Sven Hartmann Book order

This two volume set of LNCS 11029 and LNCS 11030 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, DEXA 2018, held in Regensburg, Germany, in September 2018. The 35 revised full papers presented together with 40 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 160 submissions. The papers of the first volume discuss a range of topics including: Big data analytics; data integrity and privacy; decision support systems; data semantics; cloud data processing; time series data; social networks; temporal and spatial databases; and graph data and road networks. The papers of the second volume discuss a range of the following topics: Information retrieval; uncertain information; data warehouses and recommender systems; data streams; information networks and algorithms; database system architecture and performance; novel database solutions; graph querying and databases; learning; emerging applications; data mining; privacy; and text processing.

This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of three workshops held in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2008 in Auckland, New Zealand, September, 2008. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions for presentation in the following workshops: The First International Workshop on Web Information Systems Engineering for Electronic Businesses and Governments (E-BAG 2008), The Second International Workshop on Web Usability and Accessibility (IWWUA 2008), and The First International Workshop on Mashups, Enterprise Mashups and Lightweight Composition on theWeb (MEM and LCW 2008).

The book features a diverse range of topics, including invited talks and regular papers that explore various aspects of software product lines, geometric identification, and agent strategies. It discusses the aggregation of attack relations through a social-choice theoretical lens, alternative characterizations for program equivalence under answer-set semantics, and a new foundation for Defeasible Logic Programming. The content also addresses reasoning about data dependencies in fixed and undetermined universes, presenting autonomous sets for hypergraph decomposition relevant to database theory. Strategies for cost-minimizing data labeling, optimal stopping, and active learning are examined, along with reflections of view updates on relational database schemata and the merging of first-order knowledge using dilation operators. The existence of Armstrong instances with bounded domains and reasoning on data models during schema translation are also covered. Further, the book delves into tightly integrated probabilistic description logic programs for ontology mappings, the use of transversals for XML functional dependencies, and visibly pushdown transducers for streaming XML validation. Additionally, it presents a probabilistic logic with polynomial weight formulas, transformation-based view updating in deductive databases, effective argumentation algorithms, database preference queries in a possibilistic logic framework, and exp
