Exact computation for aggregate queries usually requires large amounts of memory ? constrained in data-streaming ? or communication ? constrained in distributed computation ? and ...
Previous studies of incomplete XML documents have identified three main sources of incompleteness – in structural information, data values, and labeling – and addressed data ...
