We consider a set of views stating possibly conflicting facts. Negative facts in the views may come, e.g., from functional dependencies in the underlying database schema. We want ...
Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
The database tier of dynamic content servers at large Internet sites is typically hosted on centralized and expensive hardware. Recently, research prototypes have proposed using d...
Despite decades of research in extensible operating system technology, extensions such as device drivers remain a significant cause of system failures. In Windows XP, for example,...
Sparse coding is a key principle that underlies wavelet representation of natural images. In this paper, we explain that the effort of seeking a common wavelet sparse coding of i...
