Many data-driven social and Web applications involve collaboration and coordination. The vision of declarative data-driven coordination (D3C), proposed in [9], is to support coord...
Spatial indexes, such as the PMR quadtree, are important in spatial databases for efficient execution of queries involving spatial constraints, especially when the queries involve...
We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
We present a new family of hybrid index maintenance strategies to be used in on-line index construction for monotonically growing text collections. These new strategies improve up...
Composition of mappings between schemas is essential to support schema evolution, data exchange, data integration, and other data management tasks. In many applications, mappings ...
