We propose the Multiple Join Path (MJP) framework for obtaining high quality information by linking fields across multiple databases, when the underlying databases have poor qual...
We address the problem of minimal-change integrity maintenance in the context of integrity constraints in relational databases. We assume that integrity-restoration actions are li...
Image texture can arise not only from surface albedo variations (2D texture) but also from surface height variations (3D texture). Since the appearance of 3D texture depends on th...
To select some "valuable" views for materialization is an essential challenge in OLAP system design. Several techniques proposed previously are not very scalable for syst...
Data items are often associated with a location in which they are present or collected, and their relevance or in uence decays with their distance. Aggregate values over such data...
