A cache engine for e-content integration

D. I. C. E. and Co.In.S.: A Data Integration Cache Engine for a Content Integration System

Content integration of web data sources is becoming increasingly important for the formation of the next generation information systems. A common performance bottleneck faced by all proposed solutions is the network overhead incurred when contacting the integrated e-sites. With this paper we contribute ongoing work on D.I.C.E. and Co.In.S.; a domain-independent Content Integration System and it...

In recent years, there has been a rising concern about the policy of major search engines. The concern comes from search bias, which refers to the ranking of the results of a keyword search on the basis of some other principle than the sheer relevance.

Integration von E-Assessment und Content-Management

Formative Tests können für Lehrende und Lernende gleichermaßen nützlich sein. Webbasierte Multiple-Choice-Tests können helfen, den Aufwand für formative Tests zu senken und somit einen breiteren und häufigeren Einsatz zu ermöglichen. Wir stellen ein Modul für das Content-Management-System Plone vor, das es erlaubt, MC-Tests genau wie andere Ressourcen einzusetzen und zu verwalten. Auf diese Wei...

A Search Engine Index for Multimedia Content

We present a distributed index data structure and algorithms devised to support parallel query processing of multimedia content in search engines. We present a comparative study with a number of data structures used as indexes for metric space databases. Our optimization criteria are based on requirements for high-performance search engines. The main advantages of our proposal are efficient per...
