In this paper we present a novel approach for estimating the selectivity of XML twig queries. Such a technique is useful for approximate query answering as well as for determining...
Any systematic decision-making design selects a decision strategy that makes the resulting closed-loop behaviour close to the desired one. Fully Probabilistic Design (FPD) describe...
We investigate the problem of how to extend constraint query languages with aggregate operators. We deal with standard relational aggregation, and also with aggregates speci c to ...
Index trees created using distance based indexing are difficult to maintain online since the distance function involved is often costly to compute. This problem is intensified whe...
Computing statistical information on probabilistic data has attracted a lot of attention recently, as the data generated from a wide range of data sources are inherently fuzzy or ...
