In data applications such as information integration, there can be limited access patterns to relations, i.e., binding patterns require values to be specified for certain attribut...
The problems of query containment, equivalence, and minimization are recognized as very important in the context of query processing, specifically of query optimization. In their...
Inductive queries are queries to an inductive database that generate a set of patterns in a data mining context. Inductive querying poses new challenges to database and data mining...
Query containment is a fundamental problem of databases. Given two queries q1 and q2, it asks whether the set of answers to q1 is included in the set of answers to q2 for any datab...
We define a framework for static optimization of sliding window conjunctive queries over infinite streams. When computational resources are sufficient, we propose that the goal of...
