Execution plans produced by traditional query optimizers for data integration queries may yield poor performance for several reasons. The cost estimates may be inaccurate, the mem...
Abstract. Non-contiguous subsequence pattern queries search for symbol instances in a long sequence that satisfy some soft temporal constraints. In this paper, we propose a methodo...
Structural join operations are central to evaluating queries against XML data, and are typically responsible for consuming a lion's share of the query processing time. Thus, ...
Counting in general, and estimating the cardinality of (multi-) sets in particular, is highly desirable for a large variety of applications, representing a foundational block for ...

Information integration systems provide a uniform query interface to a set of sources. One of the key challenges for an information integration system is to provide maximally comp...
