Most recent document standards rely on structured representations. On the other hand, current information retrieval systems have been developed for flat document representations and cannot be easily extended to cope with more complex document types. Only a few models have been proposed for handling structured documents, and the design of such systems is still an open problem. We present here a ...

Recently, the magnitude of electronic data interchange (EDI) document processing for the handling of port logistics is abruptly being increased. The existing system processes EDI documents in a script mode, but due to a complicated script preparation procedure and low document processing efficiency, it cannot meet the demand as the usage flow of documents increases. In this paper, an EDI electr...

Documents Image Binarization is performed in the preprocessing stage for document analysis and it aims to segment the foreground text from the document background. A fast and accurate document image binarization technique is important for the ensuing document image processing tasks such as optical character recognition (OCR). Though document image binarization has been studied for many years, t...

Although Internet message formats have been precisely defined since the 1970s, authoring and handling software often shows only mild conformance to the specifications. The malformed messages that result are non-standard. Nonetheless, decades of experience have shown that using some tolerance in the handling of the malformations that result is often an acceptable approach and is better than reje...

There is a significant gap between the services provided by dedicated information systems and general desktop systems for document communication and preparation. This situation is a serious knowledge-management problem, which often results in information loss, poor communication, and confusion among users. Semantic desktops promise to bring knowledge-based services to common desktop application...

Document clustering or unsupervised document classification is an automated process of grouping documents with similar content. Document clustering is an important task in many Information Retrieval systems. Also document clustering Algorithms can help in discovery of new and useful knowledge or novel class from the documents under analysis. This knowledge or novel class is very important issue...

This document defines a set of requirements for NATs handling the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). These requirements allow DCCP applications, such as streaming applications, to operate consistently, and they are very similar to the TCP requirements for NATs, which have already been published by the IETF. Ensuring that NATs meet this set of requirements will greatly increase the lik...

This paper focuses on the problem of bringing a business process document to a consistent state after exceptional occurrences. Although many traditional recovery methods can support exception handling, they are mainly concerned with process backtracking, forward stepping, and compensation. However, prior to the use of recovery algorithms, it is essential to find a rollback activity for organiza...

Public administrations show a strong interest in digital signature technology as a mean for secure and authenticated document exchange, hoping it will help reducing paper-based transactions with citizens. The main problem posed by this technology is with the necessary public-key infrastructure, and in particular with certificate status handling. This paper describes the definition and deploymen...
