Short time-to-market is an important requirement for developing web-based systems. Software architecture plays a critical role for time-to-market objective to be satisfied since it forms a blueprint for the system structure, indicating the principle loci of later activities such as detailed design and implementation. In particular, we need a novel way for system decomposition to achieve reduced...

Probabilistic models of sentence comprehension are increasingly relevant to questions concerning human language processing. However, such models are often limited to syntactic factors. This restriction is unrealistic in light of experimental results suggesting interactions between syntax and other forms of linguistic information in human sentence processing. To address this limitation, this art...

Historical text presents numerous challenges for contemporary natural language processing techniques. In particular, the absence of consistent orthographic conventions in historical text presents difficulties for any system requiring reference to a static lexicon indexed by orthographic form. Canonicalization approaches seek to address these issues by assigning an extant equivalent to each word...

This paper addresses partitioning and scheduling of irregular loops arising in finite element computations on unstructured meshes. Target computers are Distributed Memory Parallel Computers that provide a global address space. We introduce the concept of “)conditioned Iterations Loop” which distributes the iterations dynamically according to a runtime condition. This technique is improved by a ...
