The sparse data is becoming increasingly common and available in many real-life applications. However, relative little attention has been paid to effectively model the sparse data ...
We exploit the spreadsheet metaphor to make deductive problem-solving methods available to the vast population of spreadsheet end users. In particular, we show how the function-bas...
DHT is a widely used building block for scalable P2P systems. However, as uniform hashing employed in DHTs destroys data locality, it is not a trivial task to support complex queri...
The RETE algorithm is a very efficient option for the development of a rule-based system, but it supports only boolean, first order logic. Many real-world contexts, instead, requir...
The Sort operation is a core part of many critical applications. Despite the large efforts to parallelize it, the fact that it suffers from high data-dependencies vastly limits it...

When the workflow application is executed in Service-Oriented Grid (SOG), performance issues such as service scheduling should be considered, to achieve high and stable performance...
Abstract--In this paper, a new algorithm for vehicle logo recognition on the basis of an enhanced scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT)-based feature-matching scheme is proposed...

The agent computing paradigm is rapidly emerging as one of the powerful technologies for the development of largescale distributed systems to deal with the uncertainty in a dynamic...
