— MapReduce has become an effective approach to big data analytics in large cluster systems, where SQL-like queries play important roles to interface between users and systems. H...
Web and peer-to-peer systems have emerged as popular areas in distributed computing, and their integrated usage permits the benefits of both to be exploited. While much work in th...
This paper presents a set of algorithms for efficiently evaluating join queries over static data tables in sensor networks. We describe and evaluate three algorithms that take adv...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose that the select operator in relational databases be adopted for incorporating evidence in Bayesian networks. This approach does not involve the ...
This paper proposes a way to enable approximate queries in a peer-to-peer network by using a special encoding function and error correcting codes. The encoding function maintains ...
