Ranking queries produce results that are ordered on some computed score. Typically, these queries involve joins, where users are usually interested only in the top-k join results....
Object-oriented and object-relational DBMS support setvalued attributes, which are a natural and concise way to model complex information. However, there has been limited research...
Many parallel join algorithms have been proposed so far but most of which are developed focused on minimizing the disk It0 and CPU costs. The communication cost, however, is also ...

We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
