The proposed algorithm is characterized by the following four features:(1) the ancestors should be more representative than the descendants,(2) the semantic meaning along the ancestor-descendant paths needs to be coherent,(3) the children of one parent are collectively exhaustive and mutually exclusive in describing their parent, and(4) tags are roughly evenly distributed to their upper-level parents to avoid structural skew. Findings: The proposed algorithm has been compared with a well-established solution Heymann Tag Tree(HTT). The experimental results using a social tag dataset showed that the proposed algorithm with its default condition outperformed HTT in precision based on Open Directory Project(ODP) classification. It has been verified that h-degree can be applied as a better node generality metric compared with degree centrality.Research limitations: A thorough investigation into the evaluation methodology is needed, including user studies and a set of metrics for evaluating semantic coherence and navigation performance.Practical implications: The algorithm will benefit the use of digital resources by generating a flexible domain knowledge structure that is easy to navigate. It could be used to manage multiple resource collections even without social annotations since tags can be keywords created by authors or experts, as well as automatically extracted from text.Originality/value: Few previous studies paid attention to the issue of whether the tagging systems are easy to navigate for users. The contributions of this study are twofold:(1) an algorithm was developed to construct tag trees with consideration given to both semanticcoherence and structural balance and(2) the effectiveness of a node generality metric, h-degree, was investigated in a tag co-occurrence network.展开更多

Data transmissions required for inter-cloud federation in the complex inter-cloud networking system are often point-to-multi points, which calls for a more effective and efficient multicast routing algorithm in complex networking systems. In this paper, we investigate the multicast routing problem in the inter-cloud context with K constraints where K ≥ 2. Unlike most of existing algorithms that are too complex to be applied in practical scenarios, a novel and fast algorithm for establishing multicast routing tree for interclouds is proposed. The proposed algorithm leverages an entropybased process to aggregate all weights into a comprehensive metric, and then uses it to search a multicast tree(MT) on the basis of the shortest path tree(SPT). We conduct complexity analysis and extensive simulations for the proposed algorithm from the approximation perspective. Both analytical and experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm is more efficient than a representative multi-constrained multicast routing algorithm in terms of both speed and accuracy, and thus we believe that the proposed algorithm is applicable to the inter-cloud environment.展开更多

Recently, Gu et al. showed that the problem is NP-hard even for star graphs restricted with unique destination, and gave a polynomial-time algorithm to solve the problem for paths restricted with unique destination and zero detour. In this paper we will give a dynamic programming algorithm to solve the problem in polynomial time for trees restricted with unique destination and zero detour. In our best knowledge it is a first polynomial-time algorithm for trees.展开更多

The GBD tree is a spatial data structure suitable for two-or three-dimensional data and has good performance characteristics with respect to the dynamic data environment. On GIS and CAD systems, the R-tree and its successors have been used. In addition, the NN search algorithm is also proposed in an attempt to obtain good performance from the R-tree. On the other hand, the GBD tree is superior to the R-tree with respect to exact match retrieval, because the GBD tree has auxiliary data that uniquely determines the position of the object in the structure. The proposed NN search algorithm depends on the property of the GBD tree described above. The NN search algorithm on the GBD tree was studied and the performance thereof was evaluated through experiments.展开更多

The bus system can be used to dynamically obtain various interconnection patterns among the processors. Recently, this model has attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, two efficient algorithms are proposed for computing the minimum spanning tree of an n-vertex undirected graph. One runs on an n×n reconfigurable mesh with time complexity of O(log^2 n). The other runs with time complexity of O(log n) on an n^(1+E)×n reconfigurable mesh, where < E < 1 is a constant. All these improve the previously known results on the reconfigurable mesh.展开更多

When they are applied to a semi-structured document or to a document with an overly complex model, the lack or the ignorance of the explicit document model (DTD—Document Type Definition, Schema, etc.) increases the risk of obtaining an empty result set when the query is too specific, or, too large result set when it is too vague (e.g. it contains wildcards such as “*”). The reason is that in both cases, users write queries according to the document model they have in mind;this can be very far from the one that can actually be extracted from the document. Opposed to exact queries, preference queries are more flexible and can be relaxed to expand the search space during their evaluations. Indeed, during their evaluation, certain constraints (the preferences they contain) can be relaxed if necessary to avoid precisely empty results;moreover, the returned answers can be filtered to retain only the best ones. This paper presents an algorithm for evaluating such queries inspired by the TreeMatch algorithm proposed by Yao et al. for exact queries. In the proposed algorithm, the best answers are obtained by using an adaptation of the Skyline operator (defined in relational databases) in the context of documents (trees) to incrementally filter into the partial solutions set, those which satisfy the maximum of preferential constraints. The only restriction imposed on documents is No-Self-Containment.展开更多
