A Forward Scan based Plane Sweep Algorithm for Parallel Interval Joins
Summary: Forward-scan plane-sweep for parallel interval joins; simple to implement, low memory, with two optimizations. Domain-based partitioning with non-duplicate results, mini-join decomposition, and adaptive core scheduling enable scalable parallelism; experiments validate efficiency.
