In this paper we present a novel approach for estimating the selectivity of XML twig queries. Such a technique is useful for approximate query answering as well as for determining...
Default logic is used to describe regular behavior and normal properties. We suggest to exploit the framework of default logic for detecting outliers - individuals who behave in a...
We study the complexity and the I/O-efficient computation of flow on triangulated terrains. We present an acyclic graph, the descent graph, that enables us to trace flow paths in ...
