In his opening remarks, Paul Van Oorschot thanked the authors, PC members, attendees, sponsors, and USENIX staff. He announced that the conference received 174 submissions and accepted 27, for a 16% acceptance ratio. Over 400 people registered to attend. Paul also announced that the Best Paper Award went to Jian Zhang, Phillip Porras, and Johannes Ullrich for their paper “Highly Predictive Blac...

A new approach to parameter identification problems from the point of view of symmetry analysis theory is given. A mathematical model that arises in the design of car windshield represented by a linear second order mixed type PDE is considered. Following a particular case of the direct method (due to Clarkson and Kruskal), we introduce a method to study the group invariance between the paramete...

Mr. Roach did his undergraduate civil engineering work under Prof. Hugh Miller, formerly of Clarkson College, now lecturer in civil engineering at Rice. When Mr. Roach graduated he went with the Public Service Commission of New York, and did surveying in connection with the new suburbs of New York City. On March 1, 1916, he accepted a position with the Turner Construction Company, engineers and...

Given an object with n points on its boundary where ngers can be placed, we give algorithms to select a \strong" grasp with a minimal number c of ngers (up to a logarithmic factor) for several measures of goodness. Along similar lines, given an integer c, we nd the \best" c logc nger grasp for a small constant. Furthermore , we generalize existing measures for the case of frictionless assemblie...

1 The authors are with Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, USA 13699 2 The author is with University of Alberta, Canada SUMMARY In this paper, we present an MPEG-4 decoding scheme based on reversible variable length code. The scheme is purely decoder based and compliance with the standard is fully maintained. Moreover, the data recovery scheme suggested in MPEG-4 can still be used as the default ...

We show that the abstract Voronoi diagram of n sites in the plane can be constructed in time O(n log n) by a randomized algorithm. This yields an alternative, but simpler, O(n log n) algorithm in many previously considered cases and the first O(n log n) algorithm in some cases, e.g., disjoint convex sites with the Euclidean distance function. Abstract Voronoi diagrams are given by a family of b...

We construct new solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations with multiple NUT parameters, with and without cosmological constant. These solutions describe spacetimes with non-trivial topology that are asymptotically dS, AdS or flat. We also find the the multiple nut parameter extension of the inhomogeneous Einstein metrics on complex line bundles found recently by Lü, Page and Pope. We al...

We present a symbolic definition of election verifiability for electronic voting protocols. Our definition is given in terms of reachability assertions in the applied pi calculus and is amenable to automated reasoning using the tool ProVerif. The definition distinguishes three aspects of verifiability, which we call individual, universal, and eligibility verifiability. It also allows us to dete...
