This paper discusses a novel distributed adaptive algorithm and representation used to construct populations of adaptive Web agents. These InfoSpiders browse networked information ...
PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain obtained by perturbing the transition matrix of a web graph with a damping factor that spreads part of the rank. The...
—Recently proposed beaconless georouting algorithms are fully reactive, with nodes forwarding packets without prior knowledge of their neighbors. However, existing approaches for...
There has been an explosion of hyperlinked data in many domains, e.g., the biological Web. Expressive query languages and effective ranking techniques are required to convert this...
In this paper we present an algorithm for generating quadratic assignment problem (QAP) instances with known provably optimal solution. The flow matrix of such instances is constru...
