Computing aggregates over distributed data sets constitutes an interesting class of distributed queries. Recent advances in peer-to-peer discovery of data sources and query process...
— A paramount challenge in probabilistic databases is the scalable computation of confidences of tuples in query results. This paper introduces an efficient secondary-storage o...
We study in this paper provenance information for queries with aggregation. Provenance information was studied in the context of various query languages that do not allow for aggr...
Data items are often associated with a location in which they are present or collected, and their relevance or in uence decays with their distance. Aggregate values over such data...
Hypertext systems are being used in many applications because of their flexible structure and the great browsing freedom they give to diverse communities of users. However, this s...
