For object-oriented databases we propose a new technique for optimizing queries containing method invocations. This technique is based on the definition of inverse methods and que...
During the last decade various spatial data structures have been designed and compared against each other with respect to their performance. Still missing is a lower bound result,...
An optimization query asks for one or more data objects that maximize or minimize some function over the data set. We propose a general class of queries, model-based optimization ...
This work addresses a problem of optimal query processing in heterogeneous and distributed multidatabase systems. The objective is to nd a method for opimization of global query p...
