We study the problem of answering spatial queries in databases where objects exist with some uncertainty and they are associated with an existential probability. The goal of a thre...

In Deep Web data integration, some Web database interfaces express exclusive predicates of the form Qe = Pi(Pi ∈ P1, P2, . . . , Pm), which permits only one predicate to be selec...
Decision-support applications generate queries with complex predicates. We show how the factorization of complex query expressions exposes significant opportunities for exploiting...
In the logical approach to information retrieval (IR), retrieval is considered as uncertain inference. Whereas classical IR models are based on propositional logic, we combine Dat...
The window query model is widely used in data stream management systems where the focus of a continuous query is limited to a set of the most recent tuples. In this dissertation, ...
