Abstract:SUMMARY In this paper, we propose a communication-efficient top-k continuous query processing method on distributed local nodes where data are horizontally partitioned.

The final results are requested via a top-k subscription which lets local nodes know which data and updates need to be returned to users. Our proposed method makes use of the active previously posed queries to identif… Show more
