Many new applications that involve decision making need online (i.e., OLAP-styled) preference analysis with multidimensional boolean selections. Typical preference queries includes...
We identify and formalize a novel join operator for two spatial pointsets P and Q. The common influence join (CIJ) returns the pairs of points (p, q), p P, q Q, such that there e...
Aggregate measures summarizing subsets of data are valuable in exploratory analysis and decision support, especially when dependent aggregations can be easily specified and compute...

Algorithms that exploit sort orders are widely used to implement joins, grouping, duplicate elimination and other set operations. Query optimizers traditionally deal with sort ord...
We present MiniCount, the first efficient sound and complete algorithm for finding maximally contained rewritings of conjunctive queries with count, using conjunctive views with c...
