Scalable query answering over Description Logic (DL) based ontologies plays an important role for the success of the Semantic Web. Towards tackling the scalability problem, we prop...
We investigate the problem of how to evaluate efficiently a collection of shortest path queries on massive graphs that are too big to fit in the main memory. To evaluate a shortes...
When issuing user-specific queries, users often have a vaguely defined information need. Skyline queries identify the most "interesting" objects for users' incomplet...
Inductive databases tightly integrate databases with data mining. The key ideas are that data and patterns (or models) are handled in the same way and that an inductive query lang...
Decision-support applications generate queries with complex predicates. We show how the factorization of complex query expressions exposes significant opportunities for exploiting...
