Robert Rosen’s central theorem states that organisms are fundamentally different to machines, mainly because they are ‘‘closed with respect to effcient causation.’’ The p...
Content storage in a distributed collaborative environment uses redundancy for better resilience and thus provides good availability and durability. In a peer-to-peer environment,...
In this work we present a novel method to model instance-level constraints within a clustering algorithm. Thereby, both similarity and dissimilarity constraints can be used coeval...
An indexing model is the heart of an Information Retrieval (IR) system. Data structures such as term based inverted indices have proved to be very effective for IR using vector sp...
An experimental study of MANET using 802.11b has shown that there exist several configurations where this standard does not guarantee fairness for the channel access. In this pap...
