We introduce a cost model for the M-tree access method [Ciaccia et al., 1997] which provides estimates of CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for the execution of similarity ...
The join operation, which combines tuples from multiple relations, is the most fundamental and, typically, the most expensive operation in database queries. The standard approach t...

We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering and query rewrite (JOQR) followed by parallelization. We focus on t...
: This work investigates the integration of heterogeneous resources, such as data and programs, in a fully distributed peer-to-peer mediation architecture. The challenge in making ...
