Recently, there has been an increased focus on modeling uncertainty by distributions. Suppose we wish to compute a function of a stream whose elements are samples drawn independen...
A recently introduced information-theoretic approach to analyzing redundancies in database design was used to justify normal forms like BCNF that completely eliminate redundancies...
The query equivalence problem has been studied extensively for set-semantics and, more recently, for bag-set semantics. However, SQL queries often combine set and bag-set semantic...
The link structure of the Web can be viewed as a massive graph. The preferential attachment model and its variants are well-known random graph models that help explain the evoluti...
Skew is prevalent in data streams, and should be taken into account by algorithms that analyze the data. The problem of finding "biased quantiles"-- that is, approximate...
