Life science laboratories today have to rely on procedural techniques to store and manage large sequence datasets. Procedural techniques are cumbersome to use and are often very i...
Many applications require finding objects closest to a specified location that contains a set of keywords. For example, online yellow pages allow users to specify an address and a ...
We are developing an object-oriented real-time database system that includes a relationally complete query language. Unlike conventional query optimizers, our optimizer estimates ...
The main task in decision tree construction algorithms is to find the "best partition" of the set of objects. In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal binary ...
My talk will be a survey of recent results about the quest for a logic capturing polynomial time. In a fundamental study of database query languages, Chandra and Harel [4] first ra...
