With the total energy consumption of computing systems increasing in a steep rate, much attention has been paid to the design of energy-efficient computing systems and applications...
We formulate three intuitive semantic properties for topk queries in probabilistic databases, and propose GlobalTopk query semantics which satisfies all of them. We provide a dyn...
The paper investigates the use of topological annotations (called topological invariants) to answer topological queries in spatial databases. The focus is on the translation of to...
Query-oriented summarization aims at extracting an informative summary from a document collection for a given query. It is very useful to help users grasp the main information rel...
Keyword search over entity databases (e.g., product, movie databases) is an important problem. Current techniques for keyword search on databases may often return incomplete and i...
