Energy constrained systems such as sensor networks can increase their usable lifetimes by extracting energy from their environment. However, environmental energy will typically no...
As traditional media and information devices integrate with the web, they must suddenly support a vastly larger database of relevant items. Many devices use remote controls with o...
Traditional adaptive filtering systems learn the user’s interests in a rather simple way – words from relevant documents are favored in the query model, while words from irre...
Ontologies and spreading activation are known terms within the scope of information retrieval. In this paper we introduce SPREADR, an integrated adaptation mechanism for web appli...
In ongoing research, a collaborative peer network application is being proposed to address the scalability limitations of centralized search engines. Here we introduce a local ada...
