Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing offers new opportunities for building highly distributed data systems. Unlike client-server computing, P2P can operate without central coordination and...
— An approximate string query is to find from a collection of strings those that are similar to a given query string. Answering such queries is important in many applications su...
Analysis of range queries on spatial (multidimensional) data is both important and challenging. Most previous analysis attempts have made certain simplifying assumptions about the...
Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
The emergence of multicore processors has increased the need for simple parallel programming models usable by nonexperts. The ability to specify subparts of a bigger data structur...
