Abstract. We give a general framework for approximate query processing in semistructured databases. We focus on regular path queries, which are the integral part of most of the que...
The e-services paradigm promises to enable rich, flexible, and dynamic inter-operation of highly distributed, heterogeneous networkenabled services. Among the challenges, a funda...

Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
