Agrawal 8.1 Historical Perspective The use of light for communication purposes dates back to antiquity if we interpret optical communication in a broad sense, implying any communication scheme that makes use of light. Most civilizations have used mirrors, fire beacons, or smoke signals to convey a single piece of information (such as victory in a war). For example, it is claimed that the Greeks constructed in 1084 B.C. a 500-km-long line of fire beacons to convey the news of the fall of Troy [1].

  • A Framework for Ontology-Based Library Data Generation, Access and Exploitation
    Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Departamento de Inteligencia Artificial DOCTORADO EN INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL A framework for ontology-based library data generation, access and exploitation Doctoral Dissertation of: Daniel Vila-Suero Advisors: Prof. Asunción Gómez-Pérez Dr. Jorge Gracia 2 i To Adelina, Gustavo, Pablo and Amélie Madrid, July 2016 ii Abstract Historically, libraries have been responsible for storing, preserving, cata- loguing and making available to the public large collections of information re- sources. In order to classify and organize these collections, the library commu- nity has developed several standards for the production, storage and communica- tion of data describing different aspects of library knowledge assets. However, as we will argue in this thesis, most of the current practices and standards available are limited in their ability to integrate library data within the largest information network ever created: the World Wide Web (WWW). This thesis aims at providing theoretical foundations and technical solutions to tackle some of the challenges in bridging the gap between these two areas: library science and technologies, and the Web of Data. The investigation of these aspects has been tackled with a combination of theoretical, technological and empirical approaches. Moreover, the research presented in this thesis has been largely applied and deployed to sustain a large online data service of the National Library of Spain: datos.bne.es. Specifically, this thesis proposes and eval- uates several constructs, languages, models and methods with the objective of transforming and publishing library catalogue data using semantic technologies and ontologies. In this thesis, we introduce marimba-framework, an ontology- based library data framework, that encompasses these constructs, languages, mod- els and methods.

  • Implementing Secure Applications Thanks to an Integrated Secure Element
    Implementing Secure Applications Thanks to an Integrated Secure Element Sylvain Guilley1;2;3 a, Michel Le Rolland4 and Damien Quenson4 1Secure-IC S.A.S., Tour Montparnasse, 27th floor, 75015 Paris, France 2TELECOM-Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, 19 Place Marguerite Perey, 91120 Palaiseau, France 3École Normale Supérieure, 45 rue d’Ulm, Département d’informatique, CNRS, PSL University, 75005 Paris, France 4Secure-IC S.A.S. Headquarters, 15 rue Claude Chappe, Bât. B, 35510 Cesson-Sévigné, France Keywords: Integrated Secure Element, Host Protection, Certification Schemes, Security Flexibility, Internet of Things. Abstract: More and more networked applications require security, with keys managed at the end-point. However, tradi- tional Secure Elements have not been designed to be connected. There is thus a need to bridge the gap, and novel kinds of Secure Elements have been introduced in this respect. Connectivity has made it possible for a single chip to implement multiple usages. For instance, in a smart- phone, security is about preventing the device from being rooted, but also about enabling user’s online privacy. Therefore, Secure Elements shall be compatible with multiple requirements for various vertical markets (e.g., payment, contents protection, automotive, etc.). The solution to this versatility is the integration of the Secure Element within the device main chip. Such approach, termed iSE (integrated Secure Element), consists in the implementation of a subsystem, endowed to manage the chip security, within a host System-on-Chip. The iSE offers flexibility in the security deployment. However, natural questions that arise are: how to pro- gram security applications using an iSE? How to certify those applications, most likely according to several different schemes? This position paper addresses those questions, and comes up with some key concepts of on-chip security, in terms of iSE secure usage.

  • Telegraph: Early Postal Role
    Telegraph: Early Postal Role Before the 1830s, a "telegraph" was any system of sending messages over a distance without a physical exchange between the sender and receiver. The few telegraph systems then in operation were "optical telegraphs" — they did not transmit messages electronically, but visually, with people receiving and sending visible signals.1 Although chains of relay towers extended the reach of transmissions, optical telegraphs could not be used at night or in bad weather. Congressional Interest in Telegraphs In February 1837, Congress asked Secretary of the Treasury Levi Woodbury to investigate and report on the "propriety of establishing a system of telegraphs for the United States."2 This request was due at least in part to a petition of Captain Samuel C. Reid to establish a national telegraph system the month before.3 On March 10, 1837, Woodbury sent out a written request for information to knowledgeable persons. He received more than a dozen replies, including one from Samuel F. B. Morse, an art professor at New York University. All but one respondent discussed the feasibility of installing optical telegraphs along the country's coast lines. Morse, however, enthused at length about an "entirely new mode of telegraphic communication," one he conceived during an ocean voyage five years earlier — an electromagnetic telegraph.4 In a letter of September 27, 1837, Morse informed Woodbury that his electromagnetic telegraph would work "at any moment, irrespective of the time of day or night, or state of the weather," noting that "this single point" established "its superiority to all other modes of telegraphic communication now known." Another point in its favor was its ability to record messages, which meant messages could be received even if the device was unattended.
