We present and analyze an algorithm for equivalent rewriting of XQuery queries using XQuery views, which is complete for a large class of XQueries featuring nested FLWR blocks, XM...
We consider the problem of "progressively" joining relations whose records are continuously retrieved from remote sources through an unstable network that may incur temp...

We initiate a novel study of clustering problems. Rather than specifying an explicit objective function to optimize, our framework allows the user of clustering algorithm to speci...
Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a prototype-based clustering algorithm dealing with graphs. We propose a hypergraph-based model for graph data sets by allowing clusters overl...
This paper investigates a new automated personal authentication technique using finger-knuckle-print (FKP) imaging. First, a specific data acquisition device is developed to captur...
