Large search engines process thousands of queries per second over billions of documents, making query processing a major performance bottleneck. An important class of optimization...
Query processing techniques for XML data have focused mainly on tree-pattern queries (TPQs). However, the need for querying XML data sources whose structure is very complex or not...
Access limitations may occur when querying data sources over the web or heterogeneous data sources presented as relational tables: this happens, for instance, in Data Exchange and ...
Mean-Shift (MS) is a powerful non-parametric clustering method. Although good accuracy can be achieved, its computational cost is particularly expensive even on moderate data sets...
We present an integrated approach for supporting in-network sensor data processing in dynamic and heterogeneous sensor networks. The concept relies on data stream processing techni...
