Grid-Aware Evaluation of Regular Path Queries on Spatial Networks
Regular path queries (RPQs), expressed as regular expressions over the alphabet of database edge-labels, are commonly used for guided navigation of graph databases. While convenie...

Visiting a Polygon on the Optimal Way to a Query Point
Abstract. We study a constrained version of the shortest path problem in polygonal domains, in which the path must visit a given target polygon. We provide an efficient algorithm f...

Query containment and rewriting using views for regular path queries under constraints
In this paper we consider general path constraints for semistructured databases. Our general constraints do not suffer from the limitations of the path constraints previously stud...

Query Translation from XPath to SQL in the Presence of Recursive DTDs
The interaction between recursion in XPATH and recursion in DTDs makes it challenging to answer XPATH queries on XML data that is stored in an RDBMS via schema-based shredding. We...

Ranking Approximate Answers to Semantic Web Queries
We consider the problem of a user querying semistructured data such as RDF without knowing its structure. In these circumstances, it is helpful if the querying system can perform a...
