Huge amount of data with both space and text information, eg, geo-tagged tweets, is
flooding on the Internet. Such spatio-textual data stream contains valuable information for …

We introduce scalability for computer games as the next frontier for techniques from data
management. A very important aspect of computer games is the artificial intelligence (AI) of …

In many modern data management settings, data is queried from a central node or nodes,
but is stored at remote sources. In such a setting it is common to perform" push-style" query …

In this paper, we develop a framework for achieving scalable and communication-efficient
dissemination of content in pub/sub systems. To maximize communication sharing across …

Vehicular Networks (VANET) are the largest real life application of ad-hoc networks where
nodes are represented via fast moving vehicles. As VANET is characterised with several …

A dynamic data distribution system allows publication of data values for hierarchical keys
(paths) and subscriptions to key (path) patterns which include wildcard characters. Per …

Content-based publish/subscribe has gained high popularity for large-scale dissemination
of dynamic content. Yet it is highly challenging to enable communication-efficient …

An increasing number of distributed data-driven applications are moving into shared public
clouds. By sharing resources and operating at scale, public clouds promise higher utilization …

Most of currently available content-based publish-subscribe systems that were designed to
operate in large scale, wired scenarios, build their routing infrastructure as a set of brokers …
