Similarity search in time series databases is an important research direction. Several methods have been proposed in order to provide algorithms for efficient query processing in t...

We propose an approximation method to answer point-to-point shortest path queries in undirected edge-weighted graphs, based on random sampling and Voronoi duals. We compute a simp...

The class of unions of conjunctive queries (UCQ) has been shown to be particularly well-behaved for data exchange; its certain answers can be computed in polynomial time (in terms...
This paper introduces RankSQL, a system that provides a systematic and principled framework to support efficient evaluations of ranking (top-k) queries in relational database syst...

We introduce a new domain-independent framework for formulating and efficiently evaluating similarity queries over historical data, where given a history as a sequence of timestam...
