We formulate three intuitive semantic properties for topk queries in probabilistic databases, and propose GlobalTopk query semantics which satisfies all of them. We provide a dyn...

This paper proposes a novel secure query processing model for semantic sensor networks. A semantic sensor network (SSN) is a sensor network which includes semantics of sensory dat...
We propose a method to evaluate queries using a last-resort semantic cache in a distributed Web search engine. The cache stores a group of frequent queries and for each of these qu...
The rapid growth of visual data over the last few years has lead to many schemes for retrieving such data. With content-based systems today, there exists a significant gap between...
