—Inspired by the biological entities’ ability to achieve reciprocity in the course of evolution, this paper considers a conjecture-based distributed learning approach that enab...
Though skyline queries already have claimed their place in retrieval over central databases, their application in Web information systems up to now was impossible due to the distri...
Accurate prediction of operator execution time is a prerequisite for database query optimization. Although extensively studied for conventional disk-based DBMSs, cost modeling in ...

This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
Infomaster is an information integration system. It provides integrated access to distributed, heterogeneous information sources, thus giving its users the illusion of a centraliz...
