Hybrid peer-to-peer architectures use special nodes to provide directory services for regions of the network (“regional directory services”). Hybrid peer-to-peer architectures...
High dimensional data sets are encountered in many modern database applications. The usual approach is to construct a summary of the data set through a lossy compression technique...
