Time-parameterized queries (TP queries for short) retrieve (i) the actual result at the time that the query is issued, (ii) the validity period of the result given the current mot...
The use of the Yager's OWA operators within a flexible querying interface is discussed. The key issue is the adaptation of an OWA operator to the specifics of a user's qu...
We show that in the bounded degree model for graph property testing, adaptivity is essential. An algorithm is non-adaptive if it makes all queries to the input before receiving an...
This paper presents a principled framework for efficient processing of ad-hoc top-k (ranking) aggregate queries, which provide the k groups with the highest aggregates as results....
