Given an unlabeled, unweighted, and undirected graph with n vertices and small (but not necessarily constant) treewidth k, we consider the problem of preprocessing the graph to bui...
The detection of duplicate tuples, corresponding to the same real-world entity, is an important task in data integration and cleaning. While many techniques exist to identify such...
There has been a significant amount of excitement and recent work on column-oriented database systems ("column-stores"). These database systems have been shown to perfor...
Let be a finite, ordered alphabet, and consider a string x = x1x2 . . . xn n . A secondary index for x answers alphabet range queries of the form: Given a range [al, ar] , retu...
In this paper, we formalize the novel concept of Constrained Reverse k-Nearest Neighbor (CRkNN) search on mobile objects (clients) performed at a central server. The CRkNN query c...
