We are interested in computing the Fermi-Dirac matrix function in which the matrix argument is the Hamiltonian matrix arising from Density Function Theory (DFT) applications. More...
COTS components, like software libraries, can be used to reduce the development effort. Unfortunately, many COTS components have been developed without a focus on robustness and s...
We present a “black-box” approach to estimating query cardinality that has no knowledge of query execution plans and data distribution, yet provides accurate estimates. It doe...
Supporting multimedia search has emerged as an important research topic. There are three paradigms on the research spectrum that ranges from the least automatic to the most automat...
We propose a methodology for a novel type of discourse annotation whose model is tuned to the analysis of a text as narrative. This is intended to be the basis of a "story ba...
