We propose strategies to efficiently execute a query workload, which consists of multiple related queries submitted against a scientific dataset, on a distributed-memory system in...
Order is essential for XML query processing. Efficient XML processing with order consideration over relational storage is non-trivial, especially for complex nested XQuery expressi...
The execution time of a large query depends mainly on the memory utilization which should avoid disk accesses for intermediate results. Poor memory management can hurt performance ...
Optimizing queries that involve operations on spatial data requires estimating the selectivity and cost of these operations. In this paper, we focus on estimating the cost of spat...
