At a fundamental level, the key challenge in data integration is to reconcile the semantics of disparate data sets, each expressed with a different database structure. I argue th...
As mobile computing becomes widespread, so will the need for digital document delivery by hypertextual means. A further trend will be the provision of the ability for devices to de...
Peer-to-peer systems provide the opportunity to pool large amounts of distributed resources to enable internetscale applications. However, the participant nodes are highly dynamic...
—Efficient management of massive data sets is a key aspect in typical grid and e-science applications. To this end, the benefits of employing database technologies in such appl...
This paper offers a local distributed algorithm for expectation maximization in large peer-to-peer environments. The algorithm can be used for a variety of well-known data mining...
