Feature aggregation is a critical technique in content-based image retrieval systems that employ multiple visual features to characterize image content. One problem in feature aggr...
Strict consistency of replicated data is infeasible or not required by many distributed applications, so current systems often permit stale replication, in which cached copies of ...
We study the problem of finding efficient equivalent viewbased rewritings of relational queries, focusing on query optimization using materialized views under the assumption that ...
The problem of deciding query containment has important applications in classical query optimization and heterogeneous database systems. Query containment is undecidable for unres...
A multidimensional database can be seen as a collection of multidimensional cubes, from which information is usually extracted by aggregation; aggregated data can be calculated ei...
