We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
In this paper, we propose a stochastic model to describe how search service providers charge client companies based on users' queries for the keywords related to these compan...
We present in this paper a system for rewriting user-specific XPath queries for higher sharing of common sub-expressions in a streaming environment. We rewrite these queries acco...
In this paper we provide a fast, data-driven solution to the failing query problem: given a query that returns an empty answer, how can one relax the query's constraints so t...
This paper proposes a novel secure query processing model for semantic sensor networks. A semantic sensor network (SSN) is a sensor network which includes semantics of sensory dat...
