This paper argues for an alternative way of designing coordination models for parallel and distributed environments based on a complete symmetry between and decoupling of producers...
We establish a nonlinear lower bound for halfplane range searching over a group. Specifically, we show that summing up the weights of n (weighted) points within n halfplanes requir...
Emerging database application domains demand not only new functionality but also high performance. To satisfy these two requirements, the Volcano project provides efficient, exten...
The objective of entity identification is to determine the correspondence between object instances from more than one database. This paper ezamines the problem at the instance lev...
