Conventional operators for data retrieval are either based on exact matching or on total order relationship among elements. Neither of them is appropriate to manage complex data, s...
In this paper we study the problem of deciding whether a regular path query over views in data-integration systems can be re-expressed without recursion. The problem becomes chall...
Main memory is a critical resource when processing non-blocking queries with state intensive operators that require real-time responses. While partitioned parallel processing can ...
While the task of answering queries from an arbitrary propositional theory is intractable in general, it can typicallybe performed e ciently if the theory is Horn. This suggests t...
Query segmentation is essential to query processing. It aims to tokenize query words into several semantic segments and help the search engine to improve the precision of retrieva...
