Abstract. Given a point query Q in multi-dimensional space, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) queries return the K closest answers in the database with respect to Q. In this scenario, it is...
We consider the problem of data sharing between autonomous data sources in an environment where constraints cannot be placed on the shared contents of sources. Our solutions rely ...
Record linkage analysis, which matches records referring to the same real world entities from different data sets, is an important task in data integration. Uncertainty often exi...
The Internet has changed the way people look for information. Users now expect the answers to their questions to be available through a simple web search. Web search engines are i...
This work addresses the problem of processing continuous nearest neighbor (NN ) queries for moving objects trajectories when the exact position of a given object at a particular t...
