The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
— For a wide variety of sensor network environments, location information is unavailable or expensive to obtain. We propose a location-free, lightweight, distributed, and data-ce...
Situational awareness (SA) applications monitor the real world and the entities therein to support tasks such as rapid decision making, reasoning, and analysis. Raw input about unf...
Traditionally, data that has both linear and hierarchical structure, such as annotated linguistic data, is modeled using ordered trees and queried using tree automata. In this pap...
This paper introduces Clustera, an integrated computation and data management system. In contrast to traditional clustermanagement systems that target specific types of workloads,...
