View materialization is a central issue in logical design of data warehouses since it is one of the most powerful techniques to improve the response to the workload. Most approach...
We obtain the strongest separation between quantum and classical query complexity known to date--specifically, we define a black-box problem that requires exponentially many querie...
The XPath language incorporates powerful primitives for formulating queries containing nested subexpressions which are existentially or universally quantified. However, even the b...
In [3], we introduced a framework for querying and updating probabilistic information over unordered labeled trees, the probabilistic tree model. The data model is based on trees ...
We study relations on trees defined by first-order constraints over a vocabulary that includes the tree extension relation Ì Ì ¼, holding if and only if every branch of Ì ex...
