The neighbourhood function NG(t) of a graph G gives, for each t ∈ N, the number of pairs of nodes x, y such that y is reachable from x in less that t hops. The neighbourhood fun...
We present SenseWeb, an open and scalable infrastructure for sharing and geocentric exploration of sensor data streams. SenseWeb allows sensor owners to share data streams across ...
Background: Genome-wide identification of specific oligonucleotides (oligos) is a computationallyintensive task and is a requirement for designing microarray probes, primers, and ...
In some retrieval situations, a system must search across multiple collections. This task, referred to as federated search, occurs for example when searching a distributed index o...
