We consider incomplete specifications of XML documents in the presence of schema information and integrity constraints. We show that integrity constraints such as keys and foreign ...
We address the problem of answering conjunctive queries over knowledge bases, specified by sets of first-order sentences called tuple-generating dependencies (TGDs). This problem i...
In this work we present in-network techniques to improve the efficiency of spatial aggregate queries. Such queries are very common in a sensornet setting, demanding more targeted t...
