We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...
There exists a positive constant < 1 such that for any function T(n) n and for any problem L BPTIME(T(n)), there exists a deterministic algorithm running in poly(T(n)) time w...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between query scores and data uncertainty ma...

Abstract--This paper is focusing on exact Bayesian reasoning in systems of agents, which represent weakly coupled processing modules supporting collaborative inference through mess...
Uncertain data is inherent in a few important applications such as environmental surveillance and mobile object tracking. Top-k queries (also known as ranking queries) are often n...
