As the availability of structured documents, formatted in markup languages such as SGML, RDF, or XML, increases, retrieval systems increasingly focus on the retrieval of document-elements, rather than entire documents. Additionally, abstraction layers in the form of formalised retrieval logics have allowed developers to include search facilities into numerous applications, without the need of h...

This paper introduces and studies PoliS, a coordination model to specify the software architecture of distributed applications. PoliS is based on multiple dataspaces containing both data and programs. We deene PoliS syntax and semantics, and show how it can be used as a formal notation for specifying open systems. We adopt TLA logic to reason on PoliS speciications. Finally, we discuss an appli...

Developing notations and tools for describing and analyzing software architectures is currently a main research issue in software engineering. Although there is no universally accepted de nition, most researchers agree that an Architectural Description Language should allow to describe and analyze the structure of large software systems. This paper shows that PoliS, a coordination language, can...

This paper reports the present results of a research on unsupervised Persian morpheme discovery. In this paper we present a method for discovering the morphemes of Persian language through automatic analysis of corpora. We utilized a Minimum Description Length (MDL) based algorithm with some improvements and applied it to Persian corpus. Our improvements include enhancing the cost function usin...

Segmentation is a process of dividing cursive words into smaller parts in order to decrease complexity and increase accuracy of handwriting recognition process. However it is a complicated and timeconsuming task. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of basic shapes and explore its application for segmentation of Persian words. Considering a set of pre-defined shapes include line and open or...
