In this paper, we evaluate and investigate two main types of relevance feedback algorithms; the Euclidean and the correlation?based approaches. In the first case, we examine heuri...
Abstract-- We introduce join scheduling algorithms that employ a balanced network utilization metric to optimize the use of all network paths in a global-scale database federation....
