In this paper we introduce the notion of constrained nearest neighbor queries (CNN) and propose a series of methods to answer them. This class of queries can be thought of as neare...
In the last decade, spatio-temporal database research focuses on the design of effective and efficient indexing structures in support of location-based queries such as predictive...
Views over probabilistic data contain correlations between tuples, and the current approach is to capture these correlations using explicit lineage. In this paper we propose an al...
Abstract. The term Deep Web (sometimes also called Hidden Web) refers to the data content that is created dynamically as the result of a specific search on the Web. In this respec...
Answering queries using views is a well-established technique in databases. In this context, two outstanding problems can be formulated. The first one consists in deciding whethe...
