03 Nov 2003TL;DR: It is argued that information technology has evolved into a world of largely loosely coupled systems and as such, needs increasingly more explicit, machine-interpretable semantics, so ontologies in the form of logical domain theories and their knowledge bases offer the richest representations of machine- interpretable semantics for systems and databases in the loosely coupled world.
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the use of ontologies for semantic interoperability and integration. We argue that information technology has evolved into a world of largely loosely coupled systems and as such, needs increasingly more explicit, machine-interpretable semantics. Ontologies in the form of logical domain theories and their knowledge bases offer the richest representations of machine-interpretable semantics for systems and databases in the loosely coupled world, thus ensuring greater semantic interoperability and integration. Finally, we discuss how ontologies support semantic interoperability in the real, commercial and governmental world.

TL;DR: Virtualized platforms, which are increasingly well supported on stock hardware, provide a natural basis for the architecture for attestation guided by five central principles.
Abstract: Remote attestation is the activity of making a claim about properties of a target by supplying evidence to an appraiser over a network. We identify five central principles to guide development of attestation systems. We argue that (i) attestation must be able to deliver temporally fresh evidence; (ii) comprehensive information about the target should be accessible; (iii) the target, or its owner, should be able to constrain disclosure of information about the target; (iv) attestation claims should have explicit semantics to allow decisions to be derived from several claims; and (v) the underlying attestation mechanism must be trustworthy. We illustrate how to acquire evidence from a running system, and how to transport it via protocols to remote appraisers. We propose an architecture for attestation guided by these principles. Virtualized platforms, which are increasingly well supported on stock hardware, provide a natural basis for our attestation architecture.

TL;DR: This paper implements the analogy between the statistical mechanics of large multivariate physical systems and combinatorial optimization, applies it to the traveling salesman problem and the p‐median location problem, and test the approach extensively.
Abstract: In recent papers by Kirkpatrick et al., an analogy between the statistical mechanics of large multivariate physical systems and combinatorial optimization has been presented and used to develop a general strategy for solving discrete optimization problems. The method relies on probabilistically accepting intermediate increases in the objective function through a set of user-controlled parameters. It is argued that by taking such controlled uphill steps, from time to time, a high quality solution can eventually be found in a moderate amount of computer time. In this paper, we implement this idea, apply it to the traveling salesman problem and the p-median location problem, and test the approach extensively.

TL;DR: A common characteristic observed in all three tasks was that the combination of system outputs could yield better results than any single system, including the development of the first text-mining meta-server.
Abstract: Background:
Genome sciences have experienced an increasing demand for efficient text-processing tools that can extract biologically relevant information from the growing amount of published literature. In response, a range of text-mining and information-extraction tools have recently been developed specifically for the biological domain. Such tools are only useful if they are designed to meet real-life tasks and if their performance can be estimated and compared. The BioCreative challenge (Critical Assessment of Information Extraction in Biology) consists of a collaborative initiative to provide a common evaluation framework for monitoring and assessing the state-of-the-art of text-mining systems applied to biologically relevant problems.
