A common requirement of many scienti c applications is the ability to process queries involving expensive predicates corresponding to user programs. Optimizing such queries is hard because static cost predictions and statistical estimates are not applicabl ...
One crucial task for e-commerce systems is to help buyers find products that not only satisfy their preferences but also reduce their search effort. Usually the amount of available products is far beyond the upper limit that any individual could process by ...

Understanding stakeholders’ needs is necessary to design requirements for organizations and IT systems. We present a systemic modeling method to identify and categorize stakeholders within value networks, to analyze the relationships between these value ne ...
Ultrasound imaging allows the evaluation of the degree of emergency of a patient. However, in many situations no experienced sonographer is available to perform such echography. To cope with this issue, the OTELO project “mObile Tele-Echography using an ul ...
Ultrasound imaging allows the evaluation of the degree of emergency of a patient. However, in several occasions a well trained sonographer is unavailable to perform such echography. To cope with this issue, the OTELO project aims to develop a fully integra ...

We investigated the oxidation reaction of the O-2 molecule at the Si(100)-SiO2 interface by using a constrained ab initio molecular dynamics approach. To represent the Si(100)-SiO2 interface, we adopted several model interfaces whose structural properties ...
A review on the methods of characterization of multicomponent microcapsules. Requirements to measure the ingress and egress of small and macromols. through the membrane are discussed, along with the relevant theory. The relevant factors to consider in micr ...
Books, videos, music, still images and any other type of media information, share a number of features that enable their migration from traditional delivery technologies to an all-electronic delivery model. They can easily be digitized, stored, compressed ...
The structure of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface is investigated at the atomic scale by combining Rutherford ion scattering measurements and theoretical modeling. Ion-scattering experiments are performed in the channeling geometry using ion energies between 0.4 ...
A major promise of component-based software engineering is the reduction of application development time and costs by reusing software components. The existence of and access to component libraries, as well as the ability to build such libraries in the fir ...
