routing in wireless sensor networks (wsns) is a very challenging task due to the large number of nodes, their mobility and lack of proper infrastructure. since the sensors are battery powered devices, energy efficiency is considered as one of the main factors in designing routing protocols in wsns. most of energy-aware routing protocols are mere energy savers that attempt to decrease the energy...

A major problem in information retrieval is the difficulty to define the information needs of user and on the other hand, when user offers your query there is a vast amount of information to retrieval. Different methods , therefore, have been suggested for query expansion which concerned with reconfiguring of query by increasing efficiency and improving the criterion accuracy in the information...

The diffusion of social networks introduces new challenges and opportunities for advanced services, especially so with their ongoing addition of location-based features. We show how applications like company and friend recommendation could significantly benefit from incorporating social and spatial proximity, and study a query type that captures these twofold semantics. We develop highly scalab...

LONG PAPER. BaseX is an early adopter of the upcoming XQuery Full Text Recommendation. This paper presents some of the enhancements made to the XML database to fully support the language extensions. The system’s data and index structures are described, and implementation details are given on the XQuery compiler, which supports sequential scanning, index-based, and hybrid processing of full-text...

Query result diversification is widely used in data exploration, Web search, and recommendation systems. The problem of returning diversified query results consists of finding a small subset of valid query answers that are representative and different from one another, usually quantified by a diversity score. Most existing techniques for query diversification first compute all valid query resul...

The rapid development of the data Web is accompanied by increasing information needs from ordinary Web users for searching objects and their relations. To meet the challenge, this chapter presents Falcons Object Search, a keyword-based search engine for linked objects. To support various user needs expressed via keyword queries, for each object an extensive virtual document is indexed, which co...

In this paper, a recommendation system for querying web pages is developed. When users query web pages through a search engine, the query keywords, browsed web pages, and feedback values are collected as user query transactions. A clustering algorithm based on bipartite graph analysis is designed to determine clusters of query keywords and the browsed web pages, called access preference cluster...

Data analysts in industries spend more than 80% of time on data cleaning and integration in the whole process of data analytics due to data errors and inconsistencies. It calls for effective query processing techniques to tolerate the errors and inconsistencies. In this paper, we develop a distributed in-memory similarity-based query processing system called Dima. Dima supports two core similar...
