Managing uncertain data using probabilistic frameworks has attracted much interest lately in the database literature, and a central computational challenge is probabilistic infere...
In this paper we present a mechanism for translating constraint queries, i.e., Boolean expressions of constraints, across heterogeneous information sources. Integrating such syste...
Most applications that access large data objects do so through file systems, but file systems provide an incomplete solution, as they maintain insufficient metadata and do not pro...
The performance of object reassembly, notably the most expensive operation andthereforemainlydeterminingtheoverallperformance, is clearly crucial for the success of object-oriente...
: Support for cooperative distributed applications is an important direction of computer systems research involving developments in operating systems, programming languages and dat...
