We study the problem of answering queries through a target schema, given a set of mappings between one or more source schemas and this target schema, and given that the data is at...
We investigate the question of whether a query can be answered using a set V of views. We first define the problem in information-theoretic terms: we say that V determines if V pr...
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...
Many data-intensive applications dynamically construct queries in response to client requests and execute them. Java servlets, e.g., can create string representations of SQL queri...
Topographic querying is the process of extracting data from a sensor network for understanding the graphic delineation of features of interest in a terrain. Query processing techn...
