Discovering patterns or frequent episodes in transactions is an important problem in data-mining for the purpose of infering deductive rules from them. Because of the huge size of...
Patient medical record systems (MRS) merely offer static applications, in which mostly unstructured text is linked to coded data. In these applications the more common presentation...
Modern scientific applications consume massive volumes of data produced by computer simulations. Such applications require new data management capabilities in order to scale to te...
A number of researchers have become interested in the design of global-scale networked systems and applications. Our thesis here is that the database community's principles a...
Given a set of N multi-dimensional points, we study the computation of -quantiles according to a ranking function F, which is provided by the user at runtime. Specifically, F compu...
