Uncertain data arises in a number of domains, including data integration and sensor networks. Top-k queries that rank results according to some user-defined score are an important...
We present a flexible query allocation framework, called Satisfaction-based Query Allocation (SbQA for short), for distributed information systems where both consumers and provider...
Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
