    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 ...
  • Toward enhancing web accessibility for blind users through the semantic web 
    Tekli, Joe; Tekli, Gilbert; Semaan, Bernard; Bou Issa, Youssef; Chbeir, Richard (IEEE, 2017-07-04)
    The problems of Web data accessibility and navigation for blind users have become an active research field for the past decade. Many techniques have been created to solve them, some are hardware based and others are software ...
  • Differential SOAP multicasting 
    Tekli, Joe; Damiani, Ernesto; Chbeir, Richard (IEEE, 2017-07-04)
    SOAP has been widely adopted as a simple, robust and extensible XML-based protocol for the exchange of messages among web services. Unfortunately, SOAP communications have two major performance-related drawbacks: i) ...
  • Fast fractal stack 
    Tekli, Joe; Costa, Alceu Ferraz; Traina, Agma Juci Machado (ACM, 2017-07-04)
    This paper proposes a new feature extraction method: the Fast Fractal Stack, or FFS. The extraction algorithm consists in decomposing the input grayscale image into a stack of binary images from which the fractal dimension ...
  • Toward approximate GML retrieval based on structural and semantic characteristics 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Ferri, Fernando; Grifoni, Patrizia (Springer, 2017-07-04)
    GML is emerging as the new standard for representing geographic information in GISs on the Web, allowing the encoding of structurally and semantically rich geographic data in self describing XML-based geographic entities. ...
  • Relating RSS news/items 
    Tekli, J.; Chbeir, R.; Getahun, F.; Viviani, M.; Yetongnon, K. (ScopusSpringer, 2017-07-04)
    Merging related RSS news (coming from one or different sources) is beneficial for end-users with different backgrounds (journalists, economists, etc.), particularly those accessing similar information. In this paper, we ...
  • Extensible user-based XML grammar matching 
    Tekli, J.; Chbeir, R.; Yetongnon, K. (Scopus, 2017-07-04)
    XML grammar matching has found considerable interest recently due to the growing number of heterogeneous XML documents on the web and the increasing need to integrate, and consequently search and retrieve XML data originated ...
  • Structural similarity evaluation between XML documents and DTDs 
    Tekli, J.; Chbeir, R.; Yetongnon, K. (Springer, 2007)
    The automatic processing and management of XML-based data are ever more popular research issues due to the increasing abundant use of XML, especially on the Web. Nonetheless, several operations based on the structure of ...
  • The use of semantic-based predicates implication to improve horizontal multimedia database fragmentation 
    Getahun, Fekade; Tekli, Joe; Atnafu, Solomon; Chbeir, Richard (ACM, 2007-09-28)
    Database fragmentation allows reducing irrelevant data accesses by grouping data frequently accessed together in dedicated segments. In this paper, we address multimedia database fragmentation to take into account the rich ...
  • A fine-grained XML structural comparison approach 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Yetongnon, Kokou (Springer, 2007)
    As the Web continues to grow and evolve, more and more information is being placed in structurally rich documents, XML documents in particular, so as to improve the efficiency of similarity clustering, information retrieval ...
  • XS3: a system for similarity evaluation in multimedia-based heterogeneous XML repositories 
    Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Yetongnon, Kokou (ACM, 2008-10-26)
    Just as in the real world, plants are important objects in virtual world for creating pleasant and realistic environments, especially those involving natural scenes. As such, much effort has been made in realistic modeling ...
  • XSDF: A system for XML semantic disambiguation 
    Charbel, Nathalie; Tekli, Joe; Chbeir, Richard; Tekli, Gilbert (IEEE, 2015-11-30)
    This paper briefly describes and evaluates XSDF, a new XML Semantic Disambiguation Framework, taking as input: an XML document and a general purpose semantic network, and then producing as output a semantically augmented ...
  • Fast and reduced full-system finite element solution of line contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems 
    Habchi, W.; Issa, J. (Civil-Comp Press, 2017-06-29)
  • Minimization of the amplitude of the entire span of beams using mass dampers 
    Issa, Jimmy S. (ASME, 2017-06-29)
    The aim of this work is the reduction of the steady state amplitude of harmonically forced simply supported beams using mass dampers. The considered system consists of a mass damper attached to a simply supported beam with ...
  • The use of the fixed points method for optimal damping of harmonically forced cantilever beams 
    Issa, Jimmy S. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    The use of viscous dampers for vibration attenuation in harmonically forced cantilever beams is studied. The system considered is a cantilever beam with a point harmonic force applied at a given location and a viscous ...
  • Vibration suppression in a cantilever beam using a string-type vibration absorber 
    Issa, Jimmy S.; Habchi, Wassim F. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    A string-type vibration absorber is proposed to suppress energy from a vibrating beam. A cantilever beam is considered with a harmonic force applied at its free end. The vibration absorber is a string attached to the beam ...
