We consider the problem of optimizing the number of replicas for event information in wireless sensor networks, when queries are disseminated using expanding rings. We obtain clos...
Sensor networks have opened new horizons and opportunities for a variety of environmental monitoring, surveillance and healthcare applications. One of the major tasks of sensor ne...
Abstract. We consider the problem of specifying and computing consistent answers to queries against databases that do not satisfy given integrity constraints. This is done by simul...

For several reasons a database may not satisfy a given set of integrity constraints (ICs), but most likely most of the information in it is still consistent with those ICs; and cou...
Abstract. We describe an alternative construction of an existing canonical representation for definite Horn theories, the Guigues-Duquenne basis (or GD basis), which minimizes a n...
