: While the common kinds of uncertainties in databases (e.g., null values, disjunction, corrupt/missing data, domain mismatch, etc.) have been extensively studied, a relatively une...
Taxonomic case-based reasoning is a conversational casebased reasoning methodology that employs feature subsumption taxonomies for incremental case retrieval. Although this approa...
Many real-world problems are characterized by complex relational structure, which can be succinctly represented in firstorder logic. However, many relational inference algorithms ...
Abstract. We study the lattice structure of sets (monoids) of surjective hyper-operations on an n-element domain. Through a Galois connection, these monoids form the algebraic coun...
In the geometric data model [6], spatio-temporal data are modelled as a finite collection of triangles that are transformed by time-dependent affinities. To facilitate querying an...
