In a variety of applications, ranging from data integration to distributed query evaluation, there is a need to obtain sets of data items from several sources (peers) and compute ...
Traditional optimizers fail to pick good execution plans, when faced with increasingly complex queries and large data sets. This failure is even more acute in the context of XQuery...

We examine the problem of producing the optimal evaluation order for queries containing joins, selections, and maps. Specifically, we look at the case where common subexpressions i...
A two-stage cascaded classification approach with an optimal candidate selection scheme is proposed to recognize places using images taken by camera phones. An optimal acceptance ...
The efficient execution of integration processes between distributed, heterogeneous data sources and applications is a challenging research area of data management. These inn proc...
