Large-scale distributed data management with P2P systems requires the existence of similarity operators for queries as we cannot assume that all users will agree on exactly the sa...
Abstract. As low-level architectural support for context-aware computing matures, we are ready to explore more general and powerful means of accessing context data. Information req...

Unstructured peer-to-peer infrastructure has been widely employed to support large-scale distributed applications. Many of these applications, such as locationbased services and m...
Peer-to-peer, or simply P2P, systems have recently emerged as a popular paradigm for building distributed applications. One key aspect of the P2P system design is the mechanism us...
Current federated systems deploy cost-based query optimization mechanisms; i.e., the optimizer selects a global query plan with the lowest cost to execute. Thus, cost functions in...
