Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

As you prepare to baste (or just consume!) another turkey this year, we wanted to give you a little pre-Thanksgiving feast regarding the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA).
First, the basics. The GINA applies to all employers who have at least 15 employees as well as employment agencies and labor organizations. It prohibits employers not only from using genetic information to discriminate against or harass employees or applicants, but from even requesting such information, except in the limited circumstances described below. In the specific instances where it is "OK" to request genetic information, it still must be kept confidential and cannot be used to discriminate against or harass the individual.
The GINA provides the same damages for violation as the ADA and Title VII (including recovery of punitive damages and attorney fees!). It also has a posting requirement like the FMLA.

1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to information retrieval systems. More particularly, the invention relates to optimized source selection for query searching in a distributed information system, e.g., the Internet.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As the Internet has expanded in public interest, the number of available sources or databases has increased to respond to such interest. The amount of data available to users has increased dramatically. The result is an information overload for the user. Because of such information overload, a query or request for information from the Internet could be very time consuming if all the sources were searched for response to the query. Moreover, the information processing resources necessary to support such queries would be prohibitive and the elapsed time to complete a query would be so extensive to the point that user interest in the Internet would diminish. Also, the search results obtained would be little, if any, better than a query limited to sources judged most likely by the user to contain relevant information or documents. What is needed to overcome information overload in distributed information system, e.g. the Internet is an automated system and method of information retrieval which optimally selects sources or databases most likely to provide the best response to a user query.
Prior art related to source selection in an information retrieval system includes the following:
An article entitled "An Intelligent Database Assistant" by G. Jakobson, et. al., published in the International Electronic Electrical Engineers (IEEE Expert (USA), Vol. 1 No. 2, pp. 65-79, Summer 1986, discloses an intelligent database assistant called FRED. The assistant uses artificial intelligence techniques and gives users substantial help in data selection, query formulation and data interpretation. FRED provides querying in a cooperative natural language dialogue, automatic database selection, automatic query generation and portable access to different database systems.
An article entitled "Database Selector for Network Use: A Feasibility Study", published in the Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting 1977, Vol. 14, "Information Management in the 1980's", Chicago, Ill., USA, Sep. 26-October 1977, by Henry Williams et. al, discloses an automatic database selector which operates on user query terms and provides a relative ranking of databases according to applicability to the query. A test version Database Selector consists of a file containing terminology from 20 major databases, programs for data management and file generation, programs for query processing and a mathematical model for normalizing the variability (differing numbers of years worth of files, controlled versus uncontrolled terminology, hierarchial and multilevel vocabularies, etc.) that is found in multiple natural language databases. A database selector helps users and searchers determine file appropriateness for queries or help processors and producers with database comparisons, vocabulary comparisons and vocabulary compatibility problems.
An article entitled "The Selection of On-Line Databases for U.K. Company Information" published in the Journal of Librarian Information Science, Vol. 27 No. 3, pp. 159-70, September 1995, by G. Tseng et al., discloses an expert system designed to assist novice and end-users on-line searchers to identify which database to use for particular types of company information. A Company Information Database Advisor (CIDA) assists selection of on-line databases for range types of U.K. company information: basic company details; company financial information; company ownership and shareholdings. CIDA is designed to locate information about U.K. companies, the databases recommended are both national and international. The paper presents a database selection criteria identified during the project for 5 of the original CDIA company information categories. The paper outlines specific functions for which CIDA was designed and indicates significant factors influencing choice of databases for certain types of company information.
An article entitled "Adaptive User Models for Intelligent Information Filtering" published in Intelligent Systems, Proceedings of Third Golden West International Conference, Las Vegas, Nev., Jun. 6-8, 1994, by K. J. Mock et al., discloses an intelligent information filtering system which reduces a searchers burden by automatically eliminating incoming data predicted to be irrelevant. These predictions are learned by adapting an internal user model which is based upon user interaction. The report examines three techniques for filtering information: global hill climbing, genetic algorithms, and preliminary work with neural networks using radial based functions.
An article entitled "Internet Categorization in Search: A Self-Organizing Approach" published in the Journal of Visual Communications Image Represent. (USA), Vol. 7 No. 1, Academic Press, pp. 88-102, March 1996, by C. Hsinchun et al., a concept based categorization and search capability for World Wide Web (WWW) servers based on selected machine learning algorithms. The search method addresses an internet search problem by first categorizing the contents of internet documents. A multilayer neural network clustering algorithm employing a self-organizing map feature categorizes internet home pages according to their content. A category hierarchies created served and petitioned vast internet services into subject specific categories and databases and improved internet key word searching and/or browsing. None of the prior art discloses or suggests optimizing the source selection by generating a model for classifying sources and then using the model for predicting the sources most likely to contain documents that satisfy a user query.
