We consider extending decision support facilities toward large sophisticated networks, upon which multidimensional attributes are associated with network entities, thereby forming...
Indexes play a vital role in decision support systems by reducing the cost of answering complex queries. A popular methodology for choosing indexes that is adopted by database adm...
In-network sensor query processing systems (ISQPs), or sensor databases, have been developed to acquire, process and aggregate data from wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Because W...
