Existing estimation approaches for multi-dimensional databases often rely on the assumption that data distribution in a small region is uniform, which seldom holds in practice. Mo...
We propose multi-precision similarity matching where the image is divided into a number of subblocks, each with its associated color histogram. We present experimental results sho...
This paper describes how query formulation can be made simple and less complicated by using ontologies. It takes a brief look at several advantages of using ontologies in a distri...
We introduce query-free information retrieval, a paradigm in which queries are constructed autonomously and information relevant to a user is offered without explicit request. Que...
The Closed-World Assumption (CWA) on databases expresses that an atom not in the database is false. A more appropriate assumption for databases that are sound but partially incomp...
