While the task of answering queries from an arbitrary propositional theory is intractable in general, it can typicallybe performed e ciently if the theory is Horn. This suggests t...
The widespread distribution and availability of smallscale sensors, actuators, and embedded processors is transforming the physical world into a computing platform. One such examp...
In a variety of applications, ranging from data integration to distributed query evaluation, there is a need to obtain sets of data items from several sources (peers) and compute ...
We investigate runtime strategies for data-intensive applications that involve generalized reductions on large, distributed datasets. Our set of strategies includes replicated fi...
