We study the problem of finding efficient equivalent viewbased rewritings of relational queries, focusing on query optimization using materialized views under the assumption that ...
Rewriting queries using views is a powerful technique that has applications in data integration, data warehousing and query optimization. Query rewriting in relational databases i...
In this paper, we present the use of semantic caching in the environment of schema-based super-peer networks. Different from traditional caching, semantic caching allows the answe...
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...
We investigate the question of whether a query can be answered using a set V of views. We first define the problem in information-theoretic terms: we say that V determines if V pr...
