In distributed IR systems, query response time is affected by the way in which the data collection is partitioned across nodes. There are three types of collection partitioning; document-based partitioning (called the local index), term-based partitioning (called the global index) and hybrid partitioning. In this paper, we compare the three types of partitioning in terms of average query response time for a system with one broker and six other nodes. Our results showed that within our distributed IR system, the document-based and hybrid partitioning outperformed the term-based partitioning. However, unlike Xi et al. , we did not find that hybrid partitioning was any better than document-based partitioning in terms of average query response time.","PeriodicalId":189871,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125073775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2.4 GHz frequency band used by WiFi devices is divided into 11 (in FCC) (or 13 in ETSI) partially overlapping channels. It is claimed that by using frequency bands that are at least four channels apart (non-overlapping channels) interference between those channels is avoided. We carried out two types of experiments to measure the effect of the distance and the claimed non-overlapping channels on the bit rate. From the first study, we experimentally derived a model of distance versus throughput. The second study has confirmed that the interference between the channels cannot be avoided even when using non-overlapping channels. The experiments also showed that by increasing the distance between the networks that are using non-overlapping channels, the effect of the interference decreases.","PeriodicalId":189871,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116556317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we consider the problem of ranking the relevant components returned in response to a user query. As opposed to ranking documents, ranking XML elements introduces new criteria to take into account in determining the degree of relevance of a component, as for example the granularity of an XML component or the proximity of query keywords within the XML structure. Our aim is to answer two questions : Which criteria reflect best the relevance of an XML component? and how can these criteria be combined to obtain an efficient scoring function in order to calculate the degree of relevance of an XML component?","PeriodicalId":189871,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125987202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its performance is a bit higher than the one of arithmetic coding. It can be used in combination with other data transforms to create powerful compressing applications. According to our knowledge the principle, on which the method is built, is new. It is therefore likely that it will be an interesting topic for further research, testing, and improvements. The presented method can be often used as a replacement of some existing methods (Huffman and arithmetic coding) as it often gives better results. This method gives interesting results if applied as final phase of Burrows-Wheeler transform based compression. We suppose that it can be very useful in compression of document databases. It can be also used for image compression, for example as a step processing the output of discrete cosine transformation (after quantization) used in JPEG. The hardware support can highly benefit from the fact that this method can be efficiently pipelined what promises high throughput.","PeriodicalId":189871,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128391530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kullback-Leibler divergence is used as the measure to evaluate the distance between the vectors of the probability distribution. The measured distance values are used to find the corresponding coordinates of the entities in a lower dimensional space. Here, the one variable stochastic simulated annealing (OVSSA) is employed as the optimization technique. Experiments show that this is a plausible way of visualizing the multi-dimensional data, letting people see the relations among the entities intuitively.","PeriodicalId":189871,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130684902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we describe word-based compression method based on LZ77 algorithm. IRS can also perform cluster analysis of textual database to improve quality of answers to userspsila queries. The information retrieved from the clustering can be very helpful in compression. Word-based compression using information about cluster hierarchy is presented in this paper.

Dealing with these issues becomes even more challenging when applications are dynamically built by composition of distributed services involving different service providers. In this case, assuming access to the internal logic and its implementation within the composed Web services is not realistic. In this paper, we propose an architectural framework for monitoring and analysis of QoS driven by models for QoS analysis. This framework has been implemented and experimented for the web service technology within the European WS-DIAMOND project. We consider the general context where only SOAP messages between web services are monitored. The main novelty of our approach is, on the one hand, to provide a generic application-independent framework. On the other hand, we provide models allowing QoS deficiencies to be detected and considered as an indicator of the health degradation of the monitored Web services.","PeriodicalId":189871,"journal":{"name":"2008 First International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114978497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
