Scientists depend on literature search to find prior work that is relevant to their research ideas. We introduce a retrieval model for literature search that incorporates a wide ...
This paper presents a new discriminative model for information retrieval (IR), referred to as linear discriminant model (LDM), which provides a flexible framework to incorporate a...
We propose a formal model of trust informed by the Global Computing scenario and focusing on the aspects of trust formation, evolution, and propagation. The model is based on a no...
E-business workloads are quite complex as demonstrated by the hierarchical workload characterization discussed here. While these features may pose challenges to performance model ...
Cpfg is a program for simulating and visualizing plant development, based on the theory of L−systems. A special−purpose programming language, used to specify plant models, is ...
