Query expansion is extensively applied in information retrieval systems, such as search engines. Most conventional approaches to query expansion have been developed based on textua...
The convergence of the Grid and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) worlds has led to many solutions that try to efficiently solve the problem of resource discovery on Grids. Some of these solutio...
The tuple space model inspired by Linda has recently been rediscovered by distributed middleware. Moreover, some researchers also applied it in the challenging scenarios involving...
We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
The advances in wireless communication and decreasing costs of mobile devices have enabled users to access desired information at any time. Coupled with positioning technologies l...
