We show a prototype implementation of a Wiki-based Malleable Finding Aid that provides features to support user engagement and we discuss the contribution of individual features such as graphical representations, a table of contents, interactive sorting of entries, and the possibility for user tagging. Finally, we explore the implications of Malleable Finding Aids for collections which are rich...

A malleable document is a document which can be incrementally transformed by an individual reader until it better suits that reader’s needs. The transformation can alter content as well as form, and can result in a document which by normal standards would be considered entirely different from the original. We describe how malleable documents can be authored using an extension of HTML, Intension...

Existing de nitions of program obfuscation do not rule out malleability attacks, where an adversary that sees an obfuscated program is able to generate another (potentially obfuscated) program that is related to the original one in some way. We formulate two natural avors of non-malleability requirements for program obfuscation, and show that they are incomparable in general. We also construct ...

Invasive Computing enables a resource-aware programming style, which includes adapting to external resource changes similar to malleability. We introduce asynchronously-malleable applications, which can adapt at any time without synchronizing the whole application, in contrast to specific synchronization points. We show how master-slave applications meet the requirements for asynchronous mallea...

We present a technique for generalizing previously known results for single resource task systems to multiresource malleable task systems: Assuming a system with s resources, we apply a transformation which maps the system into a single resource task system. For a large class of heuristics it is shown, that given a heuristic H which achieves a suboptimality bound of c H with respect to the opti...

Model coupling is a well-known method employed to simulate complex multiphysics and multiscale phenomena. Approaches have concentrated on coupling parallel models involving static data distribution among processes without the consideration of top-level dynamic load balancing. Malleability, the ability to change during execution the number of processes in an application, allows applications to c...

A malleable coding scheme considers not only compression efficiency but also the ease of alteration, thus encouraging some form of recycling of an old compressed version in the formation of a new one. Malleability cost is the difficulty of synchronizing compressed versions, and malleable codes are of particular interest when representing information and modifying the representation are both exp...
