Xiao Bai: Toward Distributed Search

14.00, Room 455 at PCRI Abstract The rapid increasing amount of data on the Web provides a huge source of information but makes efficient search more challenging. Distributing the search is appealing to improve both efficiency and scalability. In this talk, we first present, in the context of social tagging systems, two gossip-based approaches that …

Irini Fundulaki: Heuristic based Query Optimisation for SPARQL

14:00, Room 445 at PCRI Abstract During the last decade we have witnessed an increase in the amount of semantic data. The so called Web of Data extents the current Web to a global data space connecting data from diverse domains. A central issue in such setting is the efficient support for storing, querying, and manipulating semantic RDF data. …

Zoltan Miklos: From problem decompositions to semantic interoperability: a journey between databases and artificial intelligence

14:00, Room N107 (Parc Club) Abstract Evaluating conjunctive queries over a relational database is a central problem of database theory. This problem is also closely related to constraint satisfaction problems in artificial intelligence. We discuss decomposition methods, that are an efficient ways to cope with the computational intractability of these problems. Then we discuss semantic …
