Abstract. We present in this paper a new model for representing probabilistic information in a semi-structured (XML) database, based on the use of probabilistic event variables. Th...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between score and uncertainty makes traditio...

Interest in XML databases has been growing over the last few years. In this paper, we study the problem of incorporating probabilistic information into XML databases. We propose th...
Top-k queries based on ranking elements of multidimensional datasets are a fundamental building block for many kinds of information discovery. The best known general-purpose algor...
Classical retrieval models support content-oriented searching for documents using a set of words as data model. However, in hypertext and database applications we want to consider...
