We study the problem of computing query results with confidence values in ULDBs: relational databases with uncertainty and lineage. ULDBs, which subsume probabilistic databases, o...
Abstract-- When dealing with massive quantities of data, topk queries are a powerful technique for returning only the k most relevant tuples for inspection, based on a scoring func...
Databases often contain uncertain and imprecise references to real-world entities. Entity resolution, which is the process of reconciling multiple references to underlying real-wor...

Second order sliding modes are used to keep exactly a constraint of the second relative degree or just to avoid chattering, i.e. in the cases when the standard (first order) slidi...
