A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
We derive a family of kernels on dynamical systems by applying the Binet-Cauchy theorem to trajectories of states. Our derivation provides a unifying framework for all kernels on d...

We describe Eureka, a file system search engine that takes into account the inherent relationships among files in order to improve the rankings of search results. The key idea b...
Distributed hash tables (DHTs) have been adopted as a building block for large-scale distributed systems. The upshot of this success is that their robust operation is even more imp...
In this paper, we present an approach to global transactionmanagementinworkflowenvironments.Thetransaction mechanism is based on the well-known notion of compensation, but extended...
