The normalization of a data cube is the process of choosing an ordering for the attribute values, and the chosen ordering will affect the physical storage of the cube’s data. For...
The success of personal information agents depends on their ability to provide task-relevant information. This paper presents WordSieve, a new algorithm that generates context des...
Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
We have investigated two major issues in Distributed Information Retrieval (DIR), namely: collection selection and search results merging. While most published works on these two ...
We present a framework for visualizing remote distributed data sources using a multi-user immersive virtual reality environment. DIVE-ON is a system prototype that consolidates dis...
