—Past research on temporal databases has primarily focused on state-based representations and on relational query language extensions for such representations. This led to many d...
This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
In the context of multidimensional databases implemented on relational DBMSs through star schemes, the most effective technique to enhance performances consists of materializing re...
