Abstract. This paper explores the possibility of using a modified Expectation-Maximization algorithm to estimate parameters for a simple hierarchical generative model for XML retr...
We show how model extensibility of object-oriented data management systems can be achieved through the combination of a highlevel core object data model and an architecture designe...
The formal description of the semantics of object-oriented data models is still an open problem. Some characteristic features of object-oriented data models, such as methods and i...
Distributed interactive systems often rely on platform information, used for example when migrating a user interface to a small-screen device, or when opportunistically recruiting...
