We propose a general framework for improving the query processing performance on multi-level memory hierarchies. Our motivation is that (1) the memory hierarchy is an important pe...
A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
Given a large number of search engines on the Internet, it is di cult for a person to determine which search engines could serve his/her information needs. A common solution is to...

: An arithmetic approach, such as the Level-Finding method described in this paper for evaluating linear recursive queries in deductive database systems provides great potential fo...
Hardware cache behavior is an important factor in the performance of memory-resident, data-intensive systems such as XML filtering engines. A key data structure in several recent ...
