New technologies used in biology are generating huge quantities of data; up to two petabytes of overall data are to be expected by the end of the decade. Modern biology also has t...
The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously materialized views over the database, rather than accessin...
We study the problem of generating e cient, equivalent rewritings using views to compute the answer to a query. We take the closed-world assumption, in which views are materialize...
This paper addresses the problem of de ning views that span several objectbases. Views are expressed in terms of an object algebra. We are interested in the degrees of coupling an...
View merging, also called view integration, is a key problem in conceptual modeling. Large models are often constructed and accessed by manipulating individual views, but it is im...
