This work addresses the problem of processing continuous nearest neighbor (NN ) queries for moving objects trajectories when the exact position of a given object at a particular t...
Web-based search engines such as Google and NorthernLight return documents that are relevant to a user query, not answers to user questions. We have developed an architecture that...

Evaluation of twig queries over probabilistic XML is investigated. Projection is allowed and, in particular, a query may be Boolean. It is shown that for a well-known model of pro...
We investigate the problem of ranking answers to a database query when many tuples are returned. We adapt and apply principles of probabilistic models from Information Retrieval f...
Many applications employ sensors for monitoring entities such as temperature and wind speed. A centralized database tracks these entities to enable query processing. Due to contin...
