Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in hierarchical parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or...
Good heuristic solutions for large Multisource Weber problems can be obtained by solving related p-median problems in which potential locations of the facilities are users location...
Sensor networks can be viewed as large distributed databases, and SQL-like high-level declarative languages can be used for data and information retrieval. Energy constraints make ...
In this paper, we explore the problem of mapping filtering services on large-scale heterogeneous platforms. Two important optimization criteria should be considered in such a fra...
The development of a distributed database systemrequires effective solutions to many complex and interrelated design problems. The cost dependenciesbetween query optimization and ...
