The question whether a given set of views, defined by queries, can be used to answer another query, arises in several contexts such as query optimization, data integration and se...
—The vision of the Semantic Web has brought about new challenges at the intersection of web research and data management. One fundamental research issue at this intersection is t...
Many applications in structure matching require the ability to search for graphs that are similar to a query graph, i.e., similarity graph queries. Prior works, especially in chem...
In this paper two concepts for modelling 3D topography are introduced. The first concept is a very pragmatic approach of 3D modelling, trying to model as much as possible in (less...
Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations....
