We propose a framework for modeling sequence motifs based on the maximum entropy principle (MEP). We recommend approximating short sequence motif distributions with the maximum en...
We introduce range writes, a simple but powerful change to the disk interface that removes the need for file system micromanagement of block placement. By allowing a file system t...

Two central criteria for data quality are consistency and accuracy. Inconsistencies and errors in a database often emerge as violations of integrity constraints. Given a dirty dat...
Abstract The top-k dominating query returns k data objects which dominate the highest number of objects in a dataset. This query is an important tool for decision support since it ...
Uncertain data is inherent in a few important applications such as environmental surveillance and mobile object tracking. Top-k queries (also known as ranking queries) are often n...
