— Accurate query performance prediction (QPP) is central to effective resource management, query optimization and query scheduling. Analytical cost models, used in current genera...
The paper addresses a problem of combining XML querying with ontology reasoning. We present an extension of a rule-based XML query and transformation language Xcerpt. The extensio...
A lack of power and extensibility in their query languages has seriously limited the generality of DBMSs and hampered their ability to support data mining applications. Thus, ther...
Abstract. We study the provable security of identity-based (ID-based) key agreement protocols. Although several published protocols have been proven secure in the random oracle mod...
By providing an integrated and optimized support for user-defined aggregates (UDAs), data stream management systems (DSMS) can achieve superior power and generality while preservi...
