We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
Multi-dimensional data structures have been widely applied in many data management fields. Spatial data indexing is their natural application, however there are many applications i...
—This paper proposes a cache consistency scheme based on a previously proposed architecture for caching database data in MANETs. The original scheme for data caching stores the q...
The query performance for tracing tags depends upon the distribution of tag trajectories in the data space. We examine a more efficient representation of tag trajectories by means ...
Maximizing only the relevance between queries and documents will not satisfy users if they want the top search results to present a wide coverage of topics by a few representative...
