Implicit query systems examine a document and automatically conduct searches for the most relevant information. In this paper, we offer three contributions to implicit query resea...
We consider the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a given multicast connection in a wireless network of energyconstrained (e.g. battery-operated) nodes, by choosing ideal tran...
We present a new approach for personalizing Web search results to a specific user. Ranking functions for Web search engines are typically trained by machine learning algorithms u...

Today user-centered information acquisition over collections of complex XML documents is increasingly in demand. To this end, preferences have become an important paradigm enablin...
Two new variants of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) called AMPSO1 and AMPSO2 are proposed for global optimization problems. Both the algorithms use adaptive mutation using Beta ...
