Probabilistic databases have received considerable attention recently due to the need for storing uncertain data produced by many real world applications. The widespread use of pr...
The discovery of sequential patterns, which extends beyond frequent item-set finding of association rule mining, has become a challenging task due to its complexity. Essentially, ...
Text is ubiquitous and, not surprisingly, many important applications rely on textual data for a variety of tasks. As a notable example, information extraction applications derive...

In this paper, we propose and analyze a routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks that supports efficient image retrieval based on metadata queries. In digital photography, meta...
This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
