Peer Data Management Systems (PDMS) are a natural extension of heterogeneous database systems. One of the main tasks in such systems is efficient query processing. Insisting on co...
In this paper, we present the design of system of databases (SyDb). We also give the design and implementation of a Java API for global querying and updates on the SyDb. The datab...
With the Object-Reference (ORef) approach, the traditional object-oriented model is extended with references to act as a canonical model. Our ORef model facilitates the storage of ...
Data and computations of a CAD system have been wrapped by a mediator system using CORBA's IIOP Protocol. This allows ad hoc declarative mediator queries to be translated into...
This paper suggests an evolutionary approach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of f...
