Many valuable text databases on the web have non-crawlable contents that are "hidden" behind search interfaces. Metasearchers are helpful tools for searching over many s...
This paper gives a quantum algorithm to search in an set S for a k-tuple satisfying some predefined relation, with the promise that some components of a desired k-tuple are in som...
The Distributed Information Search COmponent (Disco) is a prototype heterogeneous distributed database that accesses underlying data sources. The Disco prototype currently focuses...
Abstract. In this paper we develop a localized value-ordering heuristic for distributed resource allocation problems. We show how this value ordering heuristics can be used to achi...
