Towards a theory of schema-mapping optimization
A schema mapping is a high-level specification that describes the relationship between two database schemas. As schema mappings constitute the essential building blocks of data ex...

Effective characterizations of tree logics
A survey of effective characterizations of tree logics. If L is a logic, then an effective characterization for L is an algorithm, which inputs a tree automaton and replies if the...

Time-decaying aggregates in out-of-order streams
Processing large data streams is now a major topic in data management. The data involved can be truly massive, and the required analyses complex. In a stream of sequential events ...

On the complexity of deriving schema mappings from database instances
We introduce a theoretical framework for discovering relationships between two database instances over distinct and unknown schemata. This framework is grounded in the context of ...

XPath, transitive closure logic, and nested tree walking automata
We consider the navigational core of XPath, extended with two operators: the Kleene star for taking the transitive closure of path expressions, and a subtree relativisation operat...
