Hierarchical peer to peer networks with multiple directory services are an important architecture for large-scale file sharing due to their effectiveness and efficiency. Recent ...
Most video retrieval systems are multimodal, commonly relying on textual information, low- and high-level semantic features extracted from query visual examples. In this work, we ...
The caching behavior of multimedia applications has been described as having high instruction reference locality within small loops, very large working sets, and poor data cache p...
In this paper, we propose a Quantified Distributed Constraint Optimization problem (QDCOP) that extends the framework of Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOPs). DCOP...
Many current effectiveness measures incorporate simplifying assumptions about user behavior. These assumptions prevent the measures from reflecting aspects of the search process...
