The ability to store and query uncertain information is of great benefit to databases that infer values from a set of observations, including databases of moving objects, sensor r...
We present a data structure for efficient axis-aligned orthogonal range search on a set of n lines in a bounded plane. The algorithm requires O(log n + k) time in the worst case t...
Although data stored in XML is of increasing importance, most existing data repositories are still managed by relational database systems. In light of this, recent XML database re...
