In this paper, we describe a new indexing technique, the time indez, for improving the performance of certain classes of temporal queries. The time index can be used to retrieve v...
Semantic query optimization can dramatically speed up database query answering by knowledge intensive reformulation. But the problem of how to learn required semantic rules has no...
This paper presents an innovative partitionbased time join strategy for temporal databases where time is represented by time intervals. The proposed method maps time intervals to ...
The exponential growth of the web and the extended use of database management systems in widely distributed information systems has brought to the fore the need for seamless interc...
We present an access method for set-valued attributes that is based on a multi-level extendible hashing scheme. This scheme avoids exponential directory growth for skewed data and...
