In a recent paper by Hellerstein [15], a tight relationship was conjectured between the number of strata of a Datalog¬ program and the number of “coordination stages” require...
We simulate different architectures of a distributed Information Retrieval system on a very large Web collection, in order to work out the optimal setting for a particular set of r...
In this paper we investigate two aspects of ranking problems on large graphs. First, we augment the deterministic pruning algorithm in Sarkar and Moore (2007) with sampling techni...
Querying document-centric XML collections with structure conditions improves retrieval precisions. The structures of such XML collections, however, are often too complex for users...
Data Stream Management Systems (DSMSs) must support optimized execution scheduling of multiple continuous queries on massive, and frequently bursty, data streams. Previous approac...
