We derive a new generalization of lowest common ancestors (LCAs) in dags, called the lowest single common ancestor (LSCA). We show how to preprocess a static dag in linear time su...
Graph-theoretic aggregation problems have been considered both in OLAP (grid graph) and XML (tree). This paper gives new results for MIN aggregation in a tree, where we want the M...
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...

We propose a new approach to ensure privacy in location based services, without requiring any support from a"trusted" entity. We observe that users of location based ser...
Data integration systems offer users a uniform interface to a set of data sources. Previous work has typically assumed that the data sources are independent of each other; however...
