Assume that two points p and q are given and a finite ordered set of simple polygons, all in the same plane; the basic version of a touring-a-sequence-of-polygons problem (TPP) is...
The popularity of location-based services and the need to do real-time processing on them has led to an interest in performing queries on transportation networks, such as finding s...
An approximate search query on a collection of strings finds those strings in the collection that are similar to a given query string, where similarity is defined using a given si...
Abstract-- Answering approximate queries on string collections is important in applications such as data cleaning, query relaxation, and spell checking, where inconsistencies and e...
We study the problem of answering queries over sources with limited access patterns. The problem is to decide whether a given query Q is feasible, i.e., equivalent to an executable...
