Abstract: In order to achieve efficient execution plans for queries comprising userdefined data types and predicates, the database system has to be provided with appropriate index ...
In a binary symmetric relationship, A is related to B if and only if B is related to A. Symmetric relationships between k participating entities can be represented as multisets of...
Research in temporal databases has mainly focused on defining temporal data models by extending existing models, and developing access structures for temporal data. Little has bee...
With the total energy consumption of computing systems increasing in a steep rate, much attention has been paid to the design of energy-efficient computing systems and applications...
Queries to data warehouses often involve hundreds of complex aggregations over large volumes of data, and so it is infeasible to compute these queries by scanning the data sources ...
