Abstract. Controlled Query Evaluation (CQE) offers a logical framework to prevent a user of a database from inadvertently gaining knowledge he is not allowed to know. By modeling t...
Abstract. We consider the use of a cluster system for managing autonomous databases. In order to improve the performance of read-only queries, we strive to exploit user requirement...
We address the issue of designing effective query languages for OLAP databases. The basis of our investigation is MD, a new data model for multidimensional databases that, unlike ...
We present a data model for movies and movie databases. A movie is considered to be a 2-dimensional semialgebraic figure that can change in time. We give a number of computabilit...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between score and uncertainty makes traditio...
