increasing set of input data. The result is a hybrid variation that rapidly offers an acceptable solution, which is optimized in time, a quality preserved during the extensive web explorations a user may undergo. A variety of test results is presented in the end, with under-stress behavior and a selection of user experience.","PeriodicalId":184344,"journal":{"name":"2011 13th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116523609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The A-sequence is still generated using a LFSR, but the S-sequence is replaced by a finitely generated bi-ideal - a non-periodic sequence. The resulting pseudo-random sequence performs well in statistical tests. We show a method for the construction of an infinite number of finitely generated bi-ideals from a given A-sequence, such that the resulting sequence of the shrinking generator is nonperiodic. Further we prove the existence of what we call universal finitely generated bi-ideals that produce non-periodic words when used as the S-sequence of a shrinking generator for all non-trivial periodic A-sequences.","PeriodicalId":184344,"journal":{"name":"2011 13th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125995570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These (un)learning strategies are inspired by two linguistic phenomena occurring in a dialect spoken in the Banat area of Romania. Children from that region -- where influences produced over centuries by Serbian, a Slavic language, are obvious -- learn in school the modern Romanian language, which is a Romance language. This particular setup offers us the possibility to model in FCG a two-step learning process: the first step is that of learning a (perfective) verbal aspect similar to the one already presented by Kateryna Gerasymova in her MSc thesis, while the second one is concerned with un-learning (or, learning another linguistic \"construction'' over) this verbal aspect. Thus, the interesting issue here is how learning could continue beyond learning the verbal aspects. We will first give linguistic facts, after which we will outline the way in which FCG could model such a linguistic process. From the computational point of view, we show that the heuristics used in this grammar repairing process can be automatically derived since the meanings associated to words and phrases are organized in a lattice of feature structures, according to the underlying constraint logics. We will later discuss the case of another verbal marker in the dialect spoken in Banat. It will lead us to sketch a composite, quite elaborated (un)learning strategy.","PeriodicalId":184344,"journal":{"name":"2011 13th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128948854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
