Modern cloud services are designed to encourage and support collaboration. To help users share links to online documents, maps, etc., several services, including cloud storage providers such as Microsoft OneDrive1 and mapping services such as Google Maps, directly integrate URL shorteners that convert long, unwieldy URLs into short URLs, consisting of a domain such as 1drv.ms or goo.gl and a sh...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract If documents of two URLs are similar, then they are called DUST. Similarly, detection of near duplicate documents is complex. The duplicate documents content will be similar but there will be small differences in the content. Different URLs with sa...

Commercial search engines, especially meta-search engines was designed to retrieve the information by submitting users’ queries to multiple conventional search engines and integrating their partial searching results generated by each search engine. How to find the best search engine for user queries is know as the selection problem of search engines. Recently, the selection problem has become a...

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a compact representation of the location and access method for a resource available via the Internet. When embedded within a base document, a URL in its absolute form may contain a great deal of information which is already known from the context of that base document’s retrieval, including the scheme, network location, and parts of the url-path.

In this paper we present our research on the design of a tool to analyze musical expressivity. Musical expressivity is a human activity difficult to model computationally because of its nature: implicitly acquired by musicians through a long process of listening and imitation. We propose the use of soft computing techniques to deal with this problem. Specifically, from a collection of sound fea...

The main purpose of those algorithms is to gather as many relevant web pages as possible, and most of them only detail the approaches of the first crawling. However, no one has ever mentioned some important questions, such...

In order to construct such solutions, mediation brings more information and knowledge, and, if possible, resources to the negotiation table. The contribution of this paper is the automated mediation machinery which does that. It presents an argumentatio...
