Abstract-- When dealing with massive quantities of data, topk queries are a powerful technique for returning only the k most relevant tuples for inspection, based on a scoring func...
This paper describes SKIMA, a mediation system that gives transparent access to heterogeneous and distributed sources considering their semantics and the semantics of application ...
A semantic caching scheme suitable for wrappers wrapping web sources is presented. Since the web sources have typically weaker querying capabilities than conventional databases, e...
Abstract-- We present a replication-based approach that realizes both fast and highly-available stream processing over wide area networks. In our approach, multiple operator replic...
This paper describes an approach (and its implementation) on how to handle the large number of data from user centered engineering processes. It uses objectoriented abstraction me...
