: Structural queries constitute a special form of content-basedretrieval where the user specifiesa set of spatial constraints among query variables and asks for all configurations ...
We present a technique that masks failures in a cluster to provide high availability and fault-tolerance for long-running, parallelized dataflows. We can use these dataflows to im...

imizer Communication using Abstract Plans in Sybase ASE Query optimizers are error prone, due to both their nature and the increased search space that modern query processing requ...
Good cardinality estimates are critical for generating good execution plans during query optimization. Complex predicates, correlations between columns, and user-defined functions...
We study efficient query processing in distributed web search engines with global index organization. The main performance bottleneck in this case is due to the large amount of i...
