A crucial consideration in environments where data is broadcast to clients is the low bandwidth available for clients to communicate with servers. Advanced applications in such en...
We address the problem of query rewriting for TSL, a language for querying semistructured data. We develop and present an algorithm that, given a semistructured query q and a set ...
Traditional approaches for content-based image querying typically compute a single signature for each image based on color histograms, texture, wavelet transforms etc., and return...
We explore the execution of queries with client-site userdefined functions (UDFs). Many UDFs can only be executed at the client site, for reasons of scalability, security, confide...
Several techniques that compute the join between two spatial datasets have been proposed during the last decade. Among these methods, some consider existing indices for the joined...
Recovery can be extended to new domains at reduced logging cost by exploiting "logical" log operations. During recovery, a logical log operation may read data values fro...
The database query optimizer requires the estimation of the query selectivity to find the most efficient access plan. For queries referencing multiple attributes from the same rel...
Pre-computation and materialization of views with aggregate functions is a common technique in Data Warehouses. Due to the complex structure of the warehouse and the different pro...
