In the environment of wide-area networks such as the Internet, distributed query processing becomes problematic due to the changing coming from both underlying networks and user...
Recent work on continuous queries has focused on processing queries in very large, mobile environments. In this paper, we propose a system leveraging the computing capacities of mo...
Peer-to-peer file-sharing systems suffer from the overspecification of query results due to the fact that queries are conjunctive and the descriptions of shared files are sparse. ...
Peer Data Management Systems (PDMS) are a natural extension of heterogeneous database systems. One of the main tasks in such systems is efficient query processing. Insisting on co...
These last years, the evolution of nomadic terminals and mobile networks has yield to the development of the ubiquitous computing. In this context, actual query evaluation and opt...
