Traditional multiple query optimization methods focus on identifying common subexpressions in sets of relational queries and on constructing their global execution plans. In this p...
An important reasoning task, in addition to the standard DL reasoning services, is conjunctive query answering. In this paper, we present a decision procedure for conjunctive query...
: We present a grammar-based approach to specifying k-ary queries for XML documents. k-ary queries simultaneously locate k nodes of an input tree as specified by a given relation. ...
We analyse query length, and fit power-law and Poisson distributions to four different query sets. We provide a practical model for query length, based on the truncation of a Pois...
Privacy-preserving query-answering systems answer queries while provably guaranteeing that sensitive information is kept secret. One very attractive notion of privacy is perfect p...
