Execution of programs with data parallel language constructs is either based on the fork/join or on the SPMD model. Whereas the former executes a program sequentially and confines...
A novel data source for assessing traffic conditions is floating car data (FCD) in the form of vehicle tracking data, or, in database terms, trajectory data. This work proposes pr...
This paper presents flexible protocols for dynamic database design and reconfiguration, enabling mobile database to be designed in such a way that data location, replication and e...
Scalable execution of continuous queries over massive data streams often requires splitting input streams into parallel sub-streams over which query operators are executed in paral...
In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
