Abstract In recent years, researchers have begun to study inductive databases, a new generation of databases for leveraging decision support applications. In this context, the user...
Given a record set D and a query score function F, a top-k query returns k records from D, whose values of function F on their attributes are the highest. In this paper, we investi...
Although approximate query processing is a prominent way to cope with the requirements of data analysis applications, current database systems do not provide integrated and compre...
Scalable query answering over Description Logic (DL) based ontologies plays an important role for the success of the Semantic Web. Towards tackling the scalability problem, we prop...
Graph-structured databases and related problems such as reachability query processing have been increasingly relevant to many applications such as XML databases, biological databas...
