We present a query-driven algorithm for the distributed indexing of large document collections within structured P2P networks. To cope with the bandwidth consumption problem that has been identified as the major issue for the standard distributed approach ...
Until recently, most data integration techniques involved central components, e.g., global schemas, to enable transparent access to heterogeneous databases. Today, however, with the democratization of tools facilitating knowledge elicitation in machine-pro ...
Semantic document annotation may be useful for many tasks. In particular, in the framework of the MDM project(http://www.issco.unige.ch/projects/im2/mdm/), topical annotation -- i.e. the annotation of document segments with tags identifying the topics disc ...
QoS-based service selection mechanisms will play an essential role in service-oriented architectures, as e-Business applications want to use services that most accurately meet their requirements. Standard approaches in this field typically are based on the ...

This paper explores three different scenarios of how the regulatory governance of the network industries in Europe is likely to evolve, namely the emergence of European regulators, differentiated and therefore more fragmented regulation and self-regulation ...
In the last three decades the management of information technologies has become a major issue in most organizations. In this context, virtual communities (VC), as a means to technologically foster collective social exchanges, are often proposed as viable s ...
We propose a method for fine grain QoS control of real-time applications. The method allows adapting the overall system behavior by adequately setting the quality level parameters of its actions. The objective of the control policy is to meet QoS requireme ...

The increasing interest in new software engineering technologies for application integration such as Service Oriented Computing and Service Orchestration has resulted in a proliferation of workflow management systems as the underlying representation and ex ...
