In this paper we consider the problem of answering queries using views, with or without ontological constraints, which is important for data integration, query optimization, and d...
A linear code is said to be affine-invariant if the coordinates of the code can be viewed as a vector space and the code is invariant under an affine transformation of the coordin...
We study the problem of finding efficient equivalent viewbased rewritings of relational queries, focusing on query optimization using materialized views under the assumption that ...
Current information retrieval (IR) approaches do not formally capture the explicit meaning of a keyword query but provide a comfortable way for the user to specify information need...

Abstract. We define and study formal privacy guarantees for information integration systems, where sources are related to a public schema by mappings given by source-to-target dep...
