Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
: We propose in this article an object-oriented approach to rewriting queries using views. Our approach aims to mitigate certain limitations of existing query rewriting approaches....
The goal of a data integration system is to provide a uniform interface to a multitude of data sources. Given a user query formulated in this interface, the system translates it i...
Informationgathering requires locating and integrating data froma set of distributed informationsources. These sources maycontain overlapping data and can comefrom different types...
We recently proposed a new and efficient next-bestview algorithm for 3D reconstruction of indoor scenes using active range sensing. We overcome the computation difficulty of evalu...
