We make two main contributions in this paper. First, we motivate and introduce a novel class of data mining problems that arise in labeling a group of mass spectra, specifically f...
Estimates of predicate selectivities by database query optimizers often differ significantly from those actually encountered during query execution, leading to poor plan choices a...
The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
A “plan diagram” is a pictorial enumeration of the execution plan choices of a database query optimizer over the relational selectivity space. In this paper, we present and an...
We propose a novel Partition Path-Based (PPB) grouping strategy to store compressed XML data in a stream of blocks. In addition, we employ a minimal indexing scheme called Block S...
