Algorithms for discrete energy minimization play a fundamental role for low-level vision. Known techniques include graph cuts, belief propagation (BP) and recently introduced tree-...
Web communities involve networks of loosely coupled data sources. Members in those communities should be able to pose queries and gather results from all data sources in the networ...
This paper presents a detailed integration process for XML schemata called BInXS. BInXS adopts a global-as-view integration approach that builds a global schema from a set of heter...
Abstract Integrated engineering environments, based on federated database technology, are, among others, a means to control the integrity of and dependencies between product data c...
This paper considers distributed systems, defined as a collection of components interacting through interfaces. Components, interfaces and distributed systems are modeled as Petri...
