Abstract—The imperfect nature of context in Ambient Intelligence environments and the special characteristics of the entities that possess and share the available context informa...
—We investigate techniques to automatically decompose any XQuery query—including updating queries specified by the XQuery Update Facility (XQUF)—into subqueries, that can be ...
—The popularity of location-based services and the need to do real-time processing on them has led to an interest in performing queries on transportation networks, such as findin...
— The data management community has recently begun to consider declarative network routing and distributed acquisition: e.g., sensor networks that execute queries about contiguou...

—A major assumption in many machine learning and data mining algorithms is that the training and future data must be in the same feature space and have the same distribution. How...
—Probabilistic topic models were originally developed and utilised for document modeling and topic extraction in Information Retrieval. In this paper we describe a new approach f...
This paper presents a novel algorithm for Incremental and General Evaluation of continuous Reverse Nearest neighbor queries (IGERN, for short). The IGERN algorithm is general in t...

—User profiling is a fundamental component of any personalization applications. Most existing user profiling strategies are based on objects that users are interested in (i.e., p...
This paper proposes a new problem, called superseding nearest neighbor search, on uncertain spatial databases, where each object is described by a multidimensional probability den...
