This article introduces and explores the condition-based approach to solve the consensus problem in asynchronous systems. The approach studies conditions that identify sets of inpu...
The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously materialized views over the database, rather than accessin...
We consider the complexity of join problems, focusing on equijoins, spatial-overlap joins, and set-containment joins. We use a graph pebbling model to characterize these joins com...

Several commercial applications, such as online comparison shopping and process automation, require integrating information that is scattered across multiple websites or XML docum...
We propose a new transform coding algorithm that integrates all optimization steps into a coherent and consistent framework. Each iteration of the algorithm is designed to minimiz...
