In this paper, an algorithm for obtaining consistent answers to queries posed to inconsistent relational databases is presented. The algorith is proven to be sound, terminating and...
We study functional and multivalued dependencies over SQL tables with NOT NULL constraints. Under a no-information interpretation of null values we develop tools for reasoning. We...
We propose an extended relational database model which can model both uncertainty and imprecision in data. This model is basedon Dempster-Shafertheory which has become popular in ...
We study the representation, derivation and utilization of a special kind of constraints in multidatabase systems. A major challenge is when component database schemas are schemat...
In order to understand similarity between images, recent research has focused on adaptable searches [9] and fuzzy queries [4]. However, one of the best means for determining simil...
