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...
We introduce a new type of graphical model called a `cumulative distribution network' (CDN), which expresses a joint cumulative distribution as a product of local functions. ...
In a pervasive computing environment, the devices are embedded in the physical world, providing services and interconnected by a communication network. Composition of these servic...
