Abstract. This paper aims at providing a rigorous definition of selforganization, one of the most desired properties for dynamic systems (e.g., peer-to-peer systems, sensor networ...
Given a set of query points, a dynamic skyline query reports all data points that are not dominated by other data points according to the distances between data points and query po...
Automatic categorization of user queries is an important component of general purpose (Web) search engines, particularly for triggering rich, query-specific content and sponsored ...
Many emerging applications operate on continuous unbounded data streams and need real-time data services. Providing deadline guarantees for queries over dynamic data streams is a ...
We present DITN, a new method of parallel querying based on dynamic outsourcing of join processing tasks to non-dedicated, heterogeneous computers. In DITN, partitioning is not th...
