In this paper, we show how using data mining algorithms can help discovering pedagogically relevant knowledge contained in databases obtained from Web-based educational systems. Th...
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...
In a database system, read operations are much more common than write operations, and consequently, database systems have been read optimized. As the size of main memory increases...
This paper describes issues encountered in the design and implementation of a parallel object-oriented database system. In particular, we find that the design of a client/server ...
