  <description><![CDATA[The deployment of wireless communication technologies has led to significant research in the area of mobile data management. The prior research is dominated by the client-proxy-server model. In this model, mobile devices are able to connect to the Internet and serve as clients, initiating actions and receiving information from servers on the network. The primary focus of prior research is on the development of techniques and protocols that deal with disconnection management, low bandwidth and...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[In this talk I will describe the research done at Sarnoff developing
adaptive models to tailor the behavior of search and knowledge discovery
systems to the needs of individual users. I will describe our
development of dynamically adaptive models that capture user intent and
entity behavior, and can dynamically adapt by both expanding model
content (with the aid of an ontology) and by refining measures of user
interest (based on implicit and explicit user feedback). I will describe
pre...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The talk will present an overview of two popular Open Source databases
Xindice (from Apache Group) and eXist. The introductory part will provide
some background information about the advantages and disadvantages of
using XML databases in general as opposed to relational databases.
Additionally technologies used to access and manipulate XML data like
XPath, XQuery and XUpdate will be very briefly described. The remaining
parts of the presentation will provide a summary of experiences gai...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The growth in knowledge sharing enabled by the (semantic) web made trust an increasingly critical issue. A trust network refers to a network of agents connected by directed trust relations with Boolean or numerical values. We argue that it is more personalized, flexible and scalable than traditional approaches such as public reputation systems and collaborative filtering. Some researchers have recently suggested a graph interpretation of the trust network, and proposed simple algorithms for p...]]></description>
