This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
Result diversity is a topic of great importance as more facets of queries are discovered and users expect to find their desired facets in the first page of the results. However,...
In recent years different authors have proposed the used of random-walk-based algorithms for varying tasks in the networking community. These proposals include searching, routing...
In this paper, we study the possibility of designing non-trivial random CSP models by exploiting the intrinsic connection between structures and typical-case hardness. We show tha...
A large part of the data on the World Wide Web is hidden behind form-like interfaces. These interfaces interact with a hidden backend database to provide answers to user queries. ...
