Truth and absolute truth in neutrosophic logic
As a philosophical analysis of some fatal paradoxes, the paper distinguishes the conceptual difference between representation of truth and source of truth, and leads to the conclusion that in order to acquire the genuine source of truth, independently of specific representations possibly belonging to different worlds, one is necessary to ignore all the ideas, logics, conceptions, philosophies and representable knowledge even himself belonging to those misleading worlds, returning to his infant nature, as a preliminary step for his cultivation of unconstrained wisdom. It also carries out some coordinative crucial issues as natural-doctrine, minded-unwitting, logic-infancy, conception-deconception, determinacy-indeterminacy. The paper tries to verify the role of neutrosophy and neutrosophic logic in religious issues and open a gateway toward the oriental classics, excavating the lost treasure.

Intentionally and unintentionally: on both, A and non-A, in neutrosophy
The paper presents a fresh new start on the neutrality of neutrosophy in that "both A and Non-A" as an alternative to describe Neuter-A in that we conceptualize things in both intentional and unintentional background. This unity of opposites constitutes both objective world and subjective world. The whole induction of such argument is based on the intensive study on Buddhism and Daoism including I-ching. In addition, a framework of contradiction oriented learning philosophy inspired from the Later Trigrams of King Wen in I-ching is meanwhile presented. It is shown that although A and Non-A are logically inconsistent, but they are philosophically consistent in the sense that Non-A can be the unintentionally instead of negation that leads to confusion. It is also shown that Buddhism and Daoism play an important role in neutrosophy, and should be extended in the way of neutrosophy to all sciences according to the original intention of neutrosophy.

An Adaptive Grid Method and Its Application to Steady Euler Flow Calculations
An adaptive remeshing procedure based on a cell volume deformation method is presented. Starting with an initial grid, this method offers direct cell volume control through the specification of the transformation Jacobian. Grid points are moved with appropriate grid velocities so that the specified cell volume distribution can be achieved at the end of the grid movement without adding or removing grid points. The grid velocities are determined by solving a scalar Poisson equation. This method is applied to solving the compressible Euler equations. Computational test cases of transonic flow over an airfoil are presented and demonstrate the desired control of grid sizes across shock waves.

Level-Set-Based Deformation Methods for Adaptive Grids
A new method for generating adaptive moving grids is formulated based on physical quantities. Level set functions are used to construct the adaptive grids, which are solutions of the standard level set evolution equation with the Cartesian coordinates as initial values. The intersection points of the level sets of the evolving functions form a new grid at each time. The velocity vector in the evolution equation is chosen according to a monitor function and is equal to the node velocity. A uniform grid is then deformed to a moving grid with desired cell volume distribution at each time. The method achieves precise control over the Jacobian determinant of the grid mapping as the traditional deformation method does. The new method is consistent with the level set approach to dynamic moving interface problems.

Context-Sensitive Kernel Functions: A Distance Function Viewpoint
This paper extends the idea of weighted distance functions to kernels and support vector machines. Here, we focus on applications that rely on sliding a window over a sequence of string data. For this type of problems it is argued that a symbolic, context-based representation of the data should be preferred over a continuous, real format as this is a much more intuitive setting for working with (weighted) distance functions. It is shown how a weighted string distance can be decomposed and subsequently used in different kernel functions and how these kernel functions correspond to real kernels between the continuous, real representations of the symbolic, context-based representations of the vectors.

Research on System Integrative Evaluation Method Based on Survivability
Survivability is the essential ability of a system to fulfill its mission, in a timely manner, in the presence of attacks, failures, or accidents. Survivability should be considered beyond security for information system, and quantitative analysis can assess system survivability accurately for improvement. The paper presents a new type of analysis method for computer system survivability which considers both exterior environment and interior components and their correlations. The method can describe the survivability more precisely and exactly. The paper also elaborates on the process of using this method to evaluate system survivability and its advantages.

A Hybrid Motion Data Manipulation: Wavelet Based Motion Processing and Spacetime Rectification
In this paper, we present a hybrid approach to motion data manipulation. Motion signal is decomposed into multi-resolution levels with wavelet analysis. The coarse level represents the globe pattern of a motion signal while the fine levels describe the individual styles. Special motion style can be highlighted through enhancing the corresponding level content and can be fused into other motions by texturing them with related fine levels. And multiple motions can be synthesized by multi-resolution blending to create new motions somehow like to the blended motions. Motion signals implicitly preserve constraints to keep realistic. However, the above manipulations may inviolate some constraints and result in the unrealistic artifact. Spacetime rectification is proposed to reserve the essential constraints. Our experiment shows the effectiveness of this hybrid motion data manipulation approach.

An adaptable architecture for secure delivery of converged services
We present an approach for secure delivery of multimodal services to end users over heterogeneous converged networks. Our approach leads to an easily adaptable and extensible system architecture, in which system components interact with each other through loosely coupled interfaces based on asynchronous exchange of messages. It also effectively separates service logic from service delivery, through the introduction of a secure broker between the end user devices and the enterprise level application that contains the service logic. This separation also provides additional levels of security at the application level. This paper describes how our approach provides the features mentioned above. We have also validated our approach through the implementation of a prototype system, a description of which is also provided.

A Low Complexity MPEG Video Decoder with Arbitrary Downscaling Capability
This paper presents some new techniques to implement arbitrary downscaling in decoding MPEG video with very low complexity. The DCT block recomposition method, which was used in resizing static image, is introduced to downscale video in frequency domain with arbitrary factors. New motion compensation based on the block group motion evaluation is proposed to correspond to the downscaled IDCT. Block groups of regular motion and irregular motion are handled respectively to balance the computation cost and picture quality. Analysis indicates the great complexity reduction and experiments show the decoder performance on the MPEG-4 video sequence. These techniques will be beneficial to the video applications on the mobile devices and many other low end embedded systems
