In this paper, we present two linear-size external memory data structures for approximate range searching. Our first structure, the BAR-B-tree, stores a set of N points in Rd and ...
We consider the problem of incorporating arbitrary preferences in planning systems. A preference may be seen as a goal or constraint that is desirable, but not necessary, to satis...
A common technique used to minimize I/O in data intensive applications is data declustering over parallel servers. This technique involves distributing data among several disks so...

Detecting bursts in data streams is an important and challenging task. Due to the complexity of this task, usually burst detection cannot be formulated using standard query operat...
We describe the XenoSearch system for performing expressive resource discovery searches in a distributed environment. We represent server meta-data, such as their locations and fa...
