In Deep Web data integration, some Web database interfaces express exclusive predicates of the form Qe = Pi(Pi ∈ P1, P2, . . . , Pm), which permits only one predicate to be selec...
Accurate cardinality estimation is critically important to high-quality query optimization. It is well known that conventional cardinality estimation based on histograms or simila...
Nearest-neighbor queries are an important query type for commonly used feature databases. In many different application areas, e.g. sensor databases, location based services or fac...
Most modern DBMS optimizers rely upon a cost model to choose the best query execution plan (QEP) for any given query. Cost estimates are heavily dependent upon the optimizer’s e...
