The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
The prediction of collisions amongst N rigid objects may be reduced to a series of computations of the time to first contact for all pairs of objects. Simple enclosing bounds and...
Expert systems (ESs) are complex information systems that are expensive to build and difficult to validate. Numerous knowledge representation strategies such as rules, semantic net...
Image classification is a well-studied and hard problem in computer vision. We extend a proven solution for classifying web spam to handle images. We exploit the link structure of...
The paper proposes an approach to content dissemination that exploits the structural properties of XML Document Object Model in order to provide efficient dissemination by at the...
