Probabilistic data have recently become popular in applications such as scientific and geospatial databases. For images and other spatial datasets, probabilistic values can capture...
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...
Many decades of work have been invested in the area of distributed transactions including protocols such as 2PC, Paxos, and various approaches to quorum. These protocols provide t...
There has been a recent surge in work in probabilistic databases, propelled in large part by the huge increase in noisy data sources -from sensor data, experimental data, data fro...
Background: With the completion of the Human Genome Project and recent advancements in mutation detection technologies, the volume of data available on genetic variations has rise...
