Given a planar polygonal subdivision S, the point location problem is to preprocess S into a data structure so that the cell of the subdivision that contains a given query point c...
Abstract. Query reformulation techniques based on semantic knowledge have been used in two ways in database management systems, namely for query optimization and for data integrati...
Skyline query processing has received considerable attention in the recent past. Mainly, the skyline query is used to find a set of non dominated data points in a multidimensional...
Data integration is a significant challenge: relevant data objects are split across multiple information sources, and often owned by different organizations. The sources represent...
This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
