Due to the lack of efficient native XML database management systems, XML data manipulation and query evaluation may be resource-consuming, and represent a bottleneck for several ...
Performance evaluation of document recognition systems is a difficult and practically important problem. Issues arise in defining requirements, in characterizing the system's...
To address the problem of algorithm selection for the classification task, we equip a relational case base with new similarity measures that are able to cope with multirelational ...
Following the work of Stephens and coworkers on the coarse-grained dynamics of genetic systems, we work towards a possible generalisation in the context of genetic algorithms, givi...
Layered architectures are a proven principle for the design of software systems and components. The paper introduces a layered reference architecture for software agents which assi...
