A class of extended aggregation operators, called impact functions, is proposed and their basic properties are examined. Some important classes of functions like generalized ordere...
The use of mobile applications is increasing rapidly. Particularly, mobile applications for decision support systems, such as mobile datawarehouses, are very attractive. However, ...
We investigate the problem of how to extend constraint query languages with aggregate operators. We deal with standard relational aggregation, and also with aggregates speci c to ...
All major semantics of normal logic programs and normal logic programs with aggregates can be described as fixpoints of the one-step provability operator or of operators that can...
In this paper we present a technique to optimize queries on deductive databases that use aggregate operations such as min, max, and “largest Ic values.” Our approach is based ...
