In the paper we discuss the problem of data integration in a P2P environment. In such setting each peer stores schema of its local data, mappings between the schema and schemas of...
Data replication is a central technique to increase availability and performance of distributed systems. While offering many advantages it also requires more effort for ensuring d...

In this paper, we propose a bitmap approach for efficient subspace skyline computation in a distributed setting. Our approach computes extended skylines which have been shown to i...
Semantic peer to peer (P2P) systems are fully decentralized overlay networks of people or machines (called peers) sharing and searching varied resources (documents, videos, photos...

We introduce a fine grained access control mechanism for Peer-to-Peer collaborations. It is based on the local access control components of the participants. The peers export thei...

Ontology languages to represent ontologies exist in large numbers, and users who want to access or reuse ontologies can often be confronted with a language they do not know. Theref...

Ontologies are increasingly used to represent the intended real-world semantics of data and services in information systems. Unfortunately, different databases often do not relate ...

Abstract. Partial-match queries return data items that contain a subset of the query keywords and order the results based on the statistical properties of the matched keywords. The...
Current methods for selectivity estimation fall into two broad categories, synopsis-based and sampling-based. Synopsis-based methods, such as histograms, incur minimal overhead at ...
Given a set of N multi-dimensional points, we study the computation of -quantiles according to a ranking function F, which is provided by the user at runtime. Specifically, F compu...
