The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
Peer data management systems (PDMS) offer a flexible architecture for decentralized data sharing. In a PDMS, every peer is associated with a schema that represents the peer's...
This paper extends relational processing and optimization to the FISQL/FIRA languages for dynamic schema queries over multidatabases. Dynamic schema queries involve the creation a...
Nowadays, structured data such as sales and business forms are stored in data warehouses for decision makers to use. Further, unstructured data such as emails, html texts, images,...
