Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
We introduce the Multi-Structural Database, a new data framework to support efficient analysis of large, complex data sets. An instance of the model consists of a set of data obje...

Query processing techniques for XML data have focused mainly on tree-pattern queries (TPQs). However, the need for querying XML data sources whose structure is very complex or not...
We propose a unified framework for deriving and studying soft-in soft-out (SISO) detection in multiple-access channels using the concept of variational inference. The proposed fram...
Developing cost models for query optimization is significantly harder for XML queries than for traditional relational queries. The reason is that XML query operators are much mor...
