Object-Relational and Object-Oriented DBMSs allow users to invoke time-consuming ("expensive") methods in their queries. When queries containing these expensive methods a...
We perform linear programming optimizations on the intersection of k polyhedra in R3 , represented by their outer recursive decompositions, in expected time O(k log k log n + √ ...
In information-integration systems, sources may have diverse and limited query capabilities. In this paper we show that because sources have restrictions on retrieving their infor...
Access limitations may occur when querying data sources over the web or heterogeneous data sources presented as relational tables: this happens, for instance, in Data Exchange and ...
We study the problem of querying data sources that accept only a limited set of queries, such as sources accessible by Web services which can implement very large (potentially inf...
