Indexing and ranking are two key factors for efficient and effective XML information retrieval. Inappropriate indexing may result in false negatives and false positives, and impro...
We present new results on classifying the morphology of the nonsingular intersection curve of two quadrics by studying the roots of the characteristic equation, or the discriminan...
Abstract. Phylogeny reconstruction from molecular data poses complex optimization problems: almost all optimization models are NP-hard and thus computationally intractable. Yet app...
As meta-data become of ever more importance to the Web, we will need to start managing such meta-data. We argue that there is a strong need for meta-data validation and aggregation...
We evaluate server selection methods in a Web environment, modeling a digital library which makes use of existing Web search servers rather than building its own index. The evalua...
