In this paper, we explore a new paradigm for data management in which a third party service provider hosts "database as a service" providing its customers seamless mecha...
Obtaining fast and good quality approximations to data distributions is a problem of central interest to database management. A variety of popular database applications including,...
Scalable storage architectures allow for the addition of disks to increase storage capacity and/or bandwidth. In its general form, disk scaling also refers to disk removals when e...

We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
Large sensor networks are being widely deployed for measurement, detection, and monitoring applications. Many of these applications involve database systems to store and process d...
Difference, intersection, semi-join and anti-semi-join may be considered binary subset operators, in that they all return a subset of their left-hand argument. These operators are...

The goal of a data integration system is to provide a uniform interface to a multitude of data sources. Given a user query formulated in this interface, the system translates it i...
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...
