We introduce and validate bootstrap techniques to compute confidence intervals that quantify the effect of test-collection variability on average precision (AP) and mean average...
Virtual environments (VEs) very often contain buildings that have to be navigated by users. In the literature, several navigation aids based on maps have been proposed for VEs, bu...
Generally, evolutionary algorithms require a large number of evaluations of the objective function in order to obtain a good solution. This paper presents a simple approach to sav...
The recent proliferation of XML-based standards and technologies for managing data on the Web demonstrates the need for effective and efficient management of treestructured data....
Abstract — Mapping applications onto different networks-onchip (NoCs) topologies is done by mapping processing cores on local ports of routers considering requirements like laten...
