In this paper we consider the problem of efficiently producing results for full-text keyword search queries over XML documents. We describe full-text search query semantics and pr...
We consider IES(SQL), the incremental evaluation system over an SQL-like language with grouping, arithmetics, and aggregation. We show that every second order query is in IES(SQL) ...
We study the efficient evaluation of top-k queries over data items, where the score of each item is dynamically computed by applying an item-specific function whose parameter valu...

We study extensions of first-order logic over the reals with different types of transitive-closure operators as query languages for constraint databases that can be described by...
Non-uniform query languages make searching over heterogeneous information sources difficult. Our approach is to allow a user to compose Boolean queries in one rich front-end lang...
