Despite the existence of obstacles in many database applications, traditional spatial query processing utilizes the Euclidean distance metric assuming that points in space are dire...

Analyses of fMRI brain data are often based on statistical tests applied to each voxel or use summary statistics within a region of interest (such as mean or peak activation). Thes...

We introduce parameterized pattern queries as a new paradigm to extend traditional pattern expressions over sequence databases. A parameterized pattern is essentially a string mad...
We demonstrate the role of commonsense inference toward the modeling of qualitative notions of space and spatial change within a dynamic setup. The inference patterns are connecte...
In an object-relational database management system, a query optimizer requires users to provide cost models of userdefined functions. The traditional approach is analytical, that...
