We investigate the incremental validation of XML documents with respect to DTDs and XML Schemas, under updates consisting of element tag renamings, insertions and deletions. DTDs ...
Autonomous agents that communicate using probabilistic information and use Bayesian networks for knowledge representation need an update mechanism that goes beyond conditioning on ...
Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...
In this paper we present a novel approach for estimating the selectivity of XML twig queries. Such a technique is useful for approximate query answering as well as for determining...
Twig queries have been extensively studied as a major fragment of XPATH queries to query XML data. In this paper, we study PXMLRANK query, (Q, k), which is to rank top-k probabili...
