  <description><![CDATA[We describe the initial results of a project aimed at adapting the Cyc system for use in an agent architecture. Two Cyc systems that share a large common core of knowledge but differ in additional knowledge they possess were able to reason together to solve problems that neither could solve on its own. A rudimentary interface was constructed for Cyc that allowed it to communicate with other KQML-speaking agents. The Cyc reasoning algorithm was modified to allow it to ask other agents for help...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[In this position paper we describe our vision for the next generation of IT services. Services will be automatically discovered, procured and inte-grated with the service consumer’s technical environment. This whole process will be determined by the policies defined by the consumer and will be transparent to the consumer.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Virtualized Service models are now emerging and redefining the way information technology is delivered to end users. Current research is focused on specific pieces like service discovery, composition etc. There is no holistic view of what would constitute a lifecycle of virtualized services delivered on a cloud environment. In this paper, we propose an integrated methodology that covers the entire service lifecycle.  We have divided the IT service lifecycle on the cloud into five phases of re...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The Semantic Web was designed to unambiguously define and use ontologies to encode data and knowledge on the Web. Many people find it difficult, however, to write complex RDF statements and queries because it requires familiarity with the appropriate ontologies and the terms they define. We describe a framework that eases the experiences in authoring and querying RDF data, in which we focus on automatically finding a set of appropriate Semantic Web ontology terms from a set of words used as t...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[NASA's traditional science data processing systems have focused on specific missions, and providing data access, processing and services to the funded science teams of those specific missions. Recently NASA has been modifying this stance, changing the focus from Missions to Measurements. Where a specific Mission has a discrete beginning and end, the Measurement considers long term data continuity across multiple missions. Total Column Ozone, a critical measurement of atmospheric composition, ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Web search logs are of growing importance to researchers as they
help understanding search behavior and search engine
performance. However, search logs typically contain sensitive
information about users and therefore considerable caution must be exercised when considering releasing the logs to the research community. Current approaches to releasing search logs focus on
either protecting the privacy of users or enhancing the utility of
data to researchers. In this work, we address the pr...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Cross layer optimizations are increasingly being used in a variety of applications to improve application performance.
However most of these implementations are ad hoc and performed on a per application basis. In this paper we propose a declarative framework for managing application and network
adaptations. The declarative paradigm provides a much needed clean line of separation between the high level goals and the low level implementations. Our framework exposes the tunable
features of bo...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Virtualized service models are now emerging and redefining the way Information technology is delivered to end users.  In this paper, we propose a framework to measure and track quality delivered by a Virtualized service delivery system. The framework accounts for the service’s internal elements as well as the other services it depends on for its performance. It provides a mechanism to relate hard metrics typically measured at the backstage of the delivery process to quality related hard and...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The standard method for combating spam, either in email or on the web, is to train a classifier on manually labeled instances. As the spammers change their tactics, the performance of such classifiers tends to decrease over time. Gathering and labeling more data to periodically retrain the classifier is expensive. We present a method based on an ensemble of classifiers that can detect when its performance might be degrading and retrain itself, all without manual intervention.  Experiments wit...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We describe an efficient technique to weigh word-based features in binary classification tasks and show that it significantly improves classification accuracy on a range of problems. The most common text classification approach uses a document's ngrams (words and short phrases) as its features and assigns feature values equal to their frequency or TFIDF score relative to the training corpus. Our approach uses values computed as the product of an ngram's document frequency and the difference o...]]></description>
