Images have always been very important in human life. Their applications range from primitive communication between humans of all ages to advanced technologies in the industrial, medical and military field. The increased possibilities to capture and analyze images have contributed to the largeness that the scientific field of image processing...
Web search has become one of the prominent information behaviors of the new millennium (Fallows, D., 2008). Web search refers not only to the process of entering keywords into a search engine site, but it also includes a related ecology of online information-seeking activities, such as browsing to specific URLs, making sense of found content,...
It has become highly desirable to provide flexible ways for users to query/search information by integrating database (DB) and information retrieval (IR) techniques in the same platform. On one hand, the sophisticated DB facilities provided by a database management system assist users to query well-structured information using a query language...
