The "Infoharness" Information Integration Platform, Leon Shklar, Satish Thatte, Howard Marcus, Amit P. Sheth
Kno.e.sis Publications
The "InfoHarness" information integration platform, tools, and services being developed at Bellcore are aimed at providing integrated and rapid access to huge amounts of heterogeneous information independent of the type, representation, and location of information. InfoHarness provides advanced search and browsing capabilities without imposing the burden of restructuring, reformatting or relocating information on information suppliers or creators. This is achieved through object-oriented encapsulation of information and the associated meta-information (e.g., type, location, access rights, owner, creation date, etc.). The meta-information extraction methods ensure rapid and largely automatic creation of information repositories. A gateway that supports access to InfoHarness repositories from …
Does Pedagogy Make A Difference?: An Experimental Study Of Unethical Behavior In Information Systems, Deepak Khazanchi
Does Pedagogy Make A Difference?: An Experimental Study Of Unethical Behavior In Information Systems, Deepak Khazanchi
Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications
Jn the past few years ethics education has received increasing attention from the business and academic communities. Many have instituted pedagogical programs for increasing awareness of ethical issues, ethical norms and codes of conduct in different professions. It appears that both researchers and practitioners are in agreement about the need for providing adequate ethics education to managers (13, 20, 9). This has become especially important in the context of the information systems (IS) discipline. Proliferation of information and communication technologies has raised many questions on what constitutes ethical managerial behavior. Researchers have reported that the existence of a computer-based information …

Managing Memory For Real-Time Queries, Hwee Hwa Pang, Michael J. Carey, Miron Livny
Managing Memory For Real-Time Queries, Hwee Hwa Pang, Michael J. Carey, Miron Livny
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The demanding performance objectives that real-time database systems (RTDBS) face necessitate the use of priority resource scheduling. This paper introduces a Priority Memory Management (PMM) algorithm that is designed to schedule queries in RTDBS. PMM attempts to minimize the number of missed deadlines by adapting both its multiprogramming level and its memory allocation strategy to the characteristics of the offered workload. A series of simulation experiments confirms that PMM's admission control and memory allocation mechanisms are very effective for real-time query scheduling.

Myriad is a federated database system (FDBS) prototype being developed at the University of Minnesota. The main objective behind this prototyping effort is to provide "enterprise-wide" information by integrating independently developed databases while preserving the local autonomy of the component DBMSs and applications. In Myriad, multiple federations can be formed. A federation consists of an integrated database whose schema is represented as a set of integrated relations derived from the export relations provided by the component DBMSS. SQL, mainly due to its simplicity and popularity among database users and vendors, has been adopted to express global queries as well as …
Using Tickets To Enforce The Serializability Of Multidatabase Transactions, Dimitrios Georgakopoulos, Marek Rusinkiewicz, Amit P. Sheth
Using Tickets To Enforce The Serializability Of Multidatabase Transactions, Dimitrios Georgakopoulos, Marek Rusinkiewicz, Amit P. Sheth
Kno.e.sis Publications
To enforce global serializability in a multidatabase environment the multidatabase transaction manager must take into account the indirect (transitive) conflicts between multidatabase transactions caused by local transactions. Such conflicts are difficult to resolve because the behavior or even the existence of local transactions is not known to the multidatabase system. To overcome these difficulties, we propose to incorporate additional data manipulation operations in the subtransactions of each multidatabase transaction. We show that if these operations create direct conflicts between subtransactions at each participating local database system, indirect conflicts can be resolved even if the multidatabase system is not aware of …
Study Of The Five-Charged-Pion Decay Of The Τ Lepton, D. Gibaut, Manoj Thulasidas
Study Of The Five-Charged-Pion Decay Of The Τ Lepton, D. Gibaut, Manoj Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The branching fractions for the five-charged-particle decays of the τ lepton have been measured in e+e− annihilations using the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. Assuming all charged particles to be pions, the results are B(3π−2π+≥0 neutrals ντ)=(0.097±0.005±0.011)%, B(3π−2π+ντ)=(0.077±0.005 ±0.009)%, B(3π−2π+π0ντ)=(0.019±0.004±0.004)%, and B(3π−2π+2π0ντ)B(3π−2π−π0ντ) is measured for the first time by exclusive π0 reconstruction. The results are compared with the predictions from the partially conserved-axial-current and conserved-vector-current hypotheses assuming isospin invariance.

