Besides temporal context that has been used in previous proposals, it considers spatial context of mobility profiles as well as recent travel trajectories. We present a conceptual framework for cooperation between the location database management system (LDMS) and the mobile host (MH) in keeping track of the mobility profiles for location management in mobile computing. Although extra overheads are imposed on both the LDMS side and MH side, they are well justified in terms of reducing paging latency and paging traffic.","PeriodicalId":254550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123039678","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}

One reason that PKIX has not been fully accepted is due to the complexity of the system. Any application wishing to use PKI must implement complicated logic for certificate parsing, certificate path building and policy management. Certificate path building, in particular, is further complicated by the non-standardized method of certificate discovery and retrieval. Thus, many applications do not utilize or cannot utilize public key technology. We propose a new PKI server which offers access to PKI services and only requires a simple client API and a small client library that enables even resource-limited clients to be supported. This can greatly reduce application development time and complexity and allow PKI usage to propagate into more applications. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of a PKI server-to-server protocol which allows knowledge of certificate repositories and certificate paths to be shared among different PKI Servers. This technique will simplify the task of certificate retrieval and path building for individual PKI Servers.","PeriodicalId":254550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123116032","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}

In this paper, we propose a new method for processing the queries including both joins and aggregate functions. The proposed method performs grouping of dimension tables with group-by conditions at first and then processes joins by using bitmap join indices. This allows us to process aggregate functions by accessing fact tables only, thus it can reduce the serious performance degradation of existing methods. In order to show the superiority of the proposed method, we develop a cost model for both the proposed and the existing ones, and perform extensive simulations based on the TPC-H benchmark.","PeriodicalId":254550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121724909","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 paper presents a view that 'organisational knowledge' can be supported through coherent research-based continuing professional development for teachers and educational leaders, which uses ICT to develop 'knowledge management' through supporting 'hyperlearning'.","PeriodicalId":254550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125135923","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}

Today's challenges are less related to data storage and information retrieval, but can rather be found in the analysis of data on a global scale in a heterogeneous information system: technologies such as on-line analytical processing, data mining and knowledge discovery in databases all require the integration of information and efficient query processing. In distributed and heterogeneous datasets this can only be achieved by the efficient distribution and scheduling of subtasks in a distributed computing resource. We propose the use of mobile query optimizations based on agent-technology for distributed data warehouse and OLAP applications to adapt the concurrent query execution dynamically to the computing resource it executes on. This is of particular importance in cluster and grid computing.","PeriodicalId":254550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128055299","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}

In this study we model individual classifications of cultural heritage material in terms of the metaphor of projection from a space of properties onto a classificatory layer. We assume each artifact to be defined by a large, virtually infinite number of descriptive features that can be depicted as vectors These vectors define the position of the artifact in the multidimensional space of properties. An individual understanding of the material is described as a nonlinear projection of positions in the space of properties onto a layer of classifications. Implications of this approach are anticipated in the light of applying it to an example of data, derived from a 16/sup th/ Century corpus of work.","PeriodicalId":254550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114293896","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}

Many Web sites realise this aim by publishing pages from a data repository which supports browsing and searching. Building such a site is challenging in the first place, but since the information to be published will be spread among the community who wish to share the data, maintenance is an even greater challenge. In this case, the developers must continuously solicit, receive, moderate and integrate new information into the Web site. The additional task of moderation is considerably more time consuming even than the initial Web site construction and requires appropriate tools to expedite the process. This paper describes the prototype of an architecture for constructing Web sites which take part in a cycle of publishing and receiving data, in which the pages also solicit fresh information by the use of forms and E-mail. The architecture facilitates both site construction and maintenance, by allowing the date to be declaratively specified and then generating the data repository, Web pages and moderating program automatically.","PeriodicalId":254550,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications","volume":"259 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124248424","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}
