The fundamental difference between standard information retrieval and XML retrieval is the unit of retrieval. In traditional IR, the unit of retrieval is fixed: it is the comple...

Interacting State Machines (ISMs) are used to model reactive systems and to express and verify their properties. They can be seen both as automata exchanging messages simultaneousl...
Query expansion has been shown effective for both single database retrieval and for distributed information retrieval where complete collection information is available. One might...
