Complex SQL queries are widely used today, but it is rather difficult to check if a complex query has been written correctly. Formal verification based on comparing a specification with an implementation is not applicable, since SQL queries are essentially a specification without any implementation. Queries are usually checked by running them on sample datasets and checking that the correct result...
The ITER Superconducting Magnet Manufacturing Database, MMD, is not only a data archive, but also a common communication platform, on which contributors to magnet manufacturing collaborate and take coordinated actions. In-kind procurement is a feature of the ITER construction. The magnet system construction involves six Domestic Agencies (DAs) plus contractors in these DAs. The six DAs are EU, Japan,...
The silhouette of the face profile is a well-known biometric that is already in use in face recognition research. One of the challenges for successful employment of this biometric is the sensitivity of its geometry to face rotation. In this paper, we introduce a new method that improves robustness to rotation. We achieve this by exploring the feature space of profiles under various rotations with...
Current research trend towards mobile computing emphasizes the need for distribution of data among various clients in wireless environment. Sharing the data in J2ME opens the data to be accessible for all MIDLETs present on the device, hence creating a number of vulnerabilities to the confidential information that is intended to be shared with specific MIDLETs, e.g. a malicious MIDLET can delete,...
