We present a framework for the estimation of the size of binary recursively defined relations. We show how the framework can be used to provide estimating algo rithms for the size...
Probabilistic top-k ranking queries have been extensively studied due to the fact that data obtained can be uncertain in many real applications. A probabilistic top-k ranking quer...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
Many parallel join algorithms have been proposed in the last several years. However, most of these algorithms require that the amount of data to be joined is known in advance in o...
Many Geographic Information System (GIS) applications must handle large geospatial datasets stored in raster representation. Spatial joins over raster data are important queries i...
