Data availability, collection and storage have increased dramatically in recent years, raising new technological and algorithmic challenges for database design and data management...
Derived horizontal fragmentation is one of the main database distribution design techniques. Unlike primary horizontal fragmentation, the decision of derived horizontal fragmentat...
In this paper, we discuss issues involving temporal data fragmentation, temporal query processing, and query optimization in multiprocessor database machines. We propose parallel ...
We study the complexity and the I/O-efficient computation of flow on triangulated terrains. We present an acyclic graph, the descent graph, that enables us to trace flow paths in ...
