Pipelined spatial join processing for quadtree-based indexes
Spatial join is an important yet costly operation in spatial databases. In order to speed up the execution of a spatial join, the input tables are often indexed based on their spa...

Randomization in traffic information sharing systems
In this paper, we consider a traffic information sharing system based on Floating Car Data (FCD). FCD is one of the methods used to gather traffic information; it uses vehicles as...

A Generalization of the Pignistic Transform for Partial Bet
The Transferable Belief Model is a powerful interpretation of belief function theory where decision making is based on the pignistic transform. Smets has proposed a generalization ...

Knowledge Base Stratification and Merging Based on Degree of Support
Most operators for merging multiple knowledge bases (where each is a set of formulae) aim to produce a knowledge base as output that best reflects the information available in the ...

Using Transfinite Ordinal Conditional Functions
Abstract. Ordinal Conditional Functions (OCFs) are one of the predominant frameworks to define belief change operators. In his original paper Spohn defines OCFs as functions from t...

The Non-archimedean Polynomials and Merging of Stratified Knowledge Bases
In this paper, a new algebraic representation by the non-Archimedean fields is proposed to model stratified/ranked knowledge bases. The non-Archimedean representation is in the for...

Different Representations of Fuzzy Vectors
Fuzzy vectors were introduced as a description of imprecise quantities whose uncertainty originates from vagueness, not from a probabilistic model. Support functions are a classica...

Tree-Width for First Order Formulae
We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...

Confluence of Pure Differential Nets with Promotion
We study the confluence of Ehrhard and Regnier's differential nets with exponential promotion, in a pure setting. Confluence fails with promotion and codereliction in absence ...

Fixed-Point Definability and Polynomial Time
My talk will be a survey of recent results about the quest for a logic capturing polynomial time. In a fundamental study of database query languages, Chandra and Harel [4] first ra...
