Many emerging data mining applications require a similarity join between points in a high-dimensional domain. We present a new algorithm that utilizes a new index structure, calle...
Transaction delegation, as introduced in ACTA, allows a transaction to transfer responsibility for the operations that it has performed on an object to another transaction. Delega...
Data warehouses collect copies of information from remote sources into a single database. Since the remote data is cached at the warehouse, it appears as local relations to the us...
We demonstrate the use of a hyper-programming system in building persistent applications. This allows program representations to contain type-safe links to persistent objects embe...

The need to transform data between heterogeneous databases arises from a number of critical tasks in data management. These tasks are complicated by schema evolution in the underl...
A mediator is a domain-speci c tool to support uniform access to multiple heterogeneous information sources and to abstract and combine data from different but related databases t...
