In a variety of applications, ranging from data integration to distributed query evaluation, there is a need to obtain sets of data items from several sources (peers) and compute ...
Many systems such as Tukwila and YFilter combine automaton and algebra techniques to process queries over tokenized XML streams. Typically in this architecture, an automaton is fi...
-- Publishing person specific data while protecting privacy is an important problem. Existing algorithms that enforce the privacy principle called l-diversity are heuristic based d...
Twig pattern matching (TPM) is the core operation of XML query processing. Existing approaches rely on either efficient data structures or novel labeling/indexing schemes to reduce...
Multi agent learning systems pose an interesting set of problems: in large environments agents may develop localised behaviour patterns that are not necessarily optimal; in a pure...
