Replication is a widely used method for achieving high availability in database systems. Due to the nondeterminism inherent in traditional concurrency control schemes, however, sp...
We report on a query compilation technique that enables the construction of alternative efficient query providers for Microsoft’s Language Integrated Query (LINQ) framework. LIN...
We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
Optimization of join queries based on average selectivities is suboptimal in highly correlated databases. In such databases, relations are naturally divided into partitions, each ...

Complex networks, such as biological, social, and communication networks, often entail uncertainty, and thus, can be modeled as probabilistic graphs. Similar to the problem of sim...
