Querying and integrating sources of structured data from the Web in most cases requires similarity-based concepts to deal with data level conflicts. This is due to the often errone...
This paper investigates the computational complexity of approximating several NPoptimization problems using the number of queries to an NP oracle as a complexity measure. The resu...
In this paper, we propose a bitmap approach for efficient subspace skyline computation in a distributed setting. Our approach computes extended skylines which have been shown to i...
Abstract. We address a fundamental question concerning spatio-temporal database systems: “What are exactly spatio-temporal queries?” We define spatio-temporal queries to be co...
