In the MINIMUM BOUNDED DEGREE SPANNING TREE problem, we are given an undirected graph with a degree upper bound Bv on each vertex v, and the task is to find a spanning tree of min...
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...

The growing nature of databases, and the flexibility inherent in the SQL query language that allows arbitrarily complex formulations, can result in queries that take inordinate am...
This paper introduces a class of conditional inclusion dependencies (CINDs), which extends traditional inclusion dependencies (INDs) by enforcing bindings of semantically related ...
We propose XRPC, a minimal XQuery extension that enables distributed yet efficient querying of heterogeneous XQuery data sources. XRPC enhances the existing concept of XQuery func...
