P2P systems are increasingly used to discover and share various data between users. The performance of a P2P based information retrieval system is determined by the efficiency of...
In this paper we analyze the problem of estimating a function from different noisy data sets collected by spatially distributed sensors and subject to unknown temporal shifts. We p...

We study efficient query processing in distributed web search engines with global index organization. The main performance bottleneck in this case is due to the large amount of i...
Answering aggregate queries like sum, count, min, max over regions containing moving objects is often needed for virtual world applications, real-time monitoring systems, etc. Sin...
