We present a simple and practical data structure for storing a (not necessarily convex) polyhedron P which can, given a query surface S cutting the polyhedron, determine the volume...
We present a formal framework for capturing the provenance of data appearing in XQuery views of XML. Building on previous work on relations and their (positive) query languages, w...
Given an author-conference graph, how do we answer proximity queries (e.g., what are the most related conferences for John Smith?); how can we tailor the search result if the user...
The relational model, as proposed by Codd, contained the concept of relations as tables composed of tuples of single valued attributes taken from a domain. In most of the early lit...
This paper presents a novel algorithm for Incremental and General Evaluation of continuous Reverse Nearest neighbor queries (IGERN, for short). The IGERN algorithm is general as it...
