Most research in algorithms for geometric query problems has focused on their worstcase performance. However, when information on the query distribution is available, the alternat...
We present a semantic caching approach for optimizing the performance of information mediators. A critical problem with information mediators, particularly those gathering and int...
With the development of inexpensive storage devices, space usage is no longer a bottleneck for computer users. However, the increasingly large amount of personal information poses ...
The explosion of the number of web-based information sources has drastically increased the need for intelligent mediation tools to be implemented between the users and these infor...
