This paper offers a local distributed algorithm for expectation maximization in large peer-to-peer environments. The algorithm can be used for a variety of well-known data mining...
In this paper we study the expressive power of query languages for nested bags. We de ne the ambient bag language by generalizing the constructs of the relational language of Brea...
We study the problem of maintaining recursively-de ned views, such as the transitive closure of a relation, in traditional relational languages that do not have recursion mechanis...
Fragmentation leads to unpredictable and degraded application performance. While these problems have been studied in detail for desktop filesystem workloads, this study examines n...
The volume of information in natural languages in electronic format is increasing exponentially. The demographics of users of information management systems are becoming increasin...
