The K-Closest-Pairs Query (K-CPQ), a type of distance join in spatial databases, discovers the K pairs of objects formed from two different datasets with the K smallest distances....

Autonomous mobile programs (AMPs) offer a novel decentralised load management technology where periodic use is made of cost models to decide where to execute in a network. In this...
We consider the paging problem where the pages have varying size. This problem has applications to page replacement policies for caches containing World Wide Web documents. We con...
The creation of a generic and modular query optimization and processing infrastructure can provide significant benefits to XML data management. Key pieces of such an infrastructur...

Minkowski-sum cost model indicates that balanced data partitioning is not beneficial for high dimensional data. Thus we study several unbalanced partitioning methods and propose ...
Most database query optimizers use cost models to identify good query execution plans. Inaccuracies in the cost models can cause query optimizers to select poor plans. In this pap...
To share resources in open distributed systems we have developed autonomous mobile programs, which periodically use a cost model to decide where to execute in a network. In additi...
We propose a model-based methodology to size and plan enterprise applications under Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Our approach is illustrated using a real-world Enterprise Reso...
