: The aim of this paper is to present an approach and automated tools for designing knowledge bases describing the contents of information sources in PICSEL2 knowledgediators. We a...
Despite increasingly distributed internet information sources with diverse storage formats and access-control constraints, most of the end applications (e.g., filters and media p...
Two kinds of systems have been defined during the long history of WSD: principled systems that define which knowledge types are useful for WSD, and robust systems that use the info...
Rapid development of information technology such as mobile terminals and GPS systems enabled information services that provide location-oriented information based on users’ posit...
In this paper, we focus on addressing the tradeoffs between timeliness, accuracy and cost for applications requiring real-time information collection in distributed real-time envi...
: The number of information sources in the Web is growing day by day with a tremendous speed. At the same time, users tend to manage more and more tasks electronically, thereby usi...
Data integration is a significant challenge: relevant data objects are split across multiple information sources, and often owned by different organizations. The sources represent...
We present the InfoBeacons system, in which a peer-to-peer network of beacons cooperates to route queries to the best information sources. The routing in our system uses techniques...
Acoustic events produced in meeting-room-like environments may carry information useful for perceptually aware interfaces. In this paper, we focus on the problem of combining diffe...
This paper presents a Multi-agent System and a Methodology to select and to integrate heterogenous and distributed information sources to make recommendations. A set of intrinsic c...
