According to the database outsourcing model, a data owner delegates database functionality to a thirdparty service provider, which answers queries received from clients. Authentic...
Abstract. We define a general concept of a network of analogue modules connected by channels, processing data from a metric space A, and operating with respect to a global continu...
Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
Given a dataset P and a preference function f, a top-k query retrieves the k tuples in P with the highest scores according to f. Even though the problem is well-studied in convent...
This paper presents analysis and design results for distributed consensus algorithms in multi-agent networks. We consider continuous consensus functions of the initial state of th...
