Multi-dimensional Indexing For XML Data
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is becoming a dominant standard for exchanging and retrieving data over the internet. As XML in data exchanging grows, various XML indexing techniques have been proposed for fast and ...
Service Discovery By Automated Structural And Semantic Matching
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Pervasive computing systems need to locate and use services dynamically. Current models of service location and interaction rely on a fixed contract, or service description, located by name and/or a combination of keywords. ...
Personalizing (Re-ranking) Web Search Results Using Information Present On A Social Network
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
We describe a social search engine paradigm which can be built on top of a classic search engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo, etc.) and a social information network (such as FriendSter). In this thesis, the objective was to design ...
