Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems offer an efficient means of data sharing among a dynamically changing set of a large number of autonomous nodes. Each node in a p2p system is connected...
There has been a significant amount of excitement and recent work on column-oriented database systems ("column-stores"). These database systems have been shown to perfor...
To compensate for the inherent impedance mismatch between the relational data model (tables of tuples) and XML (ordered, unranked trees), tree join algorithms have become the prev...
This paper addresses a fundamental and challenging problem with broad applications: efficient processing of region-based promotion queries, i.e., to discover the top-k most inter...
Spatio-temporal network is defined by a set of nodes, and a set of edges, where the properties of nodes and edges may vary over time. Such networks are encountered in a variety of...
