While providing a uniform syntax and a semistructured data model, XML does not express semantics but only structure such as nesting information. In this paper, we consider the prob...
Data stream management systems need to control their resources adaptively since stream characteristics and query workload may vary over time. In this paper we investigate an approa...
This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
Van Emden's incremental queries address the inadequacy of current Prolog-style querying mechanism in most logic programming systems for interactive problem-solving. In the co...
Estimates of predicate selectivities by database query optimizers often differ significantly from those actually encountered during query execution, leading to poor plan choices a...
