In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Elements of transaction processing become more and more accepted as a base for general purpose distributed computing.We have developed an action concept with an extended functiona...
In this paper, we propose a new probabilistic generative model, called Topic-Perspective Model, for simulating the generation process of social annotations. Different from other g...
