on abstract principles that you can't easily apply in a formal, deductive fashion. So, the favorite tools of logicians and mathematicians, such as firstorder logic, aren'...
This article explores the utility of neural network ensembles in knowledge discovery and integration. A novel neural network ensemble model KBNNE (Knowledge-Based Neural Network E...
Semantic query optimization (SQO) has been proved to be quite useful in various applications (e.g., data integration, graphical query generators, caching, etc.) and has been extens...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
