This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
Keyword search in relational databases (RDBs) has been extensively studied recently. A keyword search (or a keyword query) in RDBs is specified by a set of keywords to explore the...
Existing methods for prediction in spatio-temporal databases assume that objects move according to linear functions. This severely limits their applicability, since in practice mo...
Due to its considerable ease of use, relational keyword search (R-KWS) has become increasingly popular. Its simplicity, however, comes at the cost of intensive query processing. Sp...
Intervals represent a fundamental data type for temporal, scientific, and spatial databases where time stamps and point data are extended to time spans and range data, respectively...
