There is an increasing trends towards distributed and shared repositories for storing scientific datasets. Developing applications that retrieve and process data from such reposit...
Anticipating the availability of large questionanswer datasets, we propose a principled, datadriven Instance-Based approach to Question Answering. Most question answering systems ...
We propose a distributed data structure for maintaining spatial data sets on message-passing, distributed memory machines. The data structure is based on orthogonal bisection tree...
A Replica Location Service (RLS) allows registration and discovery of data replicas. In earlier work, we proposed an RLS framework and described the performance and scalability of...
Abstract. The development of scalable parallel database systems requires the design of efficient algorithms for the join operation which is the most frequent and expensive operatio...
