The ability to provide accurate and efficient result estimations of user queries is very important for the query optimizer in database systems. In this paper, we show that the tra...
Peer-to-peer Data Networks (PDNs) are large-scale, selforganizing, distributed query processing systems. Familiar examples of PDN are peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, which su...
Data integration systems provide a uniform query interface (UQI) to multiple, autonomous data sources [4]. This paper presents the universal data model (UDM) that captures the sem...
Research in temporal databases has mainly focused on defining temporal data models by extending existing models, and developing access structures for temporal data. Little has bee...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have proven to be an efficient and successful mechanism for file sharing over the Internet. However, current P2P protocols have long worst case query...
