The problem of deciding query containment has important applications in classical query optimization and heterogeneous database systems. Query containment is undecidable for unres...
This paper examines the computation of the Voronoi diagram of a set of ellipses in the Euclidean plane. We propose the first complete algorithms, under the exact computation para...

Selectivity estimation of path expressions in querying XML data plays an important role in query optimization. A path expression may contain multiple branches with predicates, each...
