We present a new technique for using samples to estimate join cardinalities. This technique, which we term "end-biased samples," is inspired by recent work in network tr...
This paper presents a query optimizer module based on cost estimation that chooses the best filtering step algorithm to perform a specific spatial join operation. A set of express...
Abstract. In emerging data stream applications, data sources are typically distributed. Evaluating multi-join queries over streams from different sources may incur large communica...
We propose the Multiple Join Path (MJP) framework for obtaining high quality information by linking fields across multiple databases, when the underlying databases have poor qual...
Abstract. We aim to provide information hiding support in concurrent object-oriented programming languages. We study the issue both at the object level and class level, in the cont...
