— A paramount challenge in probabilistic databases is the scalable computation of confidences of tuples in query results. This paper introduces an efficient secondary-storage o...
A set of n colored objects (points/hyperboxes) lie in IRd . Each object has a weight associated with it. Given a query orthogonal range q, for each distinct color c of the objects...
Geospatial image data obtained by satellites and aircraft are increasingly important to a wide range of applications, such as disaster management, climatology, and environmental m...
Over a traditional Database Management System (DBMS), the answer to an aggregate query is usually much smaller than the answer to a similar nonaggregate query. Therefore, we call ...
This paper addresses the problem of explaining missing answers in queries that include selection, projection, join, union, aggregation and grouping (SPJUA). Explaining missing ans...
