Existing sequence comparison software applications lack automation, abstraction, performance, and flexibility. Users need a new way of studying and applying sequence comparisons i...
The B-tree is a fundamental external index structure that is widely used for answering one-dimensional range reporting queries. Given a set of N keys, a range query can be answere...
In an uncertain database, each data item is modeled as a range associated with a probability density function. Previous works for this kind of data have focussed on simple queries...
We consider the problem of horizontally partitioning a dynamic relation across a large number of disks/nodes by the use of range partitioning. Such partitioning is often desirable...
In this paper we consider the problem of answering queries using views, with or without ontological constraints, which is important for data integration, query optimization, and d...
