Computing aggregates over distributed data sets constitutes an interesting class of distributed queries. Recent advances in peer-to-peer discovery of data sources and query process...
The widespread use of XML brings new challenges for its integration into general software development processes. In particular, it is necessary to keep the consistency between diļ¬...
Software package selection is an activity that plays an increasingly crucial role in the delivery of software systems. One of its main open issues is how to structure the knowledge...
Finding intensional encapsulations of database subsets is the inverse of query evaluation. Whereas query evaluation transforms an intensional expression (the query) to its extensi...
Abstract. The development of scalable parallel database systems requires the design of eļ¬cient algorithms for the join operation which is the most frequent and expensive operatio...
Abstract. Non-trivial retrieval applications involve complex computations on large multi-dimensional datasets. These should, in principle, beneļ¬t from the use of relational datab...
