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...
Query scheduling plays an important role when systems are faced with limited resources and high workloads. It becomes even more relevant for servers applying multiple query optimi...
Good cardinality estimates are critical for generating good execution plans during query optimization. Complex predicates, correlations between columns, and user-defined functions...
Database query optimizers rely on data statistics in selecting query execution plans. Similar query optimization techniques are desirable for deductive databases and, to make this...
