SEMEX: Toward On-the-Fly Personal Information Integration
On-the-y information integration attempts to change the basic cost-benefit equation association with building information integration applications. This paper argues that on-the-fly can be supported by extending one's personal information space. As a first step in this direction, they describe the Semex system that provides a logical and integrated view of one's personal information.

This paper presents the design of a new middleware which provides support for trust and accountability in distributed data sharing communities. One application is in the context of scientific collaborations. Multiple researchers share individually collected data, who in turn create new data sets by performing transformations on existing shared data sets. In data sharing communities building trust for the data obtained from others is crucial. However, the field of data provenance does not consider malicious or untrustworthy users. By adding accountability to the provenance of each data set, this middleware ensures data integrity insofar as any errors can be identified and corrected.

It is a long held and accepted legal tenet that a Presidential Executive Order has the force of law and is for all intent and purpose "the law of the land." Such Executive Orders have been issued from time to time by Presidents to meet specific national needs or executive prerogative. On January 29, 2000, a memorandum from the Counsel to the President presented the legal argument that a Presidential Directive had the same legal effectiveness as an Executive Order. Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, President Bush issues a series of Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) designed to improve the nation's posture of preparedness.

This paper presents HomeViews, a peer-to-peer middleware system for building personal data management applications. HomeViews provides abstractions and services for data organization and distributed data sharing. The key innovation in HomeViews is the integration of three concepts: views and queries from databases, a capability-based protection model from operating systems, and a peer-to-peer distributed architecture. Using HomeViews, applications can create views to organize files into dynamic collections, share these views in a protected way across the Internet through simple exchange of capabilities, and transparently integrate remote views and data into a user's local organizational structures. HomeViews operates in a purely peer-to-peer fashion, without the need for account administration or centralized data and protection management inherent in typical data-sharing systems.
