Given an integer k, a representative skyline contains the k skyline points that best describe the tradeoffs among different dimensions offered by the full skyline. Although this to...
This paper presents a novel method for efficient boundary based shapes matching and retrieval in presence of occlusion. In this method, the geometric and topological information o...
We introduce the problem of query decomposition, where we are given a query and a document retrieval system, and we want to produce a small set of queries whose union of resulting...

Existing hierarchical summarization techniques fail to provide synopses good in terms of relative-error metrics. This paper introduces multiplicative synopses: a summarization par...
— This work aims at minimize the cost of answering snapshot multi-predicate queries in high-communication-cost networks. High-communication-cost (HCC) networks is a family of net...
