In the rank join problem we are given a relational join R1 1 R2 and a function that assigns numeric scores to the join tuples, and the goal is to return the tuples with the highes...
In the rank join problem, we are given a set of relations and a scoring function, and the goal is to return the join results with the top K scores. It is often the case in practic...
This paper presents a set of algorithms for efficiently evaluating join queries over static data tables in sensor networks. We describe and evaluate three algorithms that take adv...
In many applications, the underlying data (the web, an XML document, or a relational database) can be seen as a graph. These graphs may be enriched with weights, associated with t...
In this paper we propose a novel late join algorithm for distributed applications with a fully replicated architecture (e.g. shared whiteboards). The term `late join algorithm'...
