Abstract. The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such t...
We consider the use of a cluster of PC servers for Application Service Providers where applications and databases must remain autonomous. We use data replication to improve data av...
This paper presents a novel method for extracting information from collections of Web pages across different sites. Our method uses a standard wrapper induction algorithm and explo...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been applied successfully in solving the Traveling Salesman Problem. Marco Dorigo et al. used Ant System (AS) to explore the Symmetric Traveling S...
In this paper, we propose new dominance relations that can speed up significantly the solution process of nonlinear constrained dynamic optimization problems in discrete time and...
