Current information retrieval (IR) approaches do not formally capture the explicit meaning of a keyword query but provide a comfortable way for the user to specify information need...

Query containment is a fundamental algorithmic problem in database query processing and optimization. Under set semantics, the query-containment problem for conjunctive queries ha...
Research on Moving Object Databases (MOD) has resulted in sophisticated query mechanisms for moving objects and regions. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) support a wide range of app...
The W3C's Semantic Web Activity is illustrating the use of semantics for information integration, search, and analysis. However, the majority of the work in this community ha...
