There are various techniques for simulating crowds, however, in most cases the quality of the simulation is measured by examining its “look-and-feel”. Even if the aggregate mov...
In XML databases, materializing queries and their results into views in a semantic cache can improve the performance of query evaluation by reducing computational complexity and I...
We demonstrate NetTrails, a declarative platform for maintaining and interactively querying network provenance in a distributed system. Network provenance describes the history an...
