Advances in Databases and Information Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2004, held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 2004. The 27 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 130 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on constraint databases, deductive databases, heterogenous and Web information systems, cross enterprise information systems, knowledge discovery, database modeling, XML and semistructured databases, physical database design and query evaluation, transaction management and workflow systems, query processing and data streams, spatial databases, and agents and mobile systems.
Logics for Emerging Applications of Databases
In this era of heterogeneous and distributed data sources, ranging from semistructured documents to knowledge about coordination processes or workflows, logic provides a rich set of tools and techniques with which to address the questions of how to represent, query and reason about complex data. This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of research on the application of logic-based methods to information systems, covering highly topical and emerging fields: XML programming and querying, intelligent agents, workflow modeling and verification, data integration, temporal and dynamic information, data mining, authorization, and security. It provides both scientists and graduate students with a wealth of material and references for their own research and education.
Foundations of Data Quality Management
Data quality is one of the most important problems in data management. A database system typically aims to support the creation, maintenance, and use of large amount of data, focusing on the quantity of data. However, real-life data are often dirty: inconsistent, duplicated, inaccurate, incomplete, or stale. Dirty data in a database routinely generate misleading or biased analytical results and decisions, and lead to loss of revenues, credibility and customers. With this comes the need for data quality management. In contrast to traditional data management tasks, data quality management enables the detection and correction of errors in the data, syntactic or semantic, in order to improve the...
Database Programming Languages
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Database Programming Languages, DBPL 2007, held in conjunction with VLDB 2007. The 16 revised full papers presented together with one invited lecture were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing. The papers are organized in topical sections on algorithms, XML query languages, inconsistency handling, data provenance, emerging data models, and type checking.
Scalable Uncertainty Management
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management, SUM 2010, held in Toulouse, France, in September 2010. The 26 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 2 invited talks and 6 “discussant” contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers cover all areas of managing substantial and complex kinds of uncertainty and inconsistency in data and knowledge, including applications in decision-support systems, negotiation technologies, semantic web applications, search engines, ontology systems, information retrieval, natural language processing, information extraction, image recognition, vision systems, text mining, and data mining, and consideration of issues such as provenance, trust, heterogeneity, and complexity of data and knowledge.
Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Management
This book is a collection of representative and novel works done in Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Clustering and Classification that were originally presented in French at the EGC'2013 (Toulouse, France, January 2013) and EGC'2014 Conferences (Rennes, France, January 2014). These conferences were respectively the 13th and 14th editions of this event, which takes place each year and which is now successful and well-known in the French-speaking community. This community was structured in 2003 by the foundation of the French-speaking EGC society (EGC in French stands for "Extraction et Gestion des Connaissances" and means "Knowledge Discovery and Management", or KDM). This book is aiming at all researchers interested in these fields, including PhD or MSc students, and researchers from public or private laboratories. It concerns both theoretical and practical aspects of KDM. The book is structured in two parts called "Applications of KDM to real datasets" and "Foundations of KDM".
Computational Models of Argument
In its classical form, the study of argumentation focuses on human-oriented uses of argument, such as whether an argument is legitimate or flawed, engagement in debate, or the rhetorical aspects of argumentation. In recent decades, however, the study of logic and computational models of argumentation has emerged as a growing sub-area of AI. This book presents the Seventh International Conference on Computational Models of Argument (COMMA’18), held in Warsaw, Poland, from 12 to 14 September 2018. Since its inception in 2006, the conference and its related activities have developed alongside the steady growth of interest in computational argumentation worldwide, and the selection of 25 full ...
Inconsistency Tolerance
Inconsistency arises in many areas in advanced computing. Often inconsistency is unwanted, for example in the specification for a plan or in sensor fusion in robotics; however, sometimes inconsistency is useful. Whether inconsistency is unwanted or useful, there is a need to develop tolerance to inconsistency in application technologies such as databases, knowledge bases, and software systems. To address this situation, inconsistency tolerance is being built on foundational technologies for identifying and analyzing inconsistency in information, for representing and reasoning with inconsistent information, for resolving inconsistent information, and for merging inconsistent information. The idea for this book arose out of a Dagstuhl Seminar on the topic held in summer 2003. The nine chapters in this first book devoted to the subject of inconsistency tolerance were carefully invited and anonymously reviewed. The book provides an exciting introduction to this new field.
Flexible Query Answering Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Flexible Query Answering Systems, FQAS 2011, held in Roskilde, Denmark, in October 2011. The 43 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on logical approaches to flexible querying, fuzzy logic in spatial and temporal data modeling and querying, knowledge-based approaches, multimedia, data fuzziness, reliability and trust, information retrieval, preference queries, flexible querying of graph data, ranking, ordering and statistics, query recommendation and interpretation, as well as on fuzzy databases and applications (8 papers presented in a special session).
Database Programming Languages
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Database Programming Languages, DBPL 2001, held in Frascati, Italy, in September 2001. The 18 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on semistructured data; OLAP and data mining; systems, schema integration, and index concurrency; XML; spatial databases; user languages; and rules.
