Location-based spatial queries (LBSQs) refer to spatial queries whose answers rely on the location of the inquirer. Efficient processing of LBSQs is of critical importance with th...
Algorithms that exploit sort orders are widely used to implement joins, grouping, duplicate elimination and other set operations. Query optimizers traditionally deal with sort ord...
We present the design of Scoop, a system for indexing and querying stored data in sensor networks. Scoop works by collecting statistics about the rate of queries and distribution ...
Skyline query processing has been investigated extensively in recent years, mostly for only one query reference point. An example of a single-source skyline query is to find hotel...
We present a system that optimizes sequences of related client requests by combining small requests into larger ones, thus reducing per-request overhead. The system predicts upcom...
Data sources for data integration often come with spurious schema definitions such as undefined foreign key constraints. Such metadata are important for querying the database and ...
