Many users and applications require the integration of semi-structured data from autonomous, heterogeneous Web sources. Over the last years mediator systems have emerged that use d...
Thin plate splines are a well known entity of geometric design. They are defined as the minimizer of a variational problem whose differential operators approximate a simple notio...
We consider the problem of query containment over an object data model derived from F-logic. F-logic has generated considerable interest commercially, in the academia, and within ...
