We study efficient query processing in distributed web search engines with global index organization. The main performance bottleneck in this case is due to the large amount of i...
Recent research in domain-independent information extraction holds the promise of an automatically-constructed structured database derived from the Web. A query system based on th...
Systems designed for efficient retrieval of conventional data can be very inefficient at retrieving documents. Documents have more complex structure than conventional data, and th...
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...
Haptic data such as 3D motion capture data and sign language animation data are new forms of multimedia data. The motion data is multi-attribute, and indexing of multiattribute da...
