Background: High-throughput molecular biology provides new data at an incredible rate, so that the increase in the size of biological databanks is enormous and very rapid. This sc...
Recently, skyline queries have attracted much attention in the database research community. Space partitioning techniques, such as recursive division of the data space, have been ...
Scientific data in the life sciences is distributed over various independent multi-format databases and is constantly expanding. We discuss a scenario where a life science research...
We examine the power of incremental evaluation systems that use an SQL-like language for maintaining recursively-de ned views. We show that recursive queries such as transitive clo...
It is clearly crucial for the success of object-oriented databases to find effiĆ cient implementations that improve on the performance of relational sysĆ tems, rather than being...
