Estimation via sampling out of highly selective join queries is well known to be problematic, most notably in online aggregation. Without goal-directed sampling strategies, samples...
Wireless sensor networks offer the potential to span and monitor large geographical areas inexpensively. Sensors, however, have significant power constraint (battery life), makin...
Snapshot isolation (SI) provides significantly improved concurrency over 2PL, allowing reads to be non-blocking. Unfortunately, it can also lead to non-serializable executions in ...

This paper proposes GBM (gravitation-based model), a physical model for information retrieval inspired by Newton’s theory of gravitation. A mapping is built in this model from c...
Much of the literature on responsibility in the IT field addresses the responsibilities of members of the IT profession. In this paper, we investigate to what extent the responsibi...
