Metric access methods (MAMs), such as the M-tree, are powerful index structures for supporting ty queries on metric spaces, which represent a common abstraction for those searchin...
XML data warehouses form an interesting basis for decision-support applications that exploit complex data. However, native-XML database management systems (DBMSs) currently bear l...
In this concise paper, we present the Nested Relational Sequence Model (NRSM), which is an extension of the Nested Relational Data Model in order to handle XML data. We also intro...
Database columns are often correlated, so that cardinality estimates computed by assuming independence often lead to a poor choice of query plan by the optimizer. Multidimensional...

Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
