In applications such as vision and molecular biology, a common problem is to find the similar objects to a given target (according to some distance measure) in a large database. T...
In this paper we address the problem of minimizing the response time of a multi-way join query using pipelined (inter-operator) parallelism, in a parallel or a distributed environ...
Skyline queries help users make intelligent decisions over complex data, where different and often conflicting criteria are considered. Current skyline computation methods are rest...
