Current approaches for answering queries with imprecise constraints require user-specific distance metrics and importance measures for attributes of interest - metrics that are ha...
Moving objects produce trajectories. We describe a data model for trajectories and trajectory samples and an efficient way of modeling uncertainty via beads for trajectory samples....
Query answering over OWLs and RDFs on the Semantic Web is, in general, a deductive process. To this end, OWL, a family of web ontology languages based on description logic, has be...
We study extensions of first-order logic over the reals with different types of transitive-closure operators as query languages for constraint databases that can be described by...
Abstract. We consider the use of a cluster system for managing autonomous databases. In order to improve the performance of read-only queries, we strive to exploit user requirement...
