Inter-business collaborative contexts prefigure a distributed scenario where companies organize and coordinate themselves to develop common and shared opportunities. Traditional b...
Many researchers are devising algorithms for task placement in distributed systems, but few are designing the necessary mechanisms to provide the information required by those alg...

We introduce a new model for semantic annotation and retrieval from image databases. The new model is based on a probabilistic formulation that poses annotation and retrieval as c...
