The composition of services that are indexed in a large-scale service directory often involves many complex queries issued by the service composition algorithm to the directory. Th...
Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) are the basis for building monitoring tools that enable the supervision of local and remote systems. DASs are complex systems. It is difficult for de...
In this paper we study how to build an effective incremental crawler. The crawler selectively and incrementally updates its index and/or local collection of web pages, instead of ...
In this paper, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 3G1 we consider how to exploit multiple disks to improve the performance of B-tree ...
Abstract. A genetic algorithm is used to learn a non-deterministic Petri netbased model of non-linear gene interactions, or statistical epistasis. Petri nets are computational mode...
