Please cite this article in press as: J. Baek et al., O doi:10.1016/j.comcom.2010.03.030 In a large-scale mobile IPv6 network, usually there are several coexisting mobility anchor points (MAPs) for networking robustness and traffic sharing. Therefore, it is a challenging issue for an arriving mobile node to choose the most appropriate MAP to bind. This task must be carried out by considering th...

---International Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposed MIPv6 and HMIPv6 both mobility management solutions to support the IP mobility. Although HMIPv6 is an extension of MIPv6 still there is handover latency and packet loss in HMIPv6.In this paper a scheme is presented that supports a fast handover efficiently in hierarchical mobile IPv6 networks (HMIPv6). In HMIPv6 when a mobile node (MN) mov...

To enjoy more social network services, users nowadays are usually involved in multiple online social networks simultaneously. The shared users between different networks are called anchor users, while the remaining unshared users are named as non-anchor users. Connections between accounts of anchor users in different networks are defined as anchor links and networks partially aligned by anchor ...

 As the number of independent countries increases and their economies become more integrated, we would expect to observe more multi-country currency :::union:::s. This paper explores the pros and cons for different countries to adopt as an anchor the US Dollar, the Euro or the Yen. In addition, it addresses the question of how co-movement of outputs and prices would respond to the formation of ...

This paper describes our submission to the Intent Discovery task at the NTCIR-9. By treating the source and target documents of anchor texts as nodes, we utilized the anchor texts between the nodes as edges in a documents–anchors graph representation of the corpus. We extracted and indexed anchor links information from the provided SogouT corpus. Using the queries, anchor texts are retrieved fr...

Anchor texts are useful complementary description for target pages, widely applied to improve search relevance. The benefits come from the additional information introduced into document representation and the intelligent ways of estimating their relative importance. Previous work on anchor importance estimation treated anchor text independently without considering its context. As a result, the...

In Trec-2002, we participated in the Web Trec (named page finding task). There are two kinds of information that can be used while finding the expected page, content information and link information. We exploited both of them. That is to say, our system is content-based and link-based. As to link information, we only used anchor text and connections, and topology between pages is ignored. We su...

Nowadays, people are usually involved in multiple heterogeneous social networks simultaneously. Discovering the anchor links between the accounts owned by the same users across different social networks is crucial for many important inter-network applications, e.g., cross-network link transfer and cross-network recommendation. Many different supervised models have been proposed to predict ancho...
