A Datalog program can be translated into a system of fixpoint equations of relational algebra; this paper studies how such a system can be solved and optimized for a particular qu...
We apply multiple query optimization to batches of pull (on-demand) requests in a mobile database system. The resulting view can answer several queries at once, and it is broadcas...
Over the last decades, improvements in CPU speed have outpaced improvements in main memory and disk access rates by orders of magnitude, enabling the use of data compression techn...
Mediator systems integrate distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous data sources, but their e ective use requires the solution of hard query optimization problems. This is usuall...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between score and uncertainty makes traditio...
