: Structural queries constitute a special form of content-basedretrieval where the user specifiesa set of spatial constraints among query variables and asks for all configurations ...
We present a new client cache consistency algorithm for client caching database management systems. The algorithm, called Asynchronous Avoidance-based Cache Consistency (AACC), pr...
We propose and evaluate two indexing schemes for improving the efficiency of data retrieval in high-dimensional databases that are incomplete. These schemes are novel in that the ...
Currently the key problems of query optimization are extensibility imposed by object-relational technology, as well as query complexity caused by forthcoming applications, such as...
Numerous applications such as stock market or medical information systems require that both historical and current data be logically integrated into a temporal database. The under...

We consider the problem of finding association rules that make nearly optimal binary segmentations of huge categorical databases. The optimality of segmentation is defined by an o...
Small Materialized Aggregates (SMAs for short) are considered a highly flexible and versatile alternative for materialized data cubes. The basic idea is to compute many aggregate ...
A broad spectrum of data is available on the Web in distinct heterogeneous sources, and stored under different formats. As the number of systems that utilize this heterogeneous da...
Text data in the Internet can be partitioned into many databases naturally. Efficient retrieval of desired data can be achieved if we can accurately predict the usefulness of each...
