In this paper we discuss two data models for spatial database systems: the linear data model and the topological data model. Both can be used to model a wide range of applications....
Although many variants of language models have been proposed for information retrieval, there are two related retrieval heuristics remaining “external” to the language modelin...
We present a dynamic near-regular texture (NRT) tracking algorithm nested in a lattice-based Markov-Random-Field (MRF) model of a 3D spatiotemporal space. One basic observation use...
Background: Software tools that model and simulate the dynamics of biological processes and systems are becoming increasingly important. Some of these tools offer sophisticated gr...
On a high level of abstraction a Web Information System (WIS) can be described by a storyboard, which stract way specifies who will be using the system, in which way and for which...
