Given a dataset containing sensitive personal information, a statistical database answers aggregate queries in a manner that preserves individual privacy. We consider the problem ...
This paper introduces an approach for adaptively brokering queries for exploiting streams produced and consumed by devices with limited computing and storage capacities. Such devi...
Probabilistic data is coming as a new deluge along with the technical advances on geographical tracking, multimedia processing, sensor network and RFID. While similarity search is...
We consider a macroscopic (drift-diffusion) model describing a simple microwave generator, consisting of a special type of semiconductor material that, when biased above a certain ...
Query optimizers use base-table statistics to derive statistics on the sub-plans that are enumerated during optimization. In practice, traditional optimizers rely on a number of s...
