Due to the structural heterogeneity of XML, queries are often interpreted approximately. This is achieved by relaxing the query and ranking the results based on their relevance to ...
We study the worst-case communication complexity of distributed algorithms computing a path problem based on stationary distributions of random walks in a network G with the caveat...
This paper presents RDSS, a Resource Area Network (RAN)-based Distributed Storage System, which is designed for high scalability, long-term reliability, and operational efficiency...
The availability of web search has revolutionised the way people discover information, yet as search services maintain larger and larger indexes they are in danger of becoming a v...
