I currently have over 500 publications, which include book chapters, and refereed publications which have appeared as either journal or conference papers. Since I have retired as a Chancellor's Professor Emeritus at Carleton, I have stopped actively updating the number of publications. The publications listed reflect the results that I have obtained in the various areas that I have worked in, and with those whom I have collaborated (worldwide) over the years.

Please contact me and I will send you the list of papers that I am currently working on, by mail.

1. Search-Enhanced Trie-Based Syntactic Pattern Recognition of Sequences. Inventors: Ghada Badr and B. John Oommen. U.S. and Canada. U.S Patent No. 7,689,588 issued on March 30, 2010. Canadian Patent No. 2,608,772 issued on March 22, 2013. Click here for an overview.

Significance of the Patent: This patent solves the problem of achieving the syntactic pattern recognition of sequences, when the dictionary is stored as a trie. The competing patent was invented by Risvik, and our invention is, in some cases, five times faster than Risvik's.


2. A Method For Encryption with Statistical Perfect Secrecy. Inventors: B. John Oommen and Luis G. Rueda. U.S., Canada, and in some other countries. U.S. Patent No. 7,508,935 issued on March 24, 2009. Canadian Patent No. 2,460,863 issued on April 26, 2011. Click here for an overview.

To view the results of the FIPS-140-2 tests and other statistical tests on files encrypted with this encryption Click here .

Significance of the Patent: This patent solves a compression-based problem that was reported to be unsolved in the standard textbooks. Using this solution, we were able to invent an encryption which provided Statistical Perfect Secrecy. We believe that our solution is still the only one known for this problem.


3. Method of Comparing the Closeness of a Target Tree to Other Trees Using Noisy Subsequence Tree Processing. Inventor: B. John Oommen. U.S. and Canada. U.S. Patent No. 7,278,026 issued on October 23, 2007. Canadian Patent No. 2,386,578 issued on June 8, 2010. For an overview click here. For information on Drug Design click here, or find more information here.
   

Significance of the Patent: This patent solves the problem of recognizing noisy subsequence trees. To the best of our knowledge, our patented solution is still the only patented invention which solves the problem.


4. A Method of Generating Attribute Cardinality Maps. Inventor: B. John Oommen and Murali Thiyagarajah. U.S. and Canada. U.S Patent No. 6,865,567 issued on March 8, 2005. Canadian Patent No. 2,279,359 issued on March 16, 2012. For an overview click here.
   

Significance of the Patent: All the database systems (ORACLE, DB2, Sybase etc.) achieve query optimization using the equi-depth histogram. This patent presents two new histogram methods, namely the Rectangular Attribute Cardinality Map and the Trapezoidal Attribute Cardinality Map. Both of these estimate the query result sizes more accurately than the equi-depth histogram, and thus yield significantly superior query optimization.

I have presented seminars and talks at various conferences, universities and research centers in probably 40 countries including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, France, Holland, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, the UK, the USA etc.
