The gap between the user's information need and query is expanding due to the pervasiveness of Web search. Multimedia question answering is restricted by disjoint infrastruct...
Approximate query answering systems provide very fast alternatives to OLAP systems when applications are tolerant to small errors in query answers. Current sampling-based approach...
An important means of allowing non-expert end-users to pose ad hoc queries — whether over single databases or data integration systems — is through keyword search. Given a set...
The massive data streams observed in network monitoring, data processing and scientific studies are typically too large to store. For many applications over such data, we must ob...
We present our prototype system, OMCAT, which optimizes the reevaluation of a set of pending continuous spatio-temporal queries on trajectory data, when some of the trajectories a...
