Three join algorithms are evaluated in an environment with distributed main-memory based mediators and data sources. A streamed ship-out join ships bulks of tuples to a mediator ne...
The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such that the r...
We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
Path traversals have been recognized as one of the strengths of object-oriented query processing as object retrieval can be carried out through pointer navigation. Apart from path...
Several studies have focused on the efficient processing of simple spatial query types such as selections and spatial joins. Little work, however, has been done towards the optimiz...
