    The Web has known a very fast evolution: going from the Web 1.0, known as Web of Documents where users are merely consumers of static information, to the more dynamic Web 2.0, known as social or collaborative Web where ...
  • Semantic-based merging of RSS items 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Viviani, Marco; Yetongnon, Kokou; Taddesse, Fekade Getahun (2017-01-27)
    Merging XML documents can be of key importance in several applications. For instance, merging the RSS news from same or different sources and providers can be beneficial for end-users in various scenarios. In this paper, ...
  • SemIndex 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Luo, Yi; Yetongnon, Kokou; Ibanez, Carlos Raymundo; Traina, Agma J.M.; Traina, Caeteno; Al Assad, Marc (Springer, 2017-07-05)
    This paper focuses on the important problem of semantic-aware search in textual (structured, semi-structured, NoSQL) databases. This problem has emerged as a required extension of the standard containment keyword based ...
  • Sensitivity analysis of bus line electrification at different operating conditions 
    Basma, Hussein; Mansour, Charbel; Nemer, Maroun; Stabat, Pascal; Haddad, Marc (2021-02-23)
    The electrification of public transport buses is getting more insights, especially in urban areas. The use of Battery electric buses (BEB) results in no tailpipe emissions, which gives BEB an advantage over diesel, hybrid ...
