In this paper, we present SURCH, a novel decentralized algorithm for efficient processing of queries generated in sensor networks. Unlike existing techniques, SURCH is fully dist...
Remote data access from disparate sources across a widearea network such as the Internet is problematic due to the unpredictable nature of the communications medium and the lack o...
Utility elicitation is an important component of many applications, such as decision support systems and recommender systems. Such systems query users about their preferences and ...
— Finding the k nearest neighbors (kNN) of a query point, or a set of query points (kNN-Join) are fundamental problems in many application domains. Many previous efforts to solve...
A common technique used to minimize I/O in data intensive applications is data declustering over parallel servers. This technique involves distributing data among several disks so...
