We examine the problem of evaluating selection queries over imprecisely represented objects. Such objects are used either because they are much smaller in size than the precise on...
In environments where exact synchronization between source data objects and cached copies is not achievable due to bandwidth or other resource constraints, stale (out-of-date) cop...
Navigational queries on Web-accessible life science sources pose unique query optimization challenges. The objects in these sources are interconnected to objects in other sources, ...
