This paper introduces to the alternative internet architecture of information-centric networking as opposed to the common host-to-host oriented design approach. Since the rise of computer networking until the internet becoming an incremental part of people’s everyday life, it has undergone severe changes in usage scenarios. Users are interested in content and services and not in locations where...

In this paper, we present an incremental transformation framework called iXSLT. This framework has been experimented for the XSLT language defined at the World Wide Web Consortium. For the currently available tools, designing the XML content and the transformation sheets is a tedious and error prone experience. Incremental transformation processors such as iXSLT represent a better alternative t...

Digital documents have advanced only slightly from their non-digital ancestors, incorporating a few such innovations as hypertext links andfull text searching. Even the much heralded advent of multimedia, just as embedded images and video clips, are rather straightforward digital analogs of books and frim. We believe that computer technology makes possible far more interesting and complex digit...

Program information extracted from source codes is valuable for research in many software engineering fields. Many program analysis tools in these fields usually share some common program information. To support multiple analysis tools based on common program information, it is practical and feasible to store information into database. This paper describes a C++ program information database, wh...

The impact of user-generated content (UGC), especially negative UGC on enterprises is well recognized. From the perspective of enterprises, different strategies of enterprise-generated content (EGC) have also been adapted to response to the unexpected UGC, but few studies have investigated the influence of such strategies on the UGC propagation. This research examines which strategy on the nega...

Knowledge reduction of dynamic covering information systems involves with the time in practical situations. In this paper, we provide incremental approaches to computing the type-1 and type-2 characteristic matrices of dynamic coverings because of varying attribute values. Then we present incremental algorithms of constructing the second and sixth approximations of sets by using characteristic ...

Purpose: To investigate the influence of β-alanine (BA) supplementation on muscle carnosine content, muscle pH and the power-duration relationship (i.e., critical power and W'). Methods: In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, 20 recreationally-active males (22 ± 3 y, V°O2peak 3.73 ± 0.44 L·min-1) ingested either BA (6.4 g/d for 28 d) or placebo (PL) (6.4 g/d) for 28 d. Subject...

Traditional information systems return answers after a user submits a complete query. Users often feel “left in the dark” when they have limited knowledge about the underlying data, and have to use a tryand-see approach for finding information. A recent trend of supporting autocompletion in these systems is a first step towards solving this problem. In this paper, we study a new information-acc...

description of the most relevant system agents as well as their information flow is presented. The advantages derived from agents technology application are conferred.

Thesauruses are used for document referencing. They define hierarchies of domains. We show how document and domain contents can be used to validate and update a classification based on a thesaurus. We use document indexing and classification techniques to automate these operations. We also draft a methodology to systematically address those issues. Our techniques are applied to Urbamet, a thesa...
