We present the application of the Planning by Rewriting PbR framework to query planning in distributed and heterogeneous environments. PbR is a new paradigm for e cient high-quali...
This paper is concerned with the efficient execution of multiple query workloads on a cluster of SMPs. We target applications that access and manipulate large scientific dataset...
Abstract. In emerging data stream applications, data sources are typically distributed. Evaluating multi-join queries over streams from different sources may incur large communica...
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...
Managing uncertain data using probabilistic frameworks has attracted much interest lately in the database literature, and a central computational challenge is probabilistic infere...
