All existing proposals for querying XML (e.g., XQuery) rely on a pattern-specification language that allows (1) path navigation and branching through the label structure of the XM...
For complex queries in parallel database systems, substantial amounts of data must be redistributed between operators executed on different processing nodes. Frequently, such inter...
Many scientific, financial, data mining and sensor network applications need to work with continuous, rather than discrete data e.g., temperature as a function of location, or sto...
The performance of data-parallel algorithms for spatial operations using data-parallel variants of the bucket PMR quadtree, R-tree, and R+-tree spatial data structures is compared...
Modern geographic databases can contain a large volume of data that need to be distributed to subscribed customers. The data can be modeled as a cube, where typical dimensions inc...
