Scientific instruments, such as radio telescopes, colliders, sensor networks, and simulators generate very high volumes of data streams that scientists analyze to detect and under...
Query optimization is used frequently in relational database management systems. Most existing techniques are based on reordering the relational operators, where the most selective...
Word usage is domain dependent. A common word in one domain can be quite infrequent in another. In this study we exploit this property of word usage to improve document routing. W...
Managing uncertain data using probabilistic frameworks has attracted much interest lately in the database literature, and a central computational challenge is probabilistic infere...
This paper investigates a class of transform queries proposed by XQuery Update [6]. A transform query is defined in terms of XML update syntax. When posed on an XML tree T, it ret...
