Scientific experiments produce large volumes of data represented as complex objects that describe independent events such as particle collisions. Scientific analyses can be express...
In this paper, we consider the problem of keyword query cleaning for structured databases from a probabilistic approach. Keyword query cleaning consists of rewriting the user quer...
This paper considers a multi-query optimization issue for distributed similarity query processing, which attempts to exploit the dependencies in the derivation of a query evaluati...
