— XQuery, the defacto XML query language, is a functional language with operational semantics, which precludes the direct application of classical query optimization techniques. ...
Data integration is a significant challenge: relevant data objects are split across multiple information sources, and often owned by different organizations. The sources represent...
This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
Traditional query processors generate full, accurate query results, either in batch or in pipelined fashion. We argue that this strict model is too rigid for exploratory queries o...
We study the fundamental limitations of relational algebra (RA) and SQL in supporting sequence and stream queries, and present effective query language and data model enrichments ...
