This paper presents a unified utility framework for resource selection of distributed text information retrieval. This new framework shows an efficient and effective way to infer ...
Recently the efficiency of an outlier detection algorithm ORCA was improved by RCS (Randomization with faster Cutoff update and Space utilization after pruning), which changes the ...
The Shortest Common Supersequence problem is a hard combinatorial optimization problem with numerous practical applications. Several evolutionary approaches are proposed for this p...
This article is devoted to adverse selection problems in which individual private information is a whole utility function and cannot be reduced to some finite-dimensional parameter...
A virtual database system is software that provides unified access to multiple information sources. If the sources are overlapping in their contents and independently maintained,...
