Abstract. We are presenting a coherent framework for XQuery processing that incorporates IR-style approximate matching and allows the ordering of results by their relevance score. ...
We present a new approach for simplifying polygonal objects. Our method is general in that it works on models that contain both non-manifold geometry and surface attributes. It is...
