We propose a balanced tree structure overlay on a peer-to-peer network capable of supporting both exact queries and range queries efficiently. In spite of the tree structure caus...
XML and XQuery semantics are very sensitive to the order of the produced output. Although pattern-tree based algebraic approaches are becoming more and more popular for evaluating...
The skyline operator is important for multicriteria decision making applications. Although many recent studies developed efficient methods to compute skyline objects in a specifi...
