There are many technical challenges in designing the architecture of globally-distributed, federated digital libraries. This paper focuses on the problem of global resource discov...
We study integrated prefetching and caching problems following the work of Cao et. al. [3] and Kimbrel and Karlin [13]. Cao et. al. and Kimbrel and Karlin gave approximation algor...
We present a deterministic strongly polynomial algorithm that computes the permanent of a nonnegative n × n matrix to within a multiplicative factor of en. To this end we develop...
Feature selection is a problem of choosing a subset of relevant features. Researchers have been searching for optimal feature selection methods. `Branch and Bound' and Focus a...
As experimental digital library testbeds gain wider acceptance and develop significant user bases, it becomes important to investigate the ways in which users interact with the sys...
