The goal of the Tsimmis Project is to develop tools that facilitate the rapid integration of heterogeneous information sources that may include both structured and unstructured data. This paper gives an overview of the project, describing components that extract properties from unstructured objects

We witness a rapid increase in the number of structured information sources that are available online, especially on the WWW. These sources include commercial databases on product information, stock market information, real estate, automobiles, and entertainment. We would like to use the data

, heterogeneity, and spatial structure are surveyed.

are inappropriate, since semistructured data often is irregular, some data is missing, similar concepts are represented using different types, heterogeneous sets are present, or object structure is not fully known. Lorel is a user-friendly language in the SQL/OQL style for querying such data effectively. For wide

The structural heterogeneity of four microporous materials, namely an alumina pillared clay; an activated carbon and two zeolites, Y-82 and ZSM-5, and of their physical binary mixtures (50-50 wt%) has been studied by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) and Dubinin

systems have achieved this level of scalability. NiagaraCQ addresses this problem by grouping continuous queries based on the observation that many web queries share similar structures. Grouped queries can share the common computation, tend to fit in memory and can reduce the I/O cost significantly

This paper presents a new approach to estimation and inference in panel data models with a multifactor error structure where the unobserved common factors are (possibly) correlated with exogenously given individual-specific regressors, and the factor loadings differ over the cross section units

, individual C. jejuni colonies were shown to consistently produce heterogeneous LOS structures, irrespective of the cluster type and the status of phase variable genes. Furthermore we describe C. jejuni strains (351 and 375) with LOS clusters that do not match any of the previously described LOS clusters, yet

In molten polymers, three types of structural heterogeneities have to be con-sidered: (1) heterogeneities caused by short range order; (2) fluctuating bundles of more or less parallel chains which are much larger than the domains with short range order; (3) small crystals which

. The instrumentation is controlled by the Performance Consultant module, that automatically directs the placement of instrumentation. The Performance Consultant has a well-defined notion of performance bottlenecks and program structure, so that it can associate bottlenecks with specific causes and specific parts of a
