End-user programming provides a unique opportunity to study informal computer science education and knowledge acquisition in the real world. We seek to explore the use of communit...
Data encapsulation is a familiar property in object-oriented programming. It is not only useful for modelling things in the real world, but it also facilitates reuse by enabling th...
Abstract. This paper presents a method for making metadata conforming to heterogeneous schemas semantically interoperable. The idea is to make the knowledge embedded in the schema ...
The use of monolithic neural networks (such as a multilayer perceptron) has some drawbacks: e.g. slow learning, weight coupling, the black box effect. These can be alleviated by t...
This paper presents an integrated database benchmark suite, which is named SIMS. SIMS offers generic benchmarks, custom benchmarks, and hybrid benchmarks to users on a unified Web ...
