Modeling objects by probability density functions (pdf) is a new powerful method to represent complex objects in databases. By representing an object as a pdf, e.g. a Gaussian, it...
The adaptation of software technology to distributed environments is an important challenge today. In this work we combine parallel and distributed search. By this way we add the ...
Automata for unranked trees form a foundation for XML schemas, querying and pattern languages. We study the problem of efficiently minimizing such automata. First, we study unrank...
We consider the problem of document conversion from the renderingoriented HTML markup into a semantic-oriented XML annotation defined by user-specific DTDs or XML Schema descrip...
While the decision tree is an effective representation that has been used in many domains, a tree can often encode a concept inefficiently. This happens when the tree has to repres...
