Though there exist some rules of thumb for design of good models for solving constraint satisfaction problems, the modeling process still belongs more to art than to science. Moreo...
The Distributed Probabilistic Protocol (DPP) is a new, approximate algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSPs) that exploits prior knowledge to impr...
This paper presents a new definition of context for contextaware computing based on a model that relies on dynamic queries over structured objects. This new model enables develop...

The variety of features available to represent multimedia data constitutes a rich pool of information. However, the plethora of data poses a challenge in terms of feature selectio...
Early speech retrieval experiments focused on news broadcasts, for which adequate Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) accuracy could be obtained. Like newspapers, news broadcasts a...
