As the variant of a skyline query, a reverse skyline query has been studied. However, the existing methods for processing a reverse skyline query have the limitation of service domains and require the high costs of computation to provide various location-based services. In this paper, we propose a new reverse skyline query processing method that efficiently processes a query over the moving obj...

Spatial-keyword queries on road networks are receiving increasing attention with the prominence of location-based services. There is a growing need to handle queries on road networks in distributed environments because a large network is typically distributed over multiple machines and it will improve query throughput. However, all the existing work on spatial keyword queries is based on a cent...

information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. the document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. in this paper, a new methodology for mat...

The paper presents an approach for optimizing query answering algorithms that are based on approximate instance retrieval. We consider SPARQL instance queries over OWL ontologies and use the OWL 2 Direct Semantics entailment regime of SPARQL for their evaluation. Approximate query answering algorithms are based on the creation of two sets; the set of certain or known query answers and the set o...

histone deacetylase inhibitors have gained a great deal of attention recently for the treatment of cancers and inflammatory diseases. so design of new inhibitors is of great importance in pharmaceutical industries and labs. creating pharmacophor models in order to design new molecules or search a library for finding lead compounds is of great interest. this approach reduces the overall cost ass...

A major problem in information retrieval is the difficulty to define the information needs of user and on the other hand, when user offers your query there is a vast amount of information to retrieval. Different methods , therefore, have been suggested for query expansion which concerned with reconfiguring of query by increasing efficiency and improving the criterion accuracy in the information...
