This paper introduces the Tuple Graph (TuG) synopses, a new class of data summaries that enable accurate selectivity estimates for complex relational queries. The proposed summari...
Abstract. In the framework of possibility theory, a tool named `fuzzy pattern matching' (FPM) has been proposed in the eighties and since successfully used in flexible queryin...

The database query optimizer requires the estimation of the query selectivity to find the most efficient access plan. For queries referencing multiple attributes from the same rel...
Besides traditional domains (e.g., resource allocation, data mining applications), algorithms for medoid computation and related problems will play an important role in numerous e...
