Existing approaches for the processing of location-dependent queries implicitly assume location data expressed at maximum precision (e.g., GPS). However, there exist applications w...
Increasing monitoring of transactions, environmental parameters, homeland security, RFID chips and interactions of online users rapidly establishes new data sources and applicatio...
Current federated systems deploy cost-based query optimization mechanisms; i.e., the optimizer selects a global query plan with the lowest cost to execute. Thus, cost functions in...
