In existing systems, user transactions get blocked during materialized view creation and non-trivial database schema transformations. Blocking user transactions is not an option in...
In order to search similar moving object trajectories, the previously used methods focused on Euclidean distance and considered only spatial similarity. Euclidean distance is not a...
While the cost per megabyte of magnetic disk storage is economical, organizations are alarmed by the increasing cost of managing storage. Storage Area Network (SAN) architectures ...

XML is suitable for structuring complex data coming from different sources and supported by heterogeneous formats. It allows a flexible formalism capable to represent and store d...
Database caching supports declarative query processing close to the application. Using a full-fledged DBMS as cache manager, it enables the evaluation of specific project-select-...
materialized view selection is a non-trivial task. Hence, its complexity must be reduced. A judicious choice of views must be costdriven and influenced by the workload experienced...
Computational database technology spans the two research fields data-base technology and scientific computing. It involves development of database capabilities that support compu...
