This paper investigates a class of transform queries proposed by XQuery Update [6]. A transform query is defined in terms of XML update syntax. When posed on an XML tree T, it ret...
We introduce a novel framework for automatic detection of repeated patterns in real images. The novelty of our work is to formulate the extraction of an underlying deformed lattice...
We study the efficient evaluation of top-k queries over data items, where the score of each item is dynamically computed by applying an item-specific function whose parameter valu...

Modern web search engines are expected to return top-k results efficiently given a query. Although many dynamic index pruning strategies have been proposed for efficient top-k com...
In a number of application areas, distributed database systems can be used to provide persistent storage of data while providing efficient access for both local and remote data. W...
