In this paper, we propose DBSampler, a query execution mechanism to answer "partial selection" queries in peerto-peer databases. A partial selection query is an arbitrar...
Various techniques have been developed for different query types in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems such as sampling queries, constrained sampling queries, multiple c...
In this paper, we propose a simple and flexible execution model that (i) supports a wide spectrum of alternative optimization and execution strategies and their mixtures, (ii) pro...

In this paper we show the power of sampling techniques in designing efficient distributed algorithms. In particular, we show that using sampling techniques, on some networks, sele...
In information-integration systems, sources may have diverse and limited query capabilities. In this paper we show that because sources have restrictions on retrieving their infor...
