In this paper we describe novel techniques that make it possible to build an industrial-strength tool for automating the choice of indexes in the physical design of a SQL database...
Mashups integrate a set of Web-services and data sources, often referred to as mashlets. We study in this paper a common scenario where these mashlets are components of larger Web...
We describe set-oriented algorithms for mining association rules. Such algorithms imply performing multiple joins and may appear to be inherently less escient than special-purpose...
This paper proposes a novel view of the information generated by relevance feedback. Latent semantic analysis is adapted to this view to extract useful inter-query information. Th...
