With the advent of XML as the de facto language for data publishing and exchange, scalable distribution of XML data to large, dynamic populations of consumers remains an important...
This paper investigates the view update problem for XML views published from relational data. We consider (possibly) recursively defined XML views, compressed into DAGs and stored...
We study the problem of answering queries posed on virtual views of XML documents, a problem commonly encountered when enforcing XML access control and integrating data. We approa...
It has long been recognized that multi-stream operators, such as union and join, often have to wait idly in a temporarily blocked state, as a result of skews between the timestamp...

Google and other products have revolutionized the way we search for information on the Internet, Intranet, and on our desktop. However, the current generation of search products d...
Persistence is a common requirement in many applications. In existing systems, persistence is added to an application at either compile or deployment time by using a variety of me...
Estimating the selectivity of queries is a crucial problem in database systems. Virtually all database systems rely on the use of selectivity estimates to choose amongst the many ...
Wireless sensor networks have enormous potential to aid data collection in a number of areas, such as environmental and wildlife research. In this paper, we address the challenges...
Authorization in SQL is currently at the level of tables or columns. Many applications need a finer level of control. We propose a model for fine-grained authorization based on ad...
To address the needs of data intensive XML applications, a number of efficient tree pattern algorithms have been proposed. Still, most XQuery compilers do not support those algori...
