The techniques of information retrieval and information extraction are complementary, but to date there has been little concrete work aimed at integrating the two. We describe how...
Modern distributed applications pose increasing demands for high availability, automatic management, and dynamic conguration of their software systems. This paper presents the ar...
: We present a spatial model of group interaction in virtual environments. The model aims to provide flexible and natural support for managing conversations among large groups gath...
This paper presents an evaluation of two orthogonal schemes for improving the efficiency of solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). The first scheme involves a class of p...
A model of unrestricted And-parallel execution for logic programs is described, based on Dependency Directed Backtracking (DDBT) aimed at improving the efficiency of execution whi...
