Current projects that automate the collection of provenance information use a centralized architecture for managing the resulting metadata - that is, provenance is gathered at rem...
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...
Answering queries posed over knowledge bases is a central problem in knowledge representation and database theory. In databases, query containment is one of the important query op...
