We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
Large sensor networks are being widely deployed for measurement, detection, and monitoring applications. Many of these applications involve database systems to store and process d...
Difference, intersection, semi-join and anti-semi-join may be considered binary subset operators, in that they all return a subset of their left-hand argument. These operators are...

The goal of a data integration system is to provide a uniform interface to a multitude of data sources. Given a user query formulated in this interface, the system translates it i...
We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
We present a diff algorithm for XML data. This work is motivated by the support for change control in the context of the Xyleme project that is investigating dynamic warehouses ca...
With the advances in wireless communications and technologies of mobile devices, location-based applications or services will become an essential part of future applications. We h...
In this paper, we describe the design, architecture, and the lessons learned from the implementation of a fast regular expression indexing engine FREE. FREE uses a prebuilt index ...
