Approximate databases: a support tool for approximate reasoning
This paper describes an experimental platform for approximate knowledge databases called the Approximate Knowledge Database (AKDB), based on a semantics inspired by rough sets. The...

Reactive Ranking for Cooperative Databases
A cooperative database allows the user to specify approximate or vague query conditions. A vague query requires the database system to rank the retrieved answers according to thei...

Querying about the Past, the Present, and the Future in Spatio-Temporal
Moving objects (e.g., vehicles in road networks) continuously generate large amounts of spatio-temporal information in the form of data streams. Efficient management of such strea...

ProApproX: a lightweight approximation query processor over probabilistic trees
We demonstrate a system for querying probabilistic XML documents with simple XPath queries. A user chooses between a variety of query answering techniques, both exact and approxim...

Searching in metric spaces by spatial approximation
We propose a new data structure to search in metric spaces. A metric space is formed by a collection of objects and a distance function de ned among them, which satis es the trian...
