Recently distributed hash table (DHT) mechanisms have been proposed to manage data in very large, structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. DHT algorithms provide efficient exact-mat...
A Datalog program can be translated into a system of fixpoint equations of relational algebra; this paper studies how such a system can be solved and optimized for a particular qu...
This paper characterizes the query behavior of peers in a peer-topeer (P2P) file sharing system. In contrast to previous work, which provides various aggregate workload statistics...

Users enter queries that are short as well as long. The aim of this work is to evaluate techniques that can enable information retrieval (IR) systems to automatically adapt to per...
We present ISENS, a distributed, end-to-end, ontologybased information integration system. In response to a user’s query, our system is capable of retrieving facts from data sou...
