The Closed-World Assumption (CWA) on databases expresses that an atom not in the database is false. A more appropriate assumption for databases that are sound but partially incomp...
We consider the problem of repairing a database that is inconsistent wrt a set of integrity constraints by updating numerical values. In particular, we concentrate on denial integ...
In this paper, we develop a general framework for approximate nearest neighbor queries. We categorize the current approaches for nearest neighbor query processing based on either ...
We consider spatial databases in the plane that can be defined by polynomial constraint formulas. Motivated by applications in geographic information systems, we investigate line...
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...
