Fulvis: New approach for selecting views to materialize in Hybrid Information Integration

The most important disadvantage of the hybrid approach of information integration is the complexity of selecting the data to materialize, in particular if the data sources are changing and numerous. Several approaches have been proposed to make this task easier. In this paper, we show the shortcomings of the existing ones and we propose to cure this by offering a new flexible approach, we named Fulvis, based on fuzzy logic.
