We present the design goals and functional components of MASTAQ, a data management middleware for pervasive applications that utilize sensor data. MASTAQ allows applications to sp...
We introduce approximate query techniques for searching and analyzing two-dimensional data sets such as line or scatter plots. Our techniques allow users to explore a dataset by d...

Despite the widespread and growing use of asynchronous copies to improve scalability, performance and availability, this practice still lacks a firm semantic foundation. Applicati...
Emerging applications using miniature electronic devices (e.g., tracking mobile objects using sensors) generate very large amounts of highly dynamic data that poses very high overh...
Indexing XML is crucial for efficient XML query processing. We propose a compact tree (Ctree) for XML indexing, which provides not only concise path summaries at group level but a...
