Even though an effective cost-based query optimizer is of utmost importance for the efficient evaluation of XQuery expressions in native XML database systems, such a component is...
Most database query optimizers use cost models to identify good query execution plans. Inaccuracies in the cost models can cause query optimizers to select poor plans. In this pap...
The diversity and large volumes of data processed in the Natural Sciences today has led to a proliferation of highlyspecialized and autonomous scientific databases with inherent a...

In a variety of applications, ranging from data integration to distributed query evaluation, there is a need to obtain sets of data items from several sources (peers) and compute ...
In this paper we address the problem of minimizing the response time of a multi-way join query using pipelined (inter-operator) parallelism, in a parallel or a distributed environ...
