In the traditional data exchange setting, source instances are restricted to be complete in the sense that every fact is either true or false in these instances. Although natural ...
The advent of the mobile Web and the increasing demand for personalized contents arise the need for computationally expensive services, such as dynamic generation and on-thefly a...
Resource discovery is an important process for finding suitable nodes that satisfy application requirements in large loosely-coupled distributed systems. Besides inter-node heter...
