The growing nature of databases, and the flexibility inherent in the SQL query language that allows arbitrarily complex formulations, can result in queries that take inordinate am...
This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
We consider a wireless sensor network in which sensors are grouped into clusters, each with its own cluster head (CH). Each CH collects data from sensors in its cluster and relays...
Research into ant colony algorithms for solving continuous optimization problems forms one of the most significant and promising areas in swarm computation. Although traditional an...
We propose strategies to efficiently execute a query workload, which consists of multiple related queries submitted against a scientific dataset, on a distributed-memory system in...
