We present two server-initiated protocols to improve the performance of distributed information systems (e.g. WWW). Our rst protocol is a hierarchical data dissemination mechanism that allows information to propagate from its producers to servers that are closer to its consumers. This dissemination reduces network traac and balances load amongst servers by exploiting geographic and temporal loc...

Maintenance of Discovered Association Rules in Large Databases: An Incremental Updating Technique

Are We Moving Toward an Information SuperHighway or a Tower of Babel? The Challenge of Large-Scale Semantic Heterogeneity

Optimization of the Prismatic Core Sandwich Panel under Buckling Load and Yield Stress Constraints using an Improved Constrained Differential Evolution Algorithm

In this study, weight optimization of the prismatic core sandwich panel under transverse and longitudinal loadings has been independently investigated. To solve the optimization problems corresponding to the mentioned loadings, a new Improved Constrained Differential Evolution (ICDE) algorithm based on the multi-objective constraint handling method is implemented. The constraints of the problem...

Similarity Indexing with the SS-tree

Eficient indezing of high dimensional feature vectors is important to allow visual information systems and a number other applications to scale up to large databases. In this paper, we define this problem as “similarity indexing” and describe the fundamental types of “similarity queries” that we believe should be