An object of the invention is an information retrieval system and method for automatically and optimally selecting sources most likely to satisfy a query in an information network.
Another object is a system and method using supervised learning techniques for generating a model to classify sources for automatic and optimal selection of sources most likely to provide responses in an information network which satisfy a user query.
Another object is a system and method in an information network using rule induction to generate a model for classifying sources most likely to contain information responsive to a query.
Another object is a system and method for generating a training set of documents in an information network and using disjunctive normal form rules to create a model of sources in the network.
These and other objects, features and advantages are achieved in an information retrieval system and method for automatically and optimally selecting sources for a query in an information network, e.g., the Internet, using supervised learning and/or taxonomic grouping. The network includes means for generating a user query to obtain a list of all available data sources relevant to the query in an information network. A supervised machine learning technique called "Rule Induction" is used to provide automated selection of desired sources based on the user's query. A model is generated for classifying such sources by applying rule induction techniques on a random collection of documents (training set) in the sources. The training set is created from a random sample of 90% of the documents in each source. The remaining 10% is used as the test set for refining the model. A dictionary is created to define features and attributes representing individual sources. All documents are transformed into a set of samples comprising a feature, a word or phrase and a source name used in the dictionary. A prior art algorithm is used to recognize patterns in the sets of samples to distinguish one source from another and generate a set of Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF) Rules, as a model, representing each source. The model is refined and classification errors are reduced by applying the DNF rules to the test set. When a query is defined in terms of features/attributes and inputted, the model predicts the top "N" sources most likely to contain documents satisfying the query. By grouping sources together in taxonomic classifications, a model can be generated to have DNF rules representing each taxonomy classification rather than each source, and the resulting model further enhances source selection for user queries.
The invention will be further understood in conjunction with a description of a preferred embodiment taken together with an appended drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a representation of one embodiment of a prior art information network to which the invention is applicable.
FIG. 2 is a representation of operations employed in source selection in the information network of FIG. 1 and incorporating the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram re-stating the operations in FIG. 2 for automatic and optimal source selection to a user query in an information network.
FIG. 1 discloses a distributed information network, e.g., Internet 10 including a plurality of routers 12, 12' for connecting servers 141 -14n to users U1 . . . Un having access to the servers through a Personal Computer (PC) or the like station 161 . . . 16n. The Internet and its operation are described in a text "How to Use the Internet" by J. Eddings, published by Ziff-Davis Press, Emeryville, Calif., 1994 (ISBN 1-56276-192-7). Each server includes one or more storage disks 18 containing sources or databases or Uniform Resource Locators (URL) for automated searching by Internet users. Standard search engines, e.g., Lycos developed by Carnegie-Mellon University or Yahoo developed by Stanford University are available to the users for searching the databases in response to a user query. The present invention addresses the problem of automatically and optimally selecting sources in the network 10 which most likely contain relevant documents to a query entered into the network 10 by a user through a station 16.
In FIG. 2, a plurality of data sources 201 . . . 20n, each source containing a plurality of documents 221 . . . 22n are available for searching in response to a query entered into the system 10 by a user. The data sources are stored in the databases 18 associated with the servers 14 (See FIG. 1). As a solution to providing an automatic and optimal selection of desired data sources for user queries, a form of supervised machine learning called "Rule Induction" generates a model for classifying the sources 20 for query searching. The model is then used for predicting the top "N" sources most likely to contain documents that satisfy a user's query. As an overview, "Rule Induction" takes a sample set of documents called a training set and derives "Disjunctive Normal Form Rules" representative of the model which is descriptive of the data sources 20. "Rule Induction" is often the preferred approach to classification modelling and prediction due to the enhanced capability and interpretability of decision rules in responding to user queries.
