The large unstructured text collections demand full-text search capabilities from IR systems. Current systems typically allow users only to connect to a single database (or site) ...
Distributed computing on heterogeneous nodes, or grid computing, provides a substantial increase in computational power available for many applications. This paper reports our expe...
A novel (differential) entropy estimator is introduced where the maximum entropy bound is used to approximate the entropy given the observations, and is computed using a numerical ...
In this study, a new Genetic Algorithm (GA) using the Tabu · Local Search mechanism is proposed. The GA described in this paper is considered a Mega Process GA, which has an effe...
In many distributed computing paradigms, especially sensor networks and ubiquitous computing but also grid computing and web services, programmers commonly tie their application to...
