We study the problem of answering queries through a target schema, given a set of mappings between one or more source schemas and this target schema, and given that the data is at...
While work in recent years has demonstrated that wavelets can be efficiently used to compress large quantities of data and provide fast and fairly accurate answers to queries, lit...
Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
Recently, Haas and Hellerstein proposed the hash ripple join algorithm in the context of online aggregation. Although the algorithm rapidly gives a good estimate for many join-agg...
