Outlier mining is a major task in data analysis. Outliers are objects that highly deviate from regular objects in their local neighborhood. Density-based outlier ranking methods score each object… (More)
In many situations, users would readily accept an approxima te query result if evaluation of the query becomes faster. In particular, this holds true for Nea rest-Neighbor Search (NN-Search), a… (More)
In many real world applications data is collected in multi-dimensional spaces, with the knowledge hidden in subspaces (i.e., subsets of the dimensions). It is an open research issue to select… (More)
Data warehouses offer a compromise between freshness of data and query evaluation times. However, a fixed preference ratio between these two variables is too undifferentiated. With our approach,… (More)
An important problem in software engineering is the automated discovery of noncrashing occasional bugs. In this work we address this problem and show that mining of weighted call graphs of program… (More)
Outlier analysis is an important data mining task that aims to detect unexpected, rare, and suspicious objects. Outlier ranking enables enhanced outlier exploration, which assists the user-driven… (More)
Join processing in wireless sensor networks is difficult: As the tuples can be arbitrarily distributed within the network, matching pairs of tuples is communication intensive and costly in terms of… (More)
A common approach to storage and retrieval of XML documents is to store them in a database, together with materialized views on their content. The advantage over "native" XML storage managers seems… (More)
Outlier mining is an important task for finding anomalous objects. In practice, however, there is not always a clear distinction between outliers and regular objects as objects have different roles… (More)
This article quantifies the benefit from simple data organization schemes and elementary query routing techniques for the PowerDB engine, a system that coordinates a cluster of databases. We report… (More)
