XQuery is widely used for querying XML documents. Within this paper, we examine optimization rules for XQuery queries that exploit type information of the input XML document given ...
Continuous queries are used to monitor changes to time varying data and to provide results useful for online decision making. Typically a user desires to obtain the value of some ...
The wide spread use of cellular phones, handheld devices, and GPS-like technology enables location-aware environments where virtually all objects are aware of their locations. Loca...
The problem of deciding query containment has important applications in classical query optimization and heterogeneous database systems. Query containment is undecidable for unres...
We develop a query algebra that supports efficient assertion retrieval--a natural extension of instance retrieval. The algebra is based on previously developed techniques for index...
