A prominent example of this Web spam is the targeted manipulation of link-based ranking systems to increase the rankings (and, hence, the amount of user traffic) of particular Web pages, regardless of the intrinsic merits of those pages. Interestingly, popular link-based Web ranking algorithms like PageRank, HITS, and TrustRank rely on a fundamental assumption that the quality of a page and the quality of a page's links are the same. In this talk, we analyze link-based web spasm and propose the concept of link credibility and argue that the intrinsic quality of a page in terms of its content should be distinguished from its intrinsic link credibility. Concretely, we propose several techniques for semi-automatically assessing link credibility for all Web pages, since manually determining the link redibility of every page on the Web is infeasible. Second, we propose a novel credibility-based Web ranking algorithm -- CredibleRank. The new ranking algorithm incorporates link credibility information directly into the quality assessment of each page on the Web. CredibleRank effectively counters the influence of link hijacking, honeypots, and other spammer attacks that seek to corrupt link-based algorithms. Finally, we introduce concrete metrics for measuring the spam-resilience properties of ranking algorithms and show how the proposed credibility-based ranking algorithm outperforms both PageRank and TrustRank over real-world Web data of over 100 million pages. Biography: Dr. Ling Liu is an Associate Professor in the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. There she directs the research programs in Distributed Data Intensive Systems Lab (DiSL), examining performance, security, privacy, and data management issues in building large scale network centric and data intensive systems and applications.

Automated Application Deployment and Staging using Code Generation in Elba Project Prof. Calton Pu (Georgia Institute of Technology) ABSTRACT Large N-Tier applications running in data centers have complex deployment requirements and dependencies that change frequently. The increasing complexity and scalability requirements of such applications demand automated design, testing, deployment and monitoring of applications. The goal of Elba project is creating automated staging and testing of complex enterprise systems before deployment to production. Automating the staging process lowers the cost of testing applications and improves its reliability. Elba software tools extract test parameters from production specifications, such as SLAs, and deployment specifications, and via the Mulini generator, create staging plans for the application. A benchmark application, the TPC-W, is used to validate the generated configuration. Simple learning tools identify system bottlenecks and refine application deployments based on performance and cost. Biography : Calton Pu was born in Taiwan and grew up in Brazil. He received his PhD from University of Washington in 1986 and served on the faculty of Columbia University and Oregon Graduate Institute. Currently, he is holding the position of Professor and John P. Imlay, Jr. Chair in Software at the College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology. He is currently working on three areas. First, he is using automated code generation techniques to automate and ensure the correct deployment of large scale N-tier applications in the Elba project. Second, he is investigating software and statistical techniques to defend against Denial of Information attacks in areas such as email and web spam. Third, he is working on the application of specialization and other techniques to ensure the reliability, trust, and security of system and application software. He has been the principal investigator of the Infosphere, Synthetix, and Immunix projects, with technical contributions such as Epsilon Serializability, Reflective Transaction Framework, and Continual Queries over the Internet. His collaborations include applications of these techniques in scientific research on macromolecular structure data, weather data, and environmental data, as well as in industrial settings. He has published more than 50 journal papers and book chapters, 150 conference and refereed workshop papers, and served on more than 100 program committees, including the co-PC chairs of SRDS'95, ICDE・9, COOPIS・2, SRDS・3, and co-general chair of ICDE'97, CIKM'01, ICDE・6. 3. Spatial Alarms: Scalable Architecture and Energy-efficient Processing Techniques Prof. Ling Liu (Georgia Institute of Technology) Time based alarms are used by many on a daily basis. Spatial alarms extend the very same idea to location based triggers, which are fired whenever a mobile user enters the spatial region of the location alarms. Spatial alarms provide critical capabilities for many mobile location based applications ranging from personal assistants, inventory tracking to industrial safety warning systems. In this talk we present a scalable architecture for energy efficient processing of spatial alarms, while maintaining low computation and storage costs on mobile clients. Two important architectural designs are considered: Client-based and Sever-based solutions. In client based architecture, we focus on efficient techniques for processing spatial alarms while minimizing energy consumption on mobile clients. In Sever-based architecture, we focus on systematic methods for indexing spatial alarms, enabling efficient processing of public alarms, group-shared spatial alarms and private spatial alarms. In this talk we will first introduce the concept of safe distance to reduce the number of unnecessary mobile client wakeups for spatial alarm evaluation, enabling mobile clients to sleep for longer intervals of time in the presence of active spatial alarms. We show that our safe distance techniques can significantly minimize the energy consumption on mobile clients compared to periodic wakeups while preserving the accuracy and timeliness of spatial alarms. Second, we present a suite of techniques for minimizing the number of location triggers to be checked for spatial alarm evaluation upon each wakeup. This further reduces the computation cost and energy expenditure on mobile clients. We evaluate the scalability and energy-efficiency of our approach using a road network simulator. Our spatial alarms middleware architecture offers significant improvements on battery lifetime of mobile clients, while maintaining high quality of spatial alarm services, especially compared to the conventional approach of periodic wakeup and checking all alarms upon wakeup. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 中野　美由紀東京大学　生産技術研究所　喜連川研究室 Miyuki NAKANO Institute of Industrial Science, Univ. of Tokyo miyuki(a)tkl.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp

