Evaluation of probabilistic queries over imprecise data in constantly-evolving environments
Sensors are often employed to monitor continuously changing entities like locations of moving objects and temperature. The sensor readings are reported to a database system, and a...

A note on the distribution of the number of prime factors of the integers
The Chernoff-Hoeffding bounds are fundamental probabilistic tools. An elementary approach is presented to obtain a Chernoff-type upper-tail bound for the number of prime factors o...
