Using new scheduling heuristics based on resource consumption information for increasing throughput on rule‐based spam filtering systems

The large increase of spam deliveries since the first half of 2013 entailed hard to solve troubles in spam filters. In order to adequately fight spam, the throughput of spam filtering platforms should be necessarily increased. In this context, and taking into consideration the widespread utilization of rule‐based filtering frameworks in the spam filtering domain, this work proposes three novel scheduling strategies for optimizing the time needed to classify new incoming e‐mails through an intelligent management of computational resources depending on the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage and Input/Output (I/O) delays. In order to demonstrate the suitability of our approaches, we include in our experiments a comparative study in contrast to other successful heuristics previously published in the scientific literature. Results achieved demonstrated that one of our alternative heuristics allows time savings of up to 10% in message filtering, while keeping the same classification accuracy.

Robust Cardiac Function Assessment in 4D PC‐MRI Data of the Aorta and Pulmonary Artery

Four‐dimensional phase‐contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D PC‐MRI) allows the non‐invasive acquisition of time‐resolved, 3D blood flow information. Stroke volumes (SVs) and regurgitation fractions (RFs) are two of the main measures to assess the cardiac function and severity of valvular pathologies. The flow rates in forward and backward direction through a plane above the aortic or pulmonary valve are required for their quantification. Unfortunately, the calculations are highly sensitive towards the plane's angulation since orthogonally passing flow is considered. This often leads to physiologically implausible results. In this work, a robust quantification method is introduced to overcome this problem. Collaborating radiologists and cardiologists were carefully observed while estimating SVs and RFs in various healthy volunteer and patient 4D PC‐MRI data sets with conventional quantification methods, that is, using a single plane above the valve that is freely movable along the centerline. By default it is aligned perpendicular to the vessel's centerline, but free angulation (rotation) is possible. This facilitated the automation of their approach which, in turn, allows to derive statistical information about the plane angulation sensitivity. Moreover, the experts expect a continuous decrease of the blood flow volume along the vessel course. Conventional methods are often unable to produce this behaviour. Thus, we present a procedure to fit a monotonous function that ensures such physiologically plausible results. In addition, this technique was adapted for the usage in branching vessels such as the pulmonary artery. The performed informal evaluation shows the capability of our method to support diagnosis; a parameter evaluation confirms the robustness. Vortex flow was identified as one of the main causes for quantification uncertainties.     

Are we Building a Better World with ICTs? Empirically Examining this Question in the Domain of Public Health in India

As social scientists engaged in Information Technologies for Development (IT4D), a question we need to necessarily engage with is “are we building a better world with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)?” This question, first posed by Professor Geoff Walsham in the IS field, was the topic of my plenary discussion at the IFIP 9.4 meeting in Jamaica 2014, and had now been further developed to this “view from practice” paper for this journal. A first step in this paper has been the reformulation of the question which Professor Walsham raised: “What distortions and obstacles are created by the historical, material, and institutional conditions, and how these shape our efforts of ICTs creating a better world?” This reformulation is done to bring in more explicitly the political dimension into the question, and to nuance the technological deterministic argument implied in the question of technology (always) creating a better world. Taking an empirical example of an ICT intervention from the public health sector in India, deliberately chosen to emphasize distortions typically seen is similar Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) projects, the analysis focuses on understanding the conditions of distortions, why they occur, and what can be done differently to contribute to our notion of a better world.

Stabilizing composite control for a class of linear systems modeled by singularly perturbed Ito differential equations

In this paper, the problem of robust H_∞ control is investigated for sampled-data systems with probabilistic sampling. The parameter uncertainties are time-varying norm-bounded and appear in both the state and input matrices. For the simplicity of technical development, only two different sampling periods are considered whose occurrence probabilities are given constants and satisfy Bernoulli distribution, which can be further extended to the case with multiple stochastic sampling periods. By applying an input delay approach, the probabilistic sampling system is transformed into a continuous time-delay system with stochastic parameters in the system matrices. By linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, sufficient conditions are obtained, which guarantee the robust mean-square exponential stability of the system with an H_∞ performance. Moreover, an H_∞ controller design procedure is then proposed. An illustrative example is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.     

Real-time approximation of molecular interaction interfaces based on hierarchical space decomposition

The interaction interface between two molecules can be represented as a bisector surface equidistant from the two sets of spheres of varying radii representing atoms. We recursively divide a box containing both sphere-sets into uniform pairs of sub-boxes. The distance from each new box to each sphere-set is conservatively approximated by an interval, and the number of sphere-box computations is greatly reduced by pre-partitioning each sphere-set using a kd-tree. The subdivision terminates at a specified resolution, creating a box partition (BP) tree. A piecewise linear approximation of the bisector surface is then obtained by traversing the leaves of the BP tree and connecting points equidistant from the sphere-sets. In 124 experiments with up to 16,728 spheres, a bisector surface with a resolution of 1/2⁴ of the original bounding box was obtained in 28.8 ms on average.
