Abstract. In this paper we study the external memory planar point enclosure problem: Given N axis-parallel rectangles in the plane, construct a data structure on disk (an index) su...
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...
A model capturing the data manipulation capabilities of a large class of methods in ohjectoriented databases is proposed and investsigated. The model uses a deterministic, paralle...
