Detecting structural similarities between XML documents has been the subject of several recent work, and the proposed algorithms mostly use tree edit distance between the correspo...
The PENG system is intended to provide an integrated and personalized environment for news professionals, providing functionalities for filtering, distributed retrieval, and a fle...
A significant challenge for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is maintaining the correctness and consistency of their global data structures and shared contents as peers independently a...
: Scalable Distributed Data Structures (SDDSs) store large scalable files over a distributed RAM of nodes in a grid or a P2P network. The files scale transparently for the applicat...
One of the pre-requisites for the realization of the Semantic Web vision are matching techniques which are capable of handling the open, dynamic and heterogeneous nature of the se...
We study inference rules for multivalued dependencies in relational databases with null values (NMVDs). The definition of NMVDs is dependent on the underlying relation schema and ...
We introduce the notion of opportunistic networks or oppnets, some of which can be considered a subclass of the peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Initially, a relatively small seed opp...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used for various ubiquitous and pervasive environments. A few common applications are security, agriculture, automation, and environmental moni...
This paper investigates the architecture and design of agent-based sensor networks for petroleum offshore monitoring. A few challenges to monitor the reservoir, wellbore and wellh...
