Answering queries using views is a well-established technique in databases. In this context, two outstanding problems can be formulated. The first one consists in deciding whethe...
In this paper we study the following problem. Given a database and a set of queries, we want to find a set of views that can compute the answers to the queries, such that the amoun...
A key advantage of scientific workflow systems over traditional scripting approaches is their ability to automatically record data and process dependencies introduced during workf...
Abstract: Peer data management systems (PDMS) are a highly dynamic, decentralized infrastructure for large-scale data integration. They consist of a dynamic set of autonomous peers...
Abstract In recent years, researchers have begun to study inductive databases, a new generation of databases for leveraging decision support applications. In this context, the user...
