This paper addresses a fundamental and challenging problem with broad applications: efficient processing of region-based promotion queries, i.e., to discover the top-k most inter...
There are two broad approaches to query evaluation over probabilistic databases: (1) Intensional Methods proceed by manipulating expressions over symbolic events associated with u...
Implementations of map-reduce are being used to perform many operations on very large data. We examine strategies for joining several relations in the map-reduce environment. Our ...
—Earlier sensor network MAC protocols focus on energy conservation in low-duty cycle applications, while some recent applications involve real-time high-data-rate signals. This m...
Dynamic compilers can optimize application code specifically for observed code behavior. Such behavior does not have to be stable across the entire program execution to be bene...
