The classical probabilistic models attempt to capture the Ad hoc information retrieval problem within a rigorous probabilistic framework. It has long been recognized that the prim...
We study three new techniques which will speed up the branch-and-bound algorithm for the MAX-2-SAT problem: The first technique is a new lower bound function for the algorithm an...
The paper proposes an adaptive web system--that is, a website that is capable of changing its original design to fit user requirements. For the purpose of improving shortcomings o...
In unstructured peer-to-peer networks, controlled flooding aims at locating an item at the minimum message cost. Dynamic querying is a new controlled flooding technique. While i...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) applications sense events in-situ and compute results in-network. Their software components should run on platforms with stringent constraints on nod...
