Most research works on web retrieval latency are object-level based, which we think is insufficient and sometimes inaccurate. In this paper, we propose a fine grained operation-le...
In distributed scenarios the robustness of a reputation mechanism depends on the data available for computation. Especially in ad-hoc networks the amount of available data is rest...
Assessing semantic similarity between text documents is a crucial aspect in Information Retrieval systems. In this work, we propose to use hyperlink information to derive a simila...
In this paper, we propose a novel framework using Genetic Programming to combine image database descriptors for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Our framework is validated th...
We investigate how to support ranked keyword search in a Parallel Search Cluster Network, which is a newly proposed peer-to-peer network overlay. In particular, we study how to eï...
