Abstract. The need for location-based services has motivated an important research effort in the efficient processing of location-dependent queries. Most of the existing approaches...
Abstract. We study here fundamental issues involved in top-k query evaluation in probabilistic databases. We consider simple probabilistic databases in which probabilities are asso...
Background: Existing sequence alignment algorithms assume that similarities between DNA or amino acid sequences are linearly ordered. That is, stretches of similar nucleotides or ...
Abstract. Colored range queries are a well-studied topic in computational geometry and database research that, in the past decade, have found exciting applications in information r...
- Today there is a real challenge in accessing relevant information according to the needs and the context of the user. Recent studies have dynamically enhanced the user query with...
