Abstract: Peer data management systems (PDMS) are a highly dynamic, decentralized infrastructure for large-scale data integration. They consist of a dynamic set of autonomous peers...
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...
The Web is moving toward a collection of interoperating Web services. Achieving this interoperability requires dynamic discovery of Web services on the basis of their capabilities...
Support vector machine (SVM) is one of the most popular and promising classification algorithms. After a classification rule is constructed via the SVM, it is essential to evaluat...
Database selection is an important step when searching over large numbers of distributed text databases. The database selection task relies on statistical summaries of the databas...
