Ranking queries produce results that are ordered on some computed score. Typically, these queries involve joins, where users are usually interested only in the top-k join results....
Many emerging data mining applications require a similarity join between points in a high-dimensional domain. We present a new algorithm that utilizes a new index structure, calle...
We consider the problem of "progressively" joining relations whose records are continuously retrieved from remote sources through an unstable network that may incur temp...
