Abstract. We address a fundamental question concerning spatio-temporal database systems: “What are exactly spatio-temporal queries?” We define spatio-temporal queries to be co...
A formula in first-order logic can be viewed as a tree, with a logical connective at each node, and a knowledge base can be viewed as a tree whose root is a conjunction. Markov l...
A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
The representation of moving objects in spatial database systems has become an important research topic in recent years. As it is not realistic to track and store the location of ...
— Although efficient processing of probabilistic databases is a well-established field, a wide range of applications are still unable to benefit from these techniques due to t...
