The goal of a data integration system is to provide a uniform interface to a multitude of data sources. Given a user query formulated in this interface, the system translates it i...
This work extends and improves a recently introduced (Dec. 2007) dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) based audio-visual automatic speech recognition (AVASR) system. That system models ...
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

Materialized views can provide massive improvements in query processing time, especially for aggregation queries over large tables. To realize this potential, the query optimizer ...
Existing work on multiway spatial joins focuses on the retrieval of all exact solutions with no time limit for query processing. Depending on the query and data properties, however...
