An effective query optimizer finds a query plan that exploits the characteristics of the source data. In data integration, little is known in advance about sources' propertie...
Implicit query systems examine a document and automatically conduct searches for the most relevant information. In this paper, we offer three contributions to implicit query resea...
An energy optimization is proposed that addresses the nontrivial digital contribution to power and impact on performance in high-speed mixed-signal circuits. Parallel energy and b...
Incomplete information arises naturally in numerous data management applications. Recently, several researchers have studied query processing in the context of incomplete informat...
An important means of allowing non-expert end-users to pose ad hoc queries — whether over single databases or data integration systems — is through keyword search. Given a set...
