We study two fundamental static data structure problems, membership and perfect hashing, in Yao's cell probe model. The first space and bit probe optimal worst case upper bou...

Similarity queries in traditional databases work directly on attribute values. But, often similar attribute values do not indicate similar meanings. Semantic background information...
We introduce the new notion of XML Stream Attribute Grammars (XSAGs). XSAGs are the first scalable query language for XML streams (running strictly in linear time with bounded mem...
