In order to answer efficiently range queries in 2-d R-trees, first we sort queries by means of a space filling curve, then we group them together, and finally pass them for process...
We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
Microaggregation is a technique used to protect privacy in databases and location-based services. We propose a new hybrid technique for multivariate microaggregation. Our techniqu...
Query optimizers in current database management systems (DBMS) often face problems such as intolerably long optimization time and/or poor optimization results when optimizing compl...