In order to use Rule-based Induction a set of training documents 24 is collected from each source 20. The training set 24 is created by a random set of documents from each source, typically about 90% of the documents with the remaining 10% of the documents forming a test set 26. After formation of the training set 24 and the test set 26, a dictionary 28 is created to define the features and attributes of each source. A feature can be a single word or phrase descriptive of a source. An attribute is a characteristic of a source. The dictionary can be created semi-automatically with the aid of a human expert as well as a computer or created completely automatically using the technique described in a paper entitled "Automatic Learning of Decision Rules for Text Categorization" by C. Apte, et al., published in the ACM Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering at pp. 233-251, 1994. Briefly, the article discloses the creation of universal dictionaries, i.e dictionaries derived from the full collection of documents on all topics. Both single words and word pairs are entered in the dictionaries. The single word and pair lists are merged, sorted by frequency, and only those terms in the most frequent 10,000 are retained. The list is further reduced by eliminating the bottom ranking terms and also by eliminating all function terms.
A feature analysis 30 is performed for each document in a source using the dictionary to represent each document in terms of its features and associated source name. Rule induction 32 is applied to the training set to recognize patterns in the features and attributes to distinguish sources from one another. Rule generation 33 is applied to the training set expressed in terms of features/attributes and source name. A prior art algorithm entitled "Rules Abstraction for Modelling and Prediction (RAMP)" by C. Apte et al, published by IBM Research Division, Technical Report RC-20271 at Yorktown, N.Y. RAMP generates a set of Disjunctive Normal Form Rules as a classification model descriptive of the training set. Briefly, RAMP discloses an algorithm which generates "minimal" classification rules from tabular data sets where one of the columns is a "class"variable and the remaining columns are "independent" features. The data set is completely discretized (i.e continuous valued features are discretized into a finite set of discrete values, categorical features are left untouched) prior to rule generation. While the RAMP approach to generating classification rules is similar to techniques that directly generate rules from data, RAMP's primary approach strives for a "minimal" rule set that is complete and consistent with training data. The core heuristics in the RAMP rule generation system for achieving minimality consists of iterating (for a reasonable number of rounds) over two key sub-sets. A generalization step takes each rule in the current set (initially each example is a rule) and opportunisticaly generalizes it to remove other rules that are subsumed. A specialization/reformulation step takes each rule in the current set and specializes it to the most specific rule necessary to continue covering only the unique examples. Redundant rules disappear during this step. This annealing-like approach may be potentially indefinite. However, a limit is used that controls how long the system should keep iterating without observing a reduction. If no reduction takes place within the limit, RAMP stops the minimization process.
A rule evaluation 36 is performed after test set rules 34 are generated following the procedures described in operations 30, 32 and 33. Any difference between the training and test set rules are adjusted to satisfy both sets from a DNF rule standpoint. A final classification model 38 is represented as a set of DNF rules with a set representing each source. The final classification model 38 automatically and optimally selects the top "N" sources 40 in response to a user 16 inputting a query 38 expressed in terms of features and attributes and represented as a DNF rule 39.
In FIG. 3, a method of the present invention is as follows:
An operation 301 obtains a random set of documents representing approximately 90% from each source to form a training set. The remaining 10% documents are used as a test set.
An operation 303 creates a dictionary of words or phrases indicative of the features and attributes of each source. The dictionary may be created with the aid of a human expert or automatically using the technique described in the paper "Automated Learning of Decision Rules for Text Categorization", supra.
An operation 305 performs feature analysis to decide which words/phrases represent features important toward classifying a document into a given source for the training and test sets.
An operation 307 converts the documents in the training set into features and attributes descriptive of the sources. An operation 309 performs pattern analysis on the features expressed for each document to distinguish one source from another. The pattern analysis may be performed by an algorithm RAMP, supra, and generates a set of DNF rules for each source definitive of the documents in the source expressed in terms of features and attributes. The DNF rules represent a classification model for the training set for query searching expressed in terms of features and attributes represented in terms of DNF rules.
An operation 311 is performed to refine the source model after the test set is expressed in terms of features/attributes and related DNF rules. The operation 311 is completed when any classification error between the training and test sets expressed in terms of DNF rules is minimized by iterating operations 305, 307 and 309 for the sets. A final classification is established for each source expressed in terms of a set of DNF rules in an operation 313. An operation 315 applies a user query in terms of features and attributes against the classification model to obtain a prediction of a top `N` sources most likely to contain documents satisfying the query, after which the method ends.
Automatic and optimal selection of sources for a user query to a distributive information network can be further enhanced by assigning each source to a registration database in which an additional attribute, such as a taxonomic grouping, can be assigned to each document. Taxonomic grouping allows DNF rules to be generated following the method described in FIG. 3 for each taxonomic group rather than sources. The taxonomic groupings result in fewer individual groupings than sources and speed the automatic and optimal selection of documents most likely responsive to a user query.
