Semantic query optimization (SQO) has been proved to be quite useful in various applications (e.g., data integration, graphical query generators, caching, etc.) and has been extens...
Nonrecursive XQuery is known to be hard for nondeterministic exponential time. Thus it is commonly believed that any algorithm for evaluating XQuery has to require exponential amo...
We present a system for efficient indexed querying of XML documents, enhanced with sibling operations. R-tree index proposed in [5] has a very high cost for the following-sibling...
Efficient query processing in P2P-based Web integration systems poses a variety of challenges resulting from the strict decentralization and limited knowledge. As a special probl...
Current peer-to-peer (p2p) full-text keyword search techniques fall into the following categories: document-based partitioning, keyword-based partitioning, hybrid indexing, and se...
