Layering and Merging Linguistic Annotations

The American National Corpus and its annotations are represented in a stand-off XML format compliant with the specifications of ISO TC37 SC4 WG1’s Linguistic Annotation Framework. Because few systems that enable search and access of the corpus currently support stand-off markup, the project has developed a SAX like parser that generates ANC data with annotations in-line, in a variety of output ...

Layering in crumpled sheets

We introduce a toy model of crumpled sheets, and use Monte Carlo simulation to show there is a first-order phase transition in the model, from a disordered dilute phase to a mixture with a layered phase. We demonstrate the transition through two order parameters, corr and lay, the first of which measures orientational order while the second measures bulk layering. An important feature of the ar...

Semantic Network Layering

The stack in various forms[1] has been widely used as an architectural template for networking systems. Recently the stack has been subject to criticism for a lack of flexibility. However, when it comes right down to it nobody has offered a truly compelling alternative. Various “cross-layer” optimizations have been proposed, but these optimizations are frequently hacks to achieve a particular g...

Layering Distributed Algorithms

Superposition is a powerful program modularization and structuring method for developing parallel and distributed systems by adding new functionality to an algorithm while preserving the original computation The superposition method will thus structure the distributed algorithm in a number of mechanisms on top of the original computation In this paper the derivation using the super position met...
