Abstract-- We investigate techniques to automatically decompose any XQuery query into subqueries, that can be executed near their data sources; i.e., function-shipping. In this sce...
— Although efficient processing of probabilistic databases is a well-established field, a wide range of applications are still unable to benefit from these techniques due to t...
We propose a new functional framework for modeling, querying and reasoning about OLAP databases. The framework represents data (data cubes and dimensional hierarchies) and queryin...
Similarity search has been proved suitable for searching in very large collections of unstructured data objects. We are interested in efficient parallel query processing under si...
In this paper we propose a data model for representing moving objects in database systems. It is called the Moving Objects Spatio-Temporal (MOST) data model. We also propose Futur...
