METU INteroperable DBMS (MIND) is a multidatabase system based on OMG's distributed object management architecture. It is implemented on top of a CORBA compliant ORB, namely,...
Complex database queries require the use of memory-intensive operators like sort and hashjoin. Those operators need memory, also referred to as SQL memory, to process their input ...
View mechanisms, widely used in the relational databases, pose new questions in the object model which captures much more semantics. In this paper, we will focus on inheritance and...
Skyline queries have gained a lot of attention for multicriteria analysis in large-scale datasets. While existing skyline algorithms have focused mostly on exploiting data dominan...
This paper exploits the spatial representation of state space problem graphs to preprocess and enhance heuristic search engines. It combines classical AI exploration with computati...
