We describe the Consistency Extractor System (ConsEx) that computes consistent answers to Datalog queries with negation posed to relational databases that may be inconsistent with...
Hypothetical queries are queries embedding hypotheses about the database. The embedded hypothesis in a hypothetical query indicates, so to say, a state of the database intended for...
This article deals with consistent query answering to conjunctive queries under primary key constraints. The repairs of an inconsistent database db are obtained by selecting a max...
Efficient query processing is one of the basic needs for data mining algorithms. Clustering algorithms, association rule mining algorithms and OLAP tools all rely on efficient quer...
In applications like nancial trading, scheduling, manufacturing and process control, time based predicates in queries and rules are very important. There is also a need to dene ...
