An important issue arising from XML query relaxation is how to efficiently search the top-k best answers from a large number of XML data sources, while minimizing the searching cos...
Today, there are several approaches supporting an integrated processing of XML and (object-)relational data sources. However, each of these approaches favors a single data model f...
In a number of application areas, distributed database systems can be used to provide persistent storage of data while providing efficient access for both local and remote data. W...
