Spatial data are particularly useful in mobile environments. However, due to the low bandwidth of most wireless networks, developing large spatial database applications becomes a c...
Multi-join queries are the core of any integration service that integrates data from multiple distributed data sources. Due to the large number of data sources and possibly high v...
The class of unions of conjunctive queries (UCQ) has been shown to be particularly well-behaved for data exchange; its certain answers can be computed in polynomial time (in terms...
Given a set of objects and a query q, a point p is
called the reverse k nearest neighbor (RkNN) of q if q is one of
the k closest objects of p. In this paper, we introduce the c...
