The tuple space coordination model is one of the most interesting coordination models for open distributed systems due to its space and time decoupling and its synchronization pow...
State-of-the-art image retrieval systems achieve scalability by using bag-of-words representation and textual retrieval methods, but their performance degrades quickly in the face...
Higher-order finite element methods have emerged as an important discretization scheme for simulation. They are increasingly used in contemporary numerical solvers, generating a ...
Recent research provides evidence for the presence of emergent semantics in collaborative tagging systems. While several methods have been proposed, little is known about the fact...
