We develop a new technique for proving lower bounds in property testing, by showing a strong connection between testing and communication complexity. We give a simple scheme for r...
Consistent query answering is the problem of computing the answers from a database that are consistent with respect to certain integrity constraints that the database as a whole ma...

Abstract. We study the complexity of model expansion (MX), which is the problem of expanding a given finite structure with additional relations to produce a finite model of a giv...

Complex similarity queries, i.e., multi-feature multi-object queries, are needed to express the information need of a user against a large multimedia repository. Even if a user in...
We consider the problem of computing an optimal range assignment in a wireless network which allows a specified source station to perform a broadcast operation. In particular, we ...
