We present a semantic caching approach for optimizing the performance of information mediators. A critical problem with information mediators, particularly those gathering and int...
Data integration systems often provide a uniform query interface, called a mediated schema, to a multitude of data sources. To answer user queries, such systems employ a set of se...
For time-dependent scalar fields, one is often interested in topology changes of contours in time. In this paper, we focus on describing how contours split and merge over a certa...
Abstract Constraint logic programming (CLP) is a generalization of the pure logic programming paradigm, having similar model-theoretic, fixpoint and operational semantics [9]. Sinc...
We address the problem of reasoning with instances of heterogeneously formalized ontologies. Given a set of semantic mappings, reconciling conceptual and instance level heterogenei...
