In data exchange, data are materialised from a source schema to a target schema, according to suitable source-to-target constraints. Constraints are also expressed on the target sc...
Conventional operators for data retrieval are either based on exact matching or on total order relationship among elements. Neither of them is appropriate to manage complex data, s...
Abstract. Rewriting of conjunctive queries using views has many applications in database and data integration. We investigate ways to improve performance of rewriting and propose a...
