We introduce a new method for optimization of SQL queries with nested subqueries. The method is based on the idea of Boolean aggregates, aggregates that compute the conjunction or ...
Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
In data integration systems, queries posed to a mediator need to be translated into a sequence of queries to the underlying data sources. In a heterogeneous environment, with sour...