While the invention has been described in terms of a specific embodiment, various changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims in which:

Results from a government-sponsored clinical trial of inactivated 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine in people with asthma indicate that a single dose of vaccine was safe and induced a strong immune response predictive of protection. The findings also suggest that individuals over the age of 60 who have severe asthma may require a larger dose of vaccine.
The study was cosponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), two components of the National Institutes of Health, and appears online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
"Asthma was the most common underlying health condition among those hospitalized in the United States with 2009 H1N1 influenza infection during the 2009-2010 influenza season," says NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. "The results of this clinical trial show that the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine was safe and led to adequate production of antibodies thought to be protective against the virus. This is important because the H1N1 vaccine is one component of the seasonal influenza vaccine currently being distributed for the 2010-2011 influenza season."
People with asthma are at risk for developing severe disease when infected with the influenza virus. In addition, there is concern that the long term use of corticosteroids, which are used to control asthma symptoms and known to suppress the immune system, by people with severe asthma might affect their ability to mount a healthy immune response to the vaccine.
"This study shows patients and their doctors that it is safe and effective to get the flu vaccination while they continue to take the corticosteroid medications necessary to keep their asthma under control," says NHLBI Acting Director Susan B. Shurin, M.D.
In late 2009, NIH rapidly designed and sponsored a clinical study to determine the dose and number of doses of the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine needed to safely

Erie Otters goaltender Oscar Dansk seems to have taken his game to another level this season in the OHL, as have his teammates. Dasnk's improvement has carried over into the 2014 World Junior Championship, where he is an integral part of Sweden's undefeated run to the tournament's semi-finals.
2014 WJC Video: Sebastian Collberg, Sweden
While his season with the Frolunda Indians of the SHL hasn't been an offensively productive one, Team Sweden forward Sebastian Collberg is doing at the 2014 World Junior Championship what he has done at previous WJC's, namely generating offense.
2014 WJC Video: Linus Arnesson and Erik Karlsson, Sweden
Sweden remains perfect after five games at the 2014 World Junior Championship as the team prepares for their semi-final showdown with Russia. The Swedes are in that position by virtue of their convincing 6-0 win over Slovakia in the quarterfinals.
2014 WJC Podcast: Balanced Sweden looking to knock off upstart Slovakia squad
As the host team for the 2014 World Junior Championship, Sweden has so far avoided the trap of being a highly-favored host that suffers an ignominious defeat at the hands of a weaker opponent. But the stakes get a little higher for the Swedes with the end of the preliminary round and the start of the playoff round, which sees them facing plucky Slovakia in their quarterfinal match.
2014 WJC Video: Jacob de la Rose, Sweden
With the clock winding down in regulation and the score deadlocked at 2, Sweden forward Jacob de la Rose drifted towards the front of the Russian goal to deflect a shot by Gustav Olofsson past Russia's goaltender Andrey Vasilevskiy to give Sweden the 3-2 lead and the win at the 2014 World Junior Championship.

The US will deploy 14 additional ground-based defence missiles against the growing threat from North Korea, Chuck Hagel, the US defence secretary, has announced.
The interceptors will be based in Fort Greely, Alaska.
In addition, new radar capability will be installed in Japan to track any missiles fired by North Korea, Hagel said on Friday.
The US already has 30 interceptors in place in California and Alaska and the additional weaponry would be fielded by 2017, he said.
The move was designed to "stay ahead of the threat" posed by North Korea's advances in technology for an intercontinental ballistic missile, Hagel said.
The increase will represent a near 50-per-cent increase over the current programme of 30 interceptor facilities.

"The United States has missile defence systems in place to protect us from limited ICBM attacks, but North Korea in particular has recently made advances in its capabilities and is engaged in a series of irresponsible and reckless provocations," he said.
Hagel's announcement came just days after James Clapper, director of national intelligence, told US Congress that North Korea was close to deploying a new mobile intercontinental missile system.
"We believe North Korea has already taken initial steps towards fielding this system, although it remains untested," Clapper said on Tuesday.
It was the first public statement by a senior Obama administration official about the new mobile system.
North Korea has missiles that can strike South Korea and Japan but has yet to demonstrate it has the capability to fire long-range ICBMs.
US officials worry, however, that the North has made progress on that front, having put a satellite into orbit, while its nuclear weapons programme underlines concerns over the potential danger.
North Korea has issued a wave of drastic threats in recent days and announced it has abandoned the 60-year-old armistice that ended the Korean War.
