We consider and analyze a new algorithm for balancing indivisible loads on a distributed network with n processors. The aim is minimizing the discrepancy between the maximum and m...
In large-scale distributed information systems, where participants are autonomous and have special interests for some queries, query allocation is a challenge. Much work in this c...
We present STAR, a self-tuning algorithm that adaptively sets numeric precision constraints to accurately and efficiently answer continuous aggregate queries over distributed data...

Relational query optimizers have traditionally relied upon table cardinalities when estimating the cost of the query plans they consider. While this approach has been and continue...
Email worms continue to be a persistent problem, indicating that current approaches against this class of selfpropagating malicious code yield rather meagre results. Additionally,...
