Improving Query Answering over DL-Lite Ontologies
The DL-Lite family of Description Logics has been designed with the specific goal of allowing for answering complex queries (in particular, conjunctive queries) over ontologies w...

On the Equivalence of Recursive and Nonrecursive Datalog Programs
: We study the problem of determining whether a given recursive Datalog program is equivalent to a given nonrecursive Datalog program. Since nonrecursive Datalog programs are equiv...

Query Containment for Data Integration Systems
The problem of query containment is fundamental to many aspects of database systems, including query optimization, determining independence of queries from updates, and rewriting ...

On Answering Queries in the Presence of Limited Access Patterns
In information-integration systems, source relations often have limitations on access patterns to their data; i.e., when one must provide values for certain attributes of a relatio...

A Decomposition-Based Approach to Optimizing Conjunctive Query Answering in OWL DL
Scalable query answering over Description Logic (DL) based ontologies plays an important role for the success of the Semantic Web. Towards tackling the scalability problem, we prop...

An Algebraic Approach to the Complexity of Generalized Conjunctive Queries
Kolaitis and Vardi pointed out that constraint satisfaction and conjunctive query containment are essentially the same problem. We study the Boolean conjunctive queries under a mor...

Conjunction Dysfunction: The Weakness of Conjunctive Queries in Peer-to-Peer File-sharing Systems
Peers in peer-to-peer file-sharing systems use conjunctive queries as a way of controlling query cost in the absence of information about the behavior of other peers. Conjunctive ...

Some Algorithmic Improvements for the Containment Problem of Conjunctive Queries with Negation
Query containment is a fundamental problem of databases. Given two queries q1 and q2, it asks whether the set of answers to q1 is included in the set of answers to q2 for any datab...
