Efficient range query processing on uncertain data

Uncertain data has emerged as a key data type in many applications. New and efficient query processing techniques need to be developed due to the inherent complexity of this new type of data. In this paper, we investigate a special type of query, range queries, on uncertain data. We propose a threshold interval indexing structure that aims to balance different time consuming factors to achieve an optimal overall query performance. Experimental results are presented to justify the efficiency of the proposed query processing technique.
