With the growing importance of semi-structure data in information exchange, much research has been done to provide an effective mechanism to match a twig query in an XML database....
Large search engines process thousands of queries per second over billions of documents, making query processing a major performance bottleneck. An important class of optimization...
Cardinality estimation during query optimization relies on simplifying assumptions that usually do not hold in practice. To diminish the impact of inaccurate estimates during opti...
Declustering techniques reduce query response time through parallel I/O by distributing data among multiple devices. Except for a few cases it is not possible to find declusterin...
