Large scale networked image retrieval systems face a number of problems that are not fully satis ed by current systems. On one hand, integrated solutions that store all image data...
We show how linear typing can be used to obtain functional programs which modify heap-allocated data structures in place. We present this both as a "design pattern" for ...
To meet users’ growing needs for accessing pre-existing heterogeneous databases, a multidatabase system (MDBS) integrating multiple databases has attracted many researchers recen...
Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