The activities of a project manager in overseeing the development of a software system are many and varied. Not all such activities are performed in managing every project. If so, a natural ensuing question is whether project managers adapt their managerial functions to the projects being managed. Prior research suggests that they do adapt, and that project characteristics may be the factors determining this adaptation. This assertion is investigated by considering three characteristics of a project (size, type, and environment) and investigating their association with four traditionally recognized management functions (planning, organizing, controlling, and motivating). Results indicate that project managers …
An ‘Events’ Model For Information Aggregation, Douglas Havelka, Deepak Khazanchi
An ‘Events’ Model For Information Aggregation, Douglas Havelka, Deepak Khazanchi
Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications
Aggregation is one of the key characteristics of information delivered by "information systems." It is important because the ability to design effective support systems depends to a great extent upon the degree of flexibility with regards to information aggregation that can be incorporated in the system. This paper sets forth a conceptual model of information aggregation based on the events theory of accounting. The model suggests that aggregation should be considered as a two-dimensional concept, comprising a temporal and sectional dimension. The two axes are further delineated in the form of "levels of summation" based on specified "events" of aggregation. …

Managing Risks In Information Technology Projects, Boon Siong Neo, Kwong Sin Leong
Research Collection School Of Accountancy
The development and implementation of IT (Information Technology) projects are plagued with problems of cost and time overruns. technical inadequacy, inability to meet user requirements. lack of utilization. and failure to achieve anticipated benefits. These problems occur to some projects and not to others because I) IT projects have different profiles of risk. and 2) IT project risks have been managed more or less effectively. This paper synthesizes the literature into four classes of risks. and applies it to evaluate TradeNet. an EDLbased trading system implemented in Singapore in I989. Through a case study of TradeNet. we derived a typology …

A Greedy Hypercube-Labeling Algorithm, D. Bhagavathi, C. E. Grosch, S. Olariu
Computer Science Faculty Publications
Due to its attractive topological properties, the hypercube multiprocessor has emerged as one of the architectures of choice when it comes to implementing a large number of computational problems. In many such applications, Gray-code labelings of the hypercube are a crucial prerequisite for obtaining efficient algorithms. We propose a greedy algorithm that, given an n-dimensional hypercube H with N=22 nodes, returns a Gray-code labeling of H, that is, a labeling of the nodes with binary strings of length n such that two nodes are neighbors in the hypercube if, and only if, their labels differ in exactly …
Resolving Attribute Incompatibility In Database Integration: An Evidential Reasoning Approach, Ee-Peng Lim, Shashi Shekhar
Resolving Attribute Incompatibility In Database Integration: An Evidential Reasoning Approach, Ee-Peng Lim, Shashi Shekhar
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Resolving domain incompatibility among independently developed databases often involves uncertain information. DeMichiel (1989) showed that uncertain information can be generated by the mapping of conflicting attributes to a common domain, based on some domain knowledge. The authors show that uncertain information can also arise when the database integration process requires information not directly represented in the component databases, but can be obtained through some summary of data. They therefore propose an extended relational model based on Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence (1976) to incorporate such uncertain knowledge about the source databases. They also develop a full set of extended relational operations …

We have fully reconstructed decays of both B¯0 and B− mesons into final states containing either D, D*, D**, ψ, ψ’, or χc1 mesons. This allows us to obtain new results on many physics topics including branching ratios, tests of the factorization hypothesis, color suppression, resonant substructure, and the B−−B¯0 mass difference.

We have measured the vector-pseudoscalar mass splitting M(D*+s)-M(D+s)=144.22±0.47±0.37 MeV significantly more precisely than the previous world average. We minimize the systematic errors by also measuring the vector-pseudoscalar mass difference M(D*0)-M(D0) using the radiative decay D*0→D0γ, obtaining [M(D*+s)-M(D+s)]-[M(D*0)-M(D0)] =2.09±0.47±0.37 MeV. This is then combined with our previous high-precision measurement of M(D*0)-M(D0), which used the decay D*0→D0π0. We also measure the mass difference M(D+s)-M(D+)=99.5±0.6±0.3 MeV, using the φπ+ decay modes of the D+s and D+ mesons.
