We study the problem of context-sensitive ranking for document retrieval, where a context is defined as a sub-collection of documents, and is specified by queries provided by do...
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) based on a dimensional view of data is being used increasingly for the purpose of analyzing very large amounts of data. To improve query perfo...

We consider the problem of creating a sample view of a database table. A sample view is an indexed, materialized view that permits efficient sampling from an arbitrary range query...
In the context of multidimensional databases implemented on relational DBMSs through star schemes, the most effective technique to enhance performances consists of materializing re...
