Abstract. We show how to represent sets in a linear space data structure such that expressions involving unions and intersections of sets can be computed in a worst-case efficient ...
Incorporating probabilities into the semantics of incomplete databases has posed many challenges, forcing systems to sacrifice modeling power, scalability, or treatment of relatio...
We propose a multi-dimensional language called nD-SQL with the following features: (i) nD-SQL supports queries that interoperate amongst multiple relational sources with heterogen...
Background: New "next generation" DNA sequencing technologies offer individual researchers the ability to rapidly generate large amounts of genome sequence data at drama...
