Full disjunctions are an associative extension of the outerjoin operator to an arbitrary number of relations. Their main advantage is the ability to maximally combine data from di...
Remotely sensed data, in particular satellite imagery, play many important roles in environmental applications and models. In particular applications that study (rapid) changes in...
Incompleteness due to missing attribute values (aka "null values") is very common in autonomous web databases, on which user accesses are usually supported through media...
Abstract-- We present COLR-Tree, an abstraction layer designed to support efficient spatio-temporal queries on live data gathered from a large collection of sensors. We use COLR-Tr...
Query optimizers use base-table statistics to derive statistics on the sub-plans that are enumerated during optimization. In practice, traditional optimizers rely on a number of s...
