Towards Building Intelligent Transportation Information Service System on Grid

Poor interpretability of current transportation systems has become an obstacle to further develop the intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Our design and implementation of intelligent transportation information service systems (ITIS) focuses on integrating heterogeneous data, transportation systems, and resources by using the grid technique. The ITIS project will refine and summarize the b...

QUESEM: Towards building a Meta Search Service utilizing Query Semantics

Current Web Search Engines are built to serve needs of all users, independent of the special needs of any individual. The documents are returned by matching their queries with available documents, with no emphasis on the semantics of query. As a result, the generated information is often very large and inaccurate that results in increased user perceived latency. In this paper, a Department of C...
