In existing database systems there is a strong need for searching data according to many attributes. In commercial database platforms, the standard search over multiple attributes...
Uncertain data arises in a number of domains, including data integration and sensor networks. Top-k queries that rank results according to some user-defined score are an important...
With mobile computing and powerful laptops, databases with sensitive data can be physically retrieved by malicious users who can employ techniques that were not previously thought...
This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
