In this paper we present the Threshold Join Algorithm (TJA), which is an efficient TOP-k query processing algorithm for distributed sensor networks. The objective of a top-k query...
The speed of storing and fetching data on SCSI disks has a great restriction on the efficiency of SAN based on Fiber Channel Network. In this paper, a high-efficient FC-SAN storage...
Background: Biomedical and chemical databases are large and rapidly growing in size. Graphs naturally model such kinds of data. To fully exploit the wealth of information in these...
