Abstract A social history of Ireland (encompassing rural communities) is needed if historians are to fully come terms with what really happened between 1914 and 1918 properly tackle the question ‘consent’ ‘constraint’ in relation war effort. In addition, need devote a comprehensive book-length research April Conscription Crisis Ulster (but more generally anti-conscription movement Ulster), dete...

This paper delivers the solution to an optimal search problem where the searcher faces more than one search alternative and is learning about the attractiveness of the respective alternatives during the search process. The optimal sampling strategy is characterized by simple reservation prices that determine which of the search alternatives to sample and when to stop searching. The reservation ...

Despite the advances in information retrieval the search engines still result in imprecise or poor results, mainly due to the quality of the query being submitted. The query formulation to express their information need has always been challenging for the users. In this paper, we have proposed an interactive query expansion methodology using Concept-Based Directions Finder (CBDF). The approach ...

Getting a perfectly centered initial point for feasible path-following interior-point algorithms is hard practical task. Therefore, it worth to analyze other cases when the starting not necessarily centered. In this paper, we propose short-step weighted-path following algorithm (IPA) solving convex quadratic optimization (CQO). The latter based on modified search direction which obtained by tec...

In this chapter, we survey methods that perform keyword search on graph data. Keyword search provides a simple but user-friendly interface to retrieve information from complicated data structures. Since many real life datasets are represented by trees and graphs, keyword search has become an attractive mechanism for data of a variety of types. In this survey, we discuss methods of keyword searc...

This talk provides an overview of research opportunities in adaptive search, with particular emphasis on web search and the consequent challenges of scale. Examples of adaptive search will be drawn from web search engines, and based in part on these examples, I will explore how adaption applies to search processes and search interfaces. The implications of web scale for research will be conside...

In this paper, we present the problem of planning the acquisitions performed by a constellation of radar satellites in order to fulfil as well as possible an ocean global surveillance mission. Then, we describe the local search algorithm, inspired by large neighborhood search techniques and knapsack heuristics, that has been specifically designed and implemented to solve daily planning problem ...
