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 ...
In the geometric data model [6], spatio-temporal data are modelled as a finite collection of triangles that are transformed by time-dependent affinities. To facilitate querying an...
The problem of data integration (query decomposition, data fragmentation) has been widely studied in literature, but the inherent hierarchical nature of XML data presents problems...
XML is the data interoperability standard in many application domains. Therefore, an increasing number of researchers and professionals, who are not computer scientists (although ...
Abstract. We present a cost-based adaptive clustering method to improve average performance of spatial queries (intersection, containment, enclosure queries) over large collections...
