Abstract. Bitmap indices are popular multi-dimensional data structures for accessing read-mostly data such as data warehouse (DW) applications, decision support systems (DSS) and o...
Let be a finite, ordered alphabet, and consider a string x = x1x2 . . . xn n . A secondary index for x answers alphabet range queries of the form: Given a range [al, ar] , retu...
To solve this problem, we devised the HS-bitmap index, which is hierarchically comprised of compressed data of summary bits. A summary bit in an upper matrix is obtained by logical...
The queries defined on data warehouses are complex and use several join operations that induce an expensive computational cost. This cost becomes even more prohibitive when querie...
There are several auxiliary pre-computed access structures that allow faster answers by reading less base data. Examples are materialized views, join indexes, B-tree and bitmap in...
