rs use models or abstractions that hide low-level implementation details. Various kinds of representations such as data models, state-transition models, and dataflow models can hel...
Design patterns have proven to be very useful for the design of object-oriented systems. The power of design patterns stems from their ability to provide generic solutions to reap...
— Modern networks provide a QoS (quality of service) model to go beyond best-effort services, but current QoS models are oriented towards low-level network parameters (e.g., band...
In this paper, we present two ways to improve the precision of HITS-based algorithms on Web documents. First, by analyzing the limitations of current HITS-based algorithms, we pro...
Scientific data sets continue to increase in both size and complexity. In the past, dedicated graphics systems at supercomputing centers were required to visualize large data sets,...
