The recent advances in miniaturization and the creation of low-power circuits, combined with small-sized batteries have made the development of wireless sensor networks a working ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of constructing a proxy-based overlay skeleton tree (POST) in the backbone service domain of a two-tier overlay multicast infrastructure. Spanning...
Multicasting is one of the most important applications in Wireless Ad hoc Networks and the currently emerging Wireless Mesh Networks. In such networks, interference due to the shar...
Web semantic access in specific domains calls for specialized search engines with enhanced semantic querying and indexing capacities, which pertain both to information retrieval (...
As opposed to traditional Information Retrieval (IR) which views whole documents as atomic units of retrieval, XML IR processes XML elements as possible units of retrieval. Many o...
