We survey results on transitive-closure spanners and their applications. Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k 1, a k-transitive-closure-spanner (k-TC-spanner) of G ...
Existing work for query processing over graph data models often relies on pre-computing the transitive closure or path indexes. In this paper, we propose a family of stack-based a...
Discrete temporal transitions occur in a variety of domains, but this work is mainly motivated by applications in molecular biology: explaining and analyzing observed transcriptome...
User-defined preferences allow personalized ranking of query results. A user provides a declarative specification of his/her preferences, and the system is expected to use that ...
Reachability queries on large directed graphs have attracted much attention recently. The existing work either uses spanning structures, such as chains or trees, to compress the c...
