The power of search is with no doubt one of the main aspects for the success of the Web. Currently available search engines on the Web allow to return results with a high precisio...
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
: The paper is concerned with the effective and efficient processing of spatiotemporal selection queries under varying degrees of approximation. Such queries may employ operators l...
We study highly expressive query languages such as datalog, fixpoint, and while-languages on probabilistic databases. We generalize these languages such that computation steps (e....
