We discuss how time tags can be used for the enforcement of program dependencies. Time tags can serve as the basic ordering enforcement mechanism when large numbers of instructions are executing concurrently. Proposed and future microarchitectures can have hundreds or several hundreds of instructions in flight simultaneously and using standard reservation tags, physical register addresses, and ...

A typical news web page consists of news articles. Along with the news article content tags, it also contains tags of navigation links, privacy & copyright information and advertisements. These tags are called as noise tags. Given an online news article in html form, existing works extract articles by discovering informative tags using various heuristic techniques. In this paper, we follow an a...

To find relevant tags and associated documents, people often need to invest significant amount of cognitive resources to make sense of the relationships among tags.

In this paper, we propose an automatic photo tag expansion system for the community photo collections, such as Flickr. Our aim is to suggest relevant tags for a target photograph uploaded to the system by a user, by incorporating the visual and textual cues from other related photographs. As the first step, the system requires the user to add only a few initial tags for each uploaded photo. The...

In this work, we investigate efficient algorithms for accessing information stored in a large number of RFID tags. Interrogators, equipped with RFID scanners, regularly arrive at the tag system, read from and write messages to the tags, and then leave. We develop techniques for the interrogators to read the newest messages from the tags as quickly as possible, since newer information is often t...

With the emergence of Web 2.0, Web users can classify Web items of their interest by using tags. Tags reflect users’ understanding to the items collected in each tag. Exploring user tagging behavior provides a promising way to understand users’ information needs. However, free and relatively uncontrolled vocabulary has its drawback in terms of lack of standardization and semantic ambiguity. Mor...
