The probabilistic threshold query (PTQ) is one of the most common queries in uncertain databases, where all results satisfying the query with probabilities that meet the threshold...
: We develop and study the concept of dataflow process networks as used for example by Kahn to suit exact computation over data types related to real numbers, such as continuous fu...
: Structural queries constitute a special form of content-basedretrieval where the user specifiesa set of spatial constraints among query variables and asks for all configurations ...
Abstract. We present a parameterized approximation scheme for distributed combinatorial optimization problems based on dynamic programming. The algorithm is a utility propagation m...
As data management applications grow more complex, they may need efficient distributed query processing, but also subscription management, data archival etc. To enact such applicat...
