Supporting Data Uncertainty in Array Databases

Summary: Addresses value and position uncertainty in array databases, with formal semantics for uncertain array operations. Proposes replication-based storage to bound overhead for high-variance tuples; reports 1.7x–4.3x Subarray and 1–2 orders of magnitude for Structure-Join with modest storage.
