Queries involving aggregation are typical in a number of database research areas, such as data warehousing, global information systems and mobile computing. One of the main ideas ...
We study the problem of generating e cient, equivalent rewritings using views to compute the answer to a query. We take the closed-world assumption, in which views are materialize...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of answering top-k queries via materialized views. We provide theoretical guarantees for the adequacy of a view to answer a top-k query, ...
We consider the problem of improving the efficiency of query processing on an XML interface of a relational database, for predefined query workloads. The main contribution of this ...
The question whether a given set of views, defined by queries, can be used to answer another query, arises in several contexts such as query optimization, data integration and se...
