Abstract-- Particle simulation has become an important research tool in many scientific and engineering fields. Data generated by such simulations impose great challenges to databa...
We present a flexible query allocation framework, called Satisfaction-based Query Allocation (SbQA for short), for distributed information systems where both consumers and provider...
Abstract-- Join processing in wireless sensor networks is difficult: As the tuples can be arbitrarily distributed within the network, matching pairs of tuples is communication inte...
Requirements from new types of applications call for new database system solutions. Computational science applications performing distributed computations on Grid networks with req...
Existing approaches on privacy-preserving data publishing rely on the assumption that data can be divided into quasi-identifier attributes (QI) and sensitive attribute (SA). This ...

Recent work has shown the importance of considering the adversary’s background knowledge when reasoning about privacy in data publishing. However, it is very difficult
for the d...
Context is any information used to characterize the situation of an entity. Examples of contexts includetime, location, identity, and activity of a user. This paper proposes a gene...
