We propose a scalable distributed data structure (SDDS) called SD-Rtree. We intend our structure for point and window queries over possibly large spatial datasets distributed on c...
Linear optimization queries retrieve the top-K tuples in a sliding window of a data stream that maximize/minimize the linearly weighted sums of certain attribute values. To effici...
We consider the problem of repairing a database that is inconsistent wrt a set of integrity constraints by updating numerical values. In particular, we concentrate on denial integ...
Relational database management systems are constantly being extended and augmented to accommodate data in different domains. Recently, with the increasing use of ontology in vario...
Location-based spatial queries (LBSQs) refer to spatial queries whose answers rely on the location of the inquirer. Efficient processing of LBSQs is of critical importance with th...
Algorithms that exploit sort orders are widely used to implement joins, grouping, duplicate elimination and other set operations. Query optimizers traditionally deal with sort ord...
