On the Computation of Approximations of Database Queries
Reflective Relational Machines were introduced by S. Abiteboul, C. Papadimitriou and V. Vianu in 1994, as variations of Turing machines which are suitable for the computation of ...

Approximating predicates and expressive queries on probabilistic databases
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...

Approximate Shortest Distance Computing: A Query-Dependent Local Landmark Scheme
—Shortest distance query between two nodes is a fundamental operation in large-scale networks. Most existing methods in the literature take a landmark embedding approach, which s...

Linear Approximation of Planar Spatial Databases Using Transitive-Closure Logic
We consider spatial databases in the plane that can be defined by polynomial constraint formulas. Motivated by applications in geographic information systems, we investigate line...
