This paper introduces a method for automatic composition of Semantic Web services using Linear Logic (LL) theorem proving. The method uses a Semantic Web service language (DAML-S)...
An essential element in defining the semantic of Web services is the domain knowledge. Medical informatics is one of the few domains to have considerable domain knowledge exposed ...
Service discovery is a critical aspect in the Service Oriented Computing approach. A model, a methodology and a tool environment based on ontologies are proposed in this paper. Th...

As databases increasingly integrate different types of information such as time-series, multimedia and scientific data, it becomes necessary to support efficient retrieval of mult...
Successful information management implies the ability to design accurate representations of the real world of interest, in spite of the diversity of perceptions from the applicati...
The objective of this study is to determine the right cycle management policy to service periodic soft real-time disk retrieval. Cycle based disk scheduling provides an effective ...
We propose a micro-benchmark for XML data management to aid engineers in designing improved XML processing engines. This benchmark is inherently different from application-level b...

The prediction of query performance is an interesting and important issue in Information Retrieval (IR). Current predictors involve the use of relevance scores, which are time-con...
Abstract. Terms which are not explicitly mentioned in the text of a document receive often a minor role in current retrieval systems. In this work we connect the management of such...
