In this paper we address the problem of query answering and rewriting in global-as-view data integration systems, when key and inclusion dependencies are expressed on the global i...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are known to provide excellent scalability in a networked environment. One peer is introduced to the system by each participant. However current P2P app...
Similarity calculations and document ranking form the computationally expensive parts of query processing in ranking-based text retrieval. In this work, for these calculations, 11...
Assessing spatial scenes for similarity is difficult from a cognitive and computational perspective. Solutions to spatial-scene similarity assessments are sensible only if corresp...
Abstract. The question answering systems are considered the next generation of search engines. This paper focuses on the first step of this process, which is to search for relevant...
