— In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm for detecting redundancies in a sensor network with no location information. We demonstrate how, in the absence of localizatio...
Statistical physics, computer simulation and discrete mathematics are intimately related through the study of shared lattice models. These models lie at the foundation of all thre...
The queries defined on data warehouses are complex and use several join operations that induce an expensive computational cost. This cost becomes even more prohibitive when querie...
We investigate query routing techniques in a cluster of databases for a query-dominant environment. The objective is to decrease query response time. Each component of the cluster...
We consider the problem of deciding query equivalence for a conjunctive language in which queries output complex objects composed from a mixture of nested, unordered collection ty...
