An algorithm is presented to answer window queries in a quadtree-based spatial database environment by retrieving the covering blocks in the underlying spatial database. It works ...
Twig pattern matching (TPM) is the core operation of XML query processing. Existing approaches rely on either efficient data structures or novel labeling/indexing schemes to reduce...
XML database systems are expected to handle increasingly complex queries over increasingly large and highly structured XML databases. An important problem that needs to be solved ...
