Recently, a new family of massive self-organizing networks has emerged that not only serve as a communication infrastructure, but also mainly as a distributed query processing syst...
Recently, skyline queries have attracted much attention in the database research community. Space partitioning techniques, such as recursive division of the data space, have been ...
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...
Identifying peptides, which are short polymeric chains of amino acid residues in a protein sequence, is of fundamental importance in systems biology research. The most popular appr...
We consider a distributed information system that allows autonomous consumers to query autonomous providers. We focus on the problem of query allocation from a new point of view, ...
