In 1998, Impagliazzo and Wigderson [IW98] proved a hardness vs. randomness tradeoff for BPP in the uniform setting, which was subsequently extended to give optimal tradeoffs for t...
Data exchange deals with inserting data from one database into another database having a different schema. We study and solve a central computational problem of data exchange, nam...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
We consider a set of views stating possibly conflicting facts. Negative facts in the views may come, e.g., from functional dependencies in the underlying database schema. We want ...
