The contribution of this paper includes three folders: (1) To introduce a topic-oriented query expansion model based on the Information Bottleneck theory that classify terms into ...
We simulate different architectures of a distributed Information Retrieval system on a very large Web collection, in order to work out the optimal setting for a particular set of r...
Elastic systems, either synchronous or asynchronous, can be optimized for the average-case performance when they have units with early evaluation or variable latency. The performan...

Application of the hierarchical Schur algorithm to the boundary element method for 3D capacitance extraction shifts the speed bottleneck from inversion of the influence matrix to...
This paper presents a load-based transmission scheduling (LoBaTS) protocol for wireless ad hoc networks. Since terminals in these networks may be required to forward unequal amoun...
