— We consider how to support a large number of users over a wide-area network whose interests are characterized by range top-k continuous queries. Given an object update, we need...
Incompleteness due to missing attribute values (aka "null values") is very common in autonomous web databases, on which user accesses are usually supported through media...
In data-integration systems, information sources often have various constraints such as “all houses stored at a source have a unique address.” These constraints are very usefu...
This paper presents our work on supporting evaluation of integrity constraint issues in semantic web instance data. We propose an alternative semantics for the ontology language, i...
Mathematical programs with nonlinear complementarity constraints are reformulated using better-posed but nonsmooth constraints. We introduce a class of functions, parameterized by...
