In this paper we present a generalized description of the Grover operator, employed in a quantum database search algorithm. We will discuss the relation between the original and ge...
Motivation: Database search programs such as FASTA, BLAST or a rigorous Smith–Waterman algorithm produce lists of database entries, which are assumed to be related to the query....
In this paper we consider the problem of efficiently producing results for full-text keyword search queries over XML documents. We describe full-text search query semantics and pr...
— As sensors continue to proliferate, the capabilities of effectively querying not only sensor data but also its metadata becomes important in a wide range of applications. This ...
Abstract. We introduce a novel situation-aware approach to personalize search results for mobile users. By providing a mobile user with appropriate information that dynamically sat...
