XML data integrity based on concatenated hash function (2009)
Journal Article
Liu, B., Lu, J., & Yip, Y. (2009). XML data integrity based on concatenated hash function. International journal of computer science and information security (Pittsburgh, Pa.), 1(1), 31-40

Data integrity is the fundamental for data authentication. A major problem for XML data authentication is that signed XML data can be copied to another document but still keep signature valid. This is caused by XML data integrity protecting. Through... Read More about XML data integrity based on concatenated hash function.

An order-clique-based approach for mining maximal co-locations (2009)
Journal Article
Wang, L., Zhou, L., Lu, J., & Yip, Y. (2009). An order-clique-based approach for mining maximal co-locations. Information Sciences, 179(19), 3370-3382. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2009.05.023

Most algorithms for mining spatial co-locations adopt an Apriori-like approach to generate size-k prevalence co-locations after size-(k − 1) prevalence co-locations. However, generating and storing the co-locations and table instances is costly. A no... Read More about An order-clique-based approach for mining maximal co-locations.
