We consider the problem of optimizing the number of replicas for event information in wireless sensor networks, when queries are disseminated using expanding rings. We obtain clos...
Scientific data are available through an increasing number of heterogeneous, independently evolving, sources. Although the sources themselves are independently evolving, the data ...

Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
XML data warehouses form an interesting basis for decision-support applications that exploit complex data. However, native XML database management systems currently bear limited p...
Applying meta search systems is a suitable method to support the user if there are many different services. Due to information splitting strategies of literature services existing ...
