Keyword Join: Realizing Keyword Search for Information Integration
(2006-01)Information integration has been widely addressed over the last several decades. However, it is far from solved due to the complexity of resolving schema and data heterogeneities. In this paper, we propose out attempt to ... -
Keyword Join: Realizing Keyword Search in P2P-based Database Systems
(2005-01)In this paper, we present a P2P-based database sharing system that provides information sharing capabilities through keyword-based search techniques. Our system requires neither a global schema nor schema mappings between ... -
Knowledge Integration to Overcome Ontological Heterogeneity: Challenges from Financial Information Systems
(2003-01)The shift towards global networking brings with it many opportunities and challenges. In this paper, we discuss key technologies in achieving global semantic interoperability among heterogeneous information systems, including ... -
A Lab Scale Polymer Micro-Embossing Machine for Process Control Research
(2004-01)Micro embossing is the process of fabricating micron-sized features by plastic deformation of a work piece by means of a shaped tool or die. In our work we are concerned with hot embossing of PMMA to produce features in ... -
Laser Fabrication by Using Photonic Crystal
(2003-01)This paper involves the calculation for composition of different layer used in laser structure and the simulation of cavity, formed by creating air columns in the InGaAsP medium, for square lattice. The aim of this project ... -
Learning object boundary detection from motion data
(2004-01)This paper describes the initial results of a project to create a self-supervised algorithm for learning object segmentation from video data. Developmental psychology and computational experience have demonstrated that the ... -
Learning object boundary detection from motion data
(2003-01)A significant barrier to applying the techniques of machine learning to the domain of object boundary detection is the need to obtain a large database of correctly labeled examples. Inspired by developmental psychology, ... -
Learning Three-Dimensional Shape Models for Sketch Recognition
(2005-01)Artifacts made by humans, such as items of furniture and houses, exhibit an enormous amount of variability in shape. In this paper, we concentrate on models of the shapes of objects that are made up of fixed collections ... -
Length Effects on the Reliability of Dual-Damascene Cu Interconnects
(2002-01)The effects of interconnect length on the reliability of dual-damascene Cu metallization have been investigated. As in Al-based interconnects, the lifetimes of Cu lines increase with decreasing length. However, unlike ... -
Linear Thermodynamics of Rodlike DNA Filtration
(2007-01)Linear thermodynamics transportation theory is employed to study filtration of rodlike DNA molecules. Using the repeated nanoarray consisting of alternate deep and shallow regions, it is demonstrated that the complex ... -
Logistics Network Design with Differentiated Delivery Lead-Time: Benefits and Insights
(2005-01)Most logistics network design models assume exogenous customer demand that is independent of the service time or level. This paper examines the benefits of segmenting demand according to lead-time sensitivity of customers. ... -
Logistics Outsourcing and 3PL Challenges
(2004-01)Logistics has been an important part of every economy and every business entity. The worldwide trend in globalization has led to many companies outsourcing their logistics function to Third-Party Logistics (3PL) companies, ... -
Long range correction for wall-fluid interaction in molecular dynamic simulations
(2004-01)A new method is proposed for correctly modeling the long range interaction between a fluid and a bounding wall in atomistic simulations. This method incorporates the molecular structure of the solid substrate while allowing ... -
Lower Bounds for Achieving Synchronous Early Stopping Consensus with Orderly Crash Failures
(2005-01)In this paper, we discuss the consensus problem for synchronous distributed systems with orderly crash failures. For a synchronous distributed system of n processes with up to t crash failures and f failures actually occur, ... -
Machine Learning Approaches to Modeling the Physiochemical Properties of Small Peptides
(2006-01)Peptide and protein sequences are most commonly represented as a strings: a series of letters selected from the twenty character alphabet of abbreviations for the naturally occurring amino acids. Here, we experiment with ... -
Magnetically-Assisted Statistical Assembly - a new heterogeneous integration technique
(2002-01)This paper presents a new technique for the monolithic heterogeneous integration of compound semiconductor devices with silicon integrated circuits, and establishes the theoretical foundation for a key element of the ... -
Magnetophoresis of Nonmagnetic, Submicrometer Particles in Magnetic Fluids
(2004-01)We studied the migration of nonmagnetic, submicrometer polystyrene beads submerged in a magnetic fluid in the presence of nonuniform magnetic fields as a potential method for size-based separation of submicrometer, nonmagnetic ... -
Mapping Unstructured Parallelism to Series-Parallel DAGs
(2004-01)Many parallel programming languages allow programmers to describe parallelism by using constructs such as fork/join. When executed, such programs can be modeled as directed graphs, with nodes representing a computation and ... -
Markov Process Modeling of A System Under WIPLOAD Control
(2005-01)This paper analyzes a proposed release controlmethodology, WIPLOAD Control (WIPLCtrl), using a transfer line case modeled by Markov process modeling methodology. The performance of WIPLCtrl is compared with that of CONWIP ... -
Matching Interest Points Using Projective Invariant Concentric Circles
(2005-01)We present a new method to perform reliable matching between different images. This method exploits a projective invariant property between concentric circles and the corresponding projected ellipses to find complete region ...
