Abstract—After decades of effort working on database performance, the quality and the usability of database systems have received more attention in recent years. In particular, t...
Stream applications gained significant popularity over the last years that lead to the development of specialized stream engines. These systems are designed from scratch with a di...
In this paper, we propose the Hybrid-Layer Index (simply, the HL-index) that is designed to answer top-k queries efficiently when the queries are expressed on any arbitrary subset ...
— The data management community has recently begun to consider declarative network routing and distributed acquisition: e.g., sensor networks that execute queries about contiguou...

One useful feature that is missing from today’s database systems is an explain capability that enables users to seek clarifications on unexpected query results. There are two t...
In tuple space approaches to context-aware mobile systems, the notion of context is defined by the presence or absence of certain tuples in the tuple space. Existing approaches de...
Skyline queries are important due to their usefulness in many application domains. However, by increasing the number of attributes, the probability that a tuple dominates another ...

We present an adaptive load shedding approach for windowed stream joins. In contrast to the conventional approach of dropping tuples from the input streams, we explore the concept ...
Abstract—In the context of service composition and orchestration, service invocation is typically scheduled according to execution plans, whose topology establishes whether diffe...
This paper considers the composition of tuples from two relations in order to derive additional tuples of one of these relations. Our purpose is to determine when the composition i...
