This paper addresses the problem of building scalable semantic overlay networks. Our approach follows the principle of data independence by separating a logical layer, the semantic overlay for managing and mapping data and metadata schemas, from a physical ...
The purpose of this monograph is (a) to lay the foundations for a conceptual approach to bounded cohomology; (b) to harvest the resulting applications in rigidity theory. Of central importance is the new interplay between measure theory, amenability, Banac ...
We consider the problem of analytically evaluating semantic interoperability in large-scale networks of schemas interconnected through pairwise schema mappings. Our heuristics are based on a graph-theoretic framework capturing important statistical propert ...
The premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is a heavy burden for society. In order to manage structures effectively and to reduce this burden to the minimum, the number and extent of interventions have to be kept to the lowest possible l ...
We present a consistent and transparent caching system for dynamic web pages produced by a server-side application using a back-end database. Cached pages always reflect current database values. No intervention from the programmer is necessary to implement ...
The challenge of knowing one's position in a precise and reliable way, at any time, with and without reception of satellite signals, represents an area fairly explored for the navigation of vehicles. To widen this service to the pedestrians requires a diff ...
An analytical methodology for prediction of the platoon arrival profiles and queue length along signalized arterials is proposed. Traffic between successive traffic signals is modeled as a two-step Markov decision process (MDP). Traffic dynamics are modele ...