CFP: 6th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM2007)
by Seguti Gutierrez-Nolasco 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

(Apologies if you receive multiple messages from us.) Please forward to interested colleagues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 6th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM2007) Monday November 26, 2007 Newport Beach, CA, USA CALL FOR PAPERS Overview -------- It is now widely acknowledged that middleware systems of the future must flexibly adapt to increasing heterogeneity of devices and access networks, and deal with highly dynamic change at different levels of the system architecture. The prior workshops in this series (RMW00, RMW03, RMW04, ARM05, ARM06) have explored a range of techniques to support such adaptivity, and have also focused strongly on approaches to self-adaptivity. In the early days of the workshop series, much of the focus was on the application of reflective techniques. However, as reflection became mainstream, the scope of the workshop has increasingly diversified to encompass a wider range of adaptivity approaches and techniques. In the 2007 edition we plan to continue this trend by considering a broad range of relevant techniques including software componentization, design patterns in support of adaptation, software architecture, aspect-orientation, and control theory. We also want to acknowledge strong trends towards diversification in middleware environments leading to such areas peer-to-peer middleware, network-centric middleware, grid environments, sensor networks, and pervasive and mobile environments. This essentially implies considering domain-specific adaptation approaches (e.g. generalized fault-tolerance in peer-to-peer middleware). Finally, we want to recognize that developing comprehensively-adaptive middleware requires us to consider the nuances of system layers (e.g. devices, OSs, networks, applications) other than the middleware 'layer' itself. Goal and Contributions ---------------------- Following the success of the past workshops in this series, ARM07 aims to provide researchers with a leading-edge view on the state of the art in adaptive middleware. The goal of the workshop is to gather active researchers in the field to pool insight, and to share and develop new approaches to middleware adaptivity. As indicated above, our aim is to also bring in researchers involved in designing adaptive software at the architectural, OS and network layers. We believe that a forum that includes experts from these various communities will be extremely useful in fostering a more holistic approach to future research in adaptive middleware. Workshop Format --------------- The workshop will be organized as a series of sessions, each devoted to the presentation of papers on a common theme. Each session will end with a mini-panel involving the presenters and driven by a pre-selected "devil's advocate". In past years this format has been found to lead to lively and productive discussion. The workshop will include a special session for the presentation of posters and demos of ongoing research efforts and prototypes. The workshop will conclude with a wrap-up panel, moderated by one of the organizers, with the aim of discussing and summarising key contributions, research issues and trends. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Attendance is based on the submission of a position paper, poster or demo. (In addition, other participants may be invited by the organizing committee.) Position papers should not exceed 6 pages of text on letter/A4 paper in ACM format without page numbers. Document templates for most popular document processing tools can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. All papers and abstracts should be submitted in either PS or PDF format. Poster and demo submissions should be accompanied with a 2-page abstract. Papers and abstracts should be submitted through the ARM07 EasyChair online submissions website: http://www.easychair.org/ARM07/. All accepted papers will be published via the ACM's Digital Library as part of the "ACM International Conference Proceeding Series" (AICPS). A few selected papers may additionally be invited to submit an extended version to IEEE Distributed Systems Online. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: * Design and performance of adaptive and self-adaptive middleware platforms * Application of adaptive and reflective middleware techniques to achieve reconfigurability and/or adaptability * Application of techniques to achieve separation of concerns in middleware environments * Design of Meta Object Protocols (MOP) for reflective middleware * Cross-layer interactions and adaptation mechanisms including network, OS and device level techniques * Adaptation and reflection in execution environments such as P2P networks, ad-hoc networks, and network-centric computing * Incorporation of non-functional properties such as real-time, fault-tolerance, security, etc. into middleware * Incorporation of adaptation into middleware-related software development techniques, such as design patterns, component frameworks or software architectures * Experiences with adaptive middleware technologies in specific application domains; e.g., sensor networks, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, mobile computing, grid computing etc. * Fundamental developments in the theory and practice of adaptation and reflection, as it relates to middleware * Examination of how complementary techniques, such as aspect-oriented programming, can solve problems in the design, implementation and use of adaptive middleware * Techniques to improve the performance and/or scalability of adaptive middleware techniques * Design and programming abstractions to manage the complexity of adaptive middleware * Approaches to maintain the integrity of adaptive middleware * Tools for adaptive middleware to support areas such as development, deployment, debugging or modeling * Hardware reconfigurability as it relates to middleware Important Dates --------------- Paper, poster and demo submissions.......August 1st, 2007 Acceptance notificati.................September 1st, 2007 Camera-ready papers due.................October 1st, 2007 Workshop..............................November 26th, 2007 Program Chairs -------------- Fabio Costa.........................Federal University of Goias, Brazil Publicity Chair --------------- Sebastian Gutierrez-Nolasco.....University of California at Irvine, USA Poster/Demo Chair ----------------- t.b.d.
