Peer Data Management Systems (PDMS) are a natural extension of heterogeneous database systems. One of the main tasks in such systems is efficient query processing. Insisting on co...
Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems offer an efficient means of data sharing among a dynamically changing set of a large number of autonomous nodes. Each node in a p2p system is connected...
Sensor networks, that consist of potentially several thousands of nodes each with sensing (heat, sound, light, magnetism, etc.) and wireless communication capabilities, provide gr...
The fundamental drawback of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is the flooding-based query processing protocol that seriously limits their scalability. As a result, a signiï...
This paper addresses the efficient processing of similarity queries in metric spaces, where data is horizontally distributed across a P2P network. The proposed approach does not r...
