TLDR
This work proposes an approach and architecture for customized filtering and cataloging which allows users to create and maintain a metadatabase of information gathered over time by using modular filters created for specific needs or drawn from a standard library.Abstract:
Several search engines, catalogs, and filtering services aim to help users of the Internet deal with a growing information "overload". However, these tools typically are either generic in scope, or limited to the needs of a particular user without regard for reuse in some related context. We propose an approach and architecture for customized filtering and cataloging which bridges these two extremes. We allow users to create and maintain a metadatabase of information gathered over time by using modular filters created for specific needs or drawn from a standard library. This metadatabase, which may be regarded as a database view of the Internet, can then be accessed to locate information relevant to specific or more generic tasks. Potentially, our approach achieves greater flexibility and specificity as compared to currently available tools. We describe our preliminary design, implementation, and experimentation for our proof of concept prototypical effort.read more

Resolving virtual network names
Steven E. Lucco,Erik B. Christensen,Andrew J. Layman,David E. Levin,Bradford H. Lovering,Henrik Frystyk Nielsen,John P. Shewchuk +6 more
TL;DR: An apparatus and method for resolving virtual network names using one or more name routers is provided in this paper. But the resolution process occurs recursively through a plurality of name routers, such that the same virtual network name may be resolved differently depending on the identity of the client or other parameters.

Scoped access control metadata element
TL;DR: In this article, a generic metadata container is presented that allows object metadata to be described in an extensible manner using protocol-neutral and platform-independent methodologies, and a metadata scope refers to a dynamic universe of targets to which the included metadata statements correspond.

TL;DR: In this article, a distributed security system using a security policy that is written in a policy language that is transport and security protocol independent as well as independent of cryptographic technologies is described.

Virtual network with adaptive dispatcher
Luis Felipe Cabrera,Erik B. Christensen,Giovanni M. Della-Libera,Christopher G. Kaler,David E. Levin,Bradford H. Lovering,Steven E. Lucco,Stephen J. Millet,John P. Shewchuk,Robert S. Wahbe,David Wortendyke +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an adaptive dispatcher that route and dispatch messages within the virtual network based on arbitrary content within each message, including any combination of headers and/or data content.

Routing of network messages
Henrik Frystyk Nielsen,John P. Shewchuk,Erik B. Christensen,Alfred M. Lee,Christian Huitema,James M. Lyon,Mark H. Lukovsky,Andrew J. Layman,Satish R. Thatte,Christopher G. Kaler +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a routing protocol is provided for exchanging messages between an initial sender and an ultimate receiver, potentially via a set of intermediaries, providing an optional reverse message path that enables two-way message exchange patterns.

Multi-Engine Search and Comparison Using the MetaCrawler.
Erik Selberg,Oren Etzioni +1 more
TL;DR: The MetaCrawler provides a single, central interface for Web document searching that facilitates customization, privacy, sophisticated ltering of references, and more and serves as a tool for comparison of diverse search services.
Integrating Information Sources Using Context Logic
TL;DR: This paper presents an approach to integrating disparate heterogeneous information sources that uses context logic that reduces the up-front cost of integration, provides an incremental integration path, and allows semantic conflicts within a single information sources or between information sources to be expressed and resolved.
