An approach to target-based image retrieval is described based on on-line rank-based learning. User feedback obtained via interaction with 2D image layouts provides qualitative co...
We study XML stream-specific schema-based optimization. We assume a widely-adopted automata-based execution model for XQuery evaluation. Criteria are established regarding what s...
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
Abstract. XML query processors suffer from main-memory limitations that prevent them from processing large XML documents. While content-based predicates can be used to project down...
A federated database is comprised of multiple interconnected database systems that primarily operate independently but cooperate to a certain extent. Global integrity constraints c...
