In this case, we may replace gradient with a pseudo gradient to determine the optimal search direction. Nonetheless, the complexity of the algorithm is very high. When a nonlinear integral with respect to signed fuzzy measure is used in multiregression, people encounter the problem that, comparing to the number of variables, there are exponentially many unknown parameters in the model. However, in real-world problems, the higher-order interactions among the variables can be omitted, and then only second-order one with an acceptable small error in the results. Thus, a 2-additive measure based on the Mobius transformation and its inverse can be used to replace the signed fuzzy measure. In such a way, the complexity of the computation will be significantly reduced","PeriodicalId":402255,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse & Integration","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117066005","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}

Although the benefits of commonality are widely known, many companies are still not taking full advantage of it when developing new products or redesigning existing ones. One reason is the lack of appropriate methods to retrieve and reuse relevant information when re/designing products. In this paper, we propose a framework to (1) collect information on product families, (2) store it using ontology, (3) retrieve relevant information on a product family using graph query, (4) reuse this information to redesign a product family using a genetic algorithm-based optimizer and (5) represent the redesigned product family using a product family concept lattice, which we call a networked bill of material (NBOM). Besides increasing the understanding of the interaction between components in a product family, the framework explicitly captures the redesign process for improving commonality using formal concept analysis. As an example, a family of staplers is redesigned using the proposed framework","PeriodicalId":402255,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse & Integration","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117334024","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}

Role based access control (RBAC) has become the predominant model for advanced access control due to the reduced complexity and cost of administration. Under RBAC, security administration is greatly simplified by using roles, hierarchies and privileges, and user management is uncomplicated by using LDAP API specification within the J2EE application. System administrators create roles according to the job functions performed in an organization, grant permissions to those roles, and then assign users to the roles on the basis of their specific job responsibilities and qualifications. We introduce in this paper RBAC in a typical J2EE enterprise application and present architectural details, along with security administration and user-profile management for RBAC. Netegrity SiteMinder provides the RBAC foundation, and J2EE framework serves as the reference model for administration in the application.

We define them and present a classification of these relationships. We propose 'item-relatedness' of an item-pair as a composite of these relationships. We then present a structural decomposition of the relatedness of an item pair, based on its co-occurring transactions, co-occurring and non co-occurring item-neighborhoods. We identify those relationships that can be discerned solely from transaction data analysis. ARs that contain unrelated or weakly related item-pairs are likely to be interesting. The structural decomposition helps in clarifying components of relatedness.

The results illustrate that the MIBIC algorithm produces an image with enhanced visualization of cellular structures than that obtained by the best focus leveled image and thus offers a viable alternative to enhance images produced by a traditional light microscope.

Among the reconstruction methods, inflating cubic corners is one of attractive tools due to its simple and analytic nature. However, it can only handle limited regular polyhedrons whose planes are all mutually perpendicular. An extended cubic corner algorithm is developed so that linear swept volumes of arbitrary polygonal profiles can be reconstructed.
