We introduce a framework for reordering join pipelines at runtime in a database system. This framework incorporates novel techniques for simulating the execution of a join pipeline...
Abstract-- Particle simulation has become an important research tool in many scientific and engineering fields. Data generated by such simulations impose great challenges to databa...
We present a flexible query allocation framework, called Satisfaction-based Query Allocation (SbQA for short), for distributed information systems where both consumers and provider...
Abstract-- Join processing in wireless sensor networks is difficult: As the tuples can be arbitrarily distributed within the network, matching pairs of tuples is communication inte...
Requirements from new types of applications call for new database system solutions. Computational science applications performing distributed computations on Grid networks with req...
This paper presents an image denoising algorithm that uses principal component analysis (PCA) in conjunction with the non-local means image denoising. Image neighborhood vectors u...
Dynamic-Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is currently used as a complementary diagnosis tool to assess the malignancy of the liver tumor, called hepatoma, hepatocarcinoma, hepatoce...
