As large-scale databases become commonplace, there has been signi cant interest in mining them for commercial purposes. One of the basic tasks that underlies many of these mining ...
We consider in this paper how to leverage heterogeneous mobile computing capability for efficient processing of real-time range-monitoring queries. In our environment, each mobil...
Query expansion is extensively applied in information retrieval systems, such as search engines. Most conventional approaches to query expansion have been developed based on textua...
Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
