Probabilistic data have recently become popular in applications such as scientific and geospatial databases. For images and other spatial datasets, probabilistic values can capture...
Applications that monitor functions over rapidly and unpredictably changing data, express their needs as continuous queries. Our focus is on a rich class of queries, expressed as p...
Sequence-based XML indexing aims at avoiding expensive join operations in query processing. It transforms structured XML data into sequences so that a structured query can be answ...
Atomicity is an important specification that enables programmers to understand atomic blocks of code in a multi-threaded program as if they are sequential. This significantly simp...
This paper presents a type-based solution to the long-standing problem of object initialization. Constructors, the conventional mechanism for object initialization, have semantics...
