A nearly optimal oracle for avoiding failed vertices and edges
We present an improved oracle for the distance sensitivity problem. The goal is to preprocess a directed graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights to answer queries of the f...

A Characterization of the Sensitivity of Query Optimization to Storage Access Cost Parameters
Most relational query optimizers make use of information about the costs of accessing tuples and data structures on various storage devices. This information can at times be off b...

Query Answering and Containment for Regular Path Queries under Distortions
Abstract. We give a general framework for approximate query processing in semistructured databases. We focus on regular path queries, which are the integral part of most of the que...
