In this article, we address the problem of communication-efficient implementation of the SQL “join” operator in sensor networks. We design an optimal join-implementation algorithm that provably incurs minimum communication cost under certain reasonable assumptions. In addition, we design a much faster suboptimal heuristic that empirically delivers a near-optimal solution. We evaluate the performance of our designed algorithms through extensive simulations.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/communication-efficient-implementation-join-sensor-networks/}, pages = {447-460}, edition = {International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications}, }
