Life science laboratories today have to rely on procedural techniques to store and manage large sequence datasets. Procedural techniques are cumbersome to use and are often very i...
The semantic web represents meta-data as a relation of triples using the RDF data model. We have developed a virtual repository system that enables to process queries to RDF views...
We explore join optimizations in the presence of both timebased constraints (sliding windows) and value-based constraints (punctuations). We present the first join solution named...

A progressive spatial query retrieves spatial data based on previous queries (e.g., to fetch data in a more restricted area with higher resolution). A direct query, on the other si...
