Modern scientific applications consume massive volumes of data produced by computer simulations. Such applications require new data management capabilities in order to scale to te...
Abstract. Software architecture constitutes a promising approach to the development of large-scale distributed systems, but architecture description languages (ADLs) and their asso...
Progressive processing allows a system to satisfy a set of requests under time pressure by limiting the amount of processing allocated to each task based on a predefined hierarchic...
This paper describes a new finite-state shallow parser. It merges constructive and reductionist approaches within a highly modular architecture. Syntactic information is added at ...
