Given a dataset P and a preference function f, a top-k query retrieves the k tuples in P with the highest scores according to f. Even though the problem is well-studied in convent...
Estimation via sampling out of highly selective join queries is well known to be problematic, most notably in online aggregation. Without goal-directed sampling strategies, samples...
We proposed compressive data gathering (CDG) that leverages compressive sampling (CS) principle to efficiently reduce communication cost and prolong network lifetime for large scal...
As views in a data warehouse become more complex, the view maintenance process can become very complicated and potentially very inefficient. Storing auxiliary views in the warehou...
—Wireless sensor networks place sensors into an area to collect data and send them back to a base station. Data fusion, in which collected data are fused before they are sent to ...
