This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
XML data can be represented by a tree or graph structure and XML query processing requires the information of structural relationships among nodes. The basic structural relationsh...
Top-k spatial preference queries return a ranked set of the k best data objects based on the scores of feature objects in their spatial neighborhood. Despite the wide range of loc...
Abstract. Life science data sources represent a complex link-driven federation of publicly available Web accessible sources. A fundamental need for scientists today is the ability ...
We study the efficient evaluation of top-k queries over data items, where the score of each item is dynamically computed by applying an item-specific function whose parameter valu...
