Research on recommender systems has primarily addressed centralized scenarios and largely ignored open, decentralized systems where remote information distribution prevails. Absenc...
Abstract. The rapid increase on the circulation of data over the web has highlighted the need for distributed storage of Internet-accessible information due to the rapid increase o...
Current simulations of P2P-networks don’t take any kind of schemas into account. We present a simulation-framework and first results for query routing based on extensible schema...
Abstract. The Web has been rapidly “deepened” with the prevalence of databases online. On this “deep Web,” numerous sources are structured, providing schema-rich data– Th...
Many users and applications require the integration of semi-structured data from autonomous, heterogeneous Web sources. Over the last years mediator systems have emerged that use d...
In this paper we thoroughly analyze a distributed procedure for the problem of local database update in a network of database peers, useful for data exchange scenarios. The algorit...

Highly heterogeneous XML data collections that do not have a global schema, as arising, for example, in federations of digital libraries or scientific data repositories, cannot be...
In ad hoc networks, devices have to cooperate in order to compensate for the absence of infrastructure. Yet, autonomous devices tend to abstain from cooperation in order to save th...
