Adding Web service quality attributes to queries can help define client goals and improve search results. Search engines greatly facilitate the finding of information on the Web, but how well they retrieve relevant results and accurately rank them can limit Web searching ability. Various studies looking at ways to improve Web search results have determined that identifying the goals of users performing...
Energy consumption and e-waste have inundated computing technologies, and now we must focus on reducing environmental waste in all phases of the computing life cycle. Green IT is a moving target, and continual introspection and reevaluation are necessary. This column will cover a range of important green IT topics, providing insight from leaders in the field.
Banks and other financial institutions work by transferring and otherwise manipulating money. The modern financial systems used by the employers of quants harness modern digital technology to work with money of various kinds, and in increasingly diverse ways. The Internet makes it easy for money of different kinds to be bought and sold, to be sent and received, and to be amplified and hidden away...
In addition to 13 technical magazines, 12 transactions, and one letters publication, in 2009 the IEEE Computer Society will also publish cutting-edge papers and articles from more than 300 conferences.
While Web 3.0 technologies are difficult to define precisely, the outline of emerging applications has become clear over the past year. We can thus essentially view Web 3.0 as semantic Web technologies integrated into, or powering, large-scale Web applications. The base of Web 3.0 applications resides in the resource description framework (RDF) for providing a means to link data from multiple Web...
System-level design has become the rage in the electronics world, with systems-on-chip (SoCs) becoming routine, the electronic system level appearing in design flows, and various system-level design notations becoming common. Unfortunately, where the system level exactly begins and what it encompasses remains a matter of ongoing debate. The late 1990s saw the efforts emerge to actively support the...
Through the development of new classes of software, algorithms, and hardware, data-intensive applications provide timely and meaningful analytical results in response to exponentially growing data complexity and associated analysis requirements.
The IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors remains focused on continuing the transformation of the Society so that we can provide increasing value to our membership.
Protein-based computers are ripe for spectacular scientific advances because we know a great deal about these circuits' molecular components. But we are only beginning to understand how they process information and make decisions. Of the many types of information processing systems known to us, the least well understood are the complex, intracellular molecular reaction networks that control the physiology...
