Technical Reports (Computing Science)

2002

Wang, Yiqiao, Stroulia, Eleni

Technical report TR02-15. Crawlers are essential to web search engines for retrieving high quality web pages automatically and efficiently based on developer defined notions of importance and quality. Due to rapid growth of World-Wide Web and limited resources available to crawlers, developing...

Marsland, Tony, Breitkreutz, T., Sutphen, Steven

Technical report TR89-11. This paper explains how to write Network Multiprocessor Package (NMP) applications. The technical report NMP--A Network Multi-processor [TR88-22] contains an overview of NMP, implementation details, more advanced usage information, and instructions for installing the...

Kapoor, Rohit

Technical report TR01-11. With the increasing proliferation of computing devices and platforms, it has become increasingly important for organizations to make their existing software systems accessible to new environments. However, almost all the proposed solutions for this problem focus either...

Zhou, Tong, Pu, Calton, Barga, Roger, Liu, Ling

Technical report TR95-17. Information Superhighway environments such as the Internet have brough us ready access to large amounts of information. However, Internet data is notoriously unorganized and autonomously managed in a distributed fashion. Large scale information monitoring in the...

Zaiane, Osmar, Nascimento, Mario, Oliveira, Stanley

Technical report TR02-01. Research in information hiding has grown explosively. A large number of techniques have been proposed to discourage copyright infringement, tampering and unauthorized distribution of digital media (e.g. video, audio, and images). In this paper, we provide an overview of...

Greiner, Russ, Guo, Yuhong

Technical report TR04-22. Model selection problem in Bayesian belief network (BN) structure learning is a classicial problem in the BN literature. To do model selection in BN structure learning, we need a evaluation score and a searching procedure. The generative criteria, AIC, BIC and BDe, are...

Nikolaidis, Ioanis, Nascimento, Mario, Malhotra, Baljeet

Technical report TR08-02. We consider the problem of vehicle classification using acoustic signals captured within a sensor network. The sensors perform collaborative decision and/or data fusion in a distributed and energy efficient manner. We present a distributed cluster-based algorithm,...

1997

Rachine, Kurill

Technical report TR97-03. One of the key issues for query processing in distributed open environments is the query scheduling problem. Given a user query, after we know that there are n sources that are relevant to the answer of this query, the first issue we need to address is how...

1996

Eskicioglu, M. Rasit, Marsland, Tony

Technical report TR96-22. There are two common programming models for intercommunication in parallel and distributed applications: shared memory and message passing. Shared memory has been the standard model for tightly-coupled systems (multiprocessors), where the processors have uniform access...

2009

Holte, Robert, Zilles, Sandra, Ball, Marcel

Technical report TR09-04. Abstraction is a popular technique for speeding up planning and search. A problem that often arises in using abstraction is the generation of abstract states, called spurious states, from which the goal state is reachable in the abstract space but for which there is no...
