Pseudo-relevance feedback has proven effective for improving the average retrieval performance. Unfortunately, many experiments have shown that although pseudo-relevance feedback...
Distributed and parallel computing environments are becoming cheap and commonplace. The availability of large numbers of CPU's makes it possible to process more data at highe...
This paper proposes a strategy for parallel composite event detection in Active database systems (DBS). Up to now, the detection is sequential and totally synchronized, and thus p...
The database query optimizer requires the estimation of the query selectivity to find the most efficient access plan. For queries referencing multiple attributes from the same rel...
This paper describes the methodology and implementation of a data management system for highly distributed systems, which was built to solve the scalability and reliability proble...
