A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
With the total energy consumption of computing systems increasing in a steep rate, much attention has been paid to the design of energy-efficient computing systems and applications...
We formulate three intuitive semantic properties for topk queries in probabilistic databases, and propose GlobalTopk query semantics which satisfies all of them. We provide a dyn...
