This work addresses a problem of optimal query processing in heterogeneous and distributed multidatabase systems. The objective is to nd a method for opimization of global query p...
This paper provides a formal foundation for distributed workfiow executions. The state chart formalism is adapted to the needs of a workflow model in order to establish a basis for...
It is often the case that the set of values over which a B-Tree is constructed has a skewed distribution. We present a geometric growth technique to manage postings records in suc...
Many data sources on the Web evolve in the sense that they change their content over time, typically as a reaction to some event. Such changes often need to be mirrored in data on...
We introduce and investigate a distributed computation model for querying the Web. Web queries are computed by interacting automata running at different nodes in the Web. The auto...
