We propose a distributed algorithm to construct a balanced communication tree that serves in gathering data from the network nodes to a sink. Our algorithm constructs a near-optim...
For a finite set of points S, the (monochromatic) Reverse Nearest Neighbor (RNN) rule associates with any query point q the subset of points in S that have q as its nearest neighb...
The UQBE is a mashup tool for non-programmers that supports query-by-example (QBE) over a schema made up by the user without knowing the schema of the original sources. Based on a...
 We propose a query formulation language, called MashQL for querying and mashing up structured data on the web. The novelty of MashQL is that it does not requireÂ...
The execution time of a large query depends mainly on the memory utilization which should avoid disk accesses for intermediate results. Poor memory management can hurt performance ...
