: This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the TopX search engine, an extensive framework for unified indexing and querying large collections of unstructured, semistructured...
We consider the containment problem for conjunctive queries with atomic negation. Firstly, we refine an existing algorithm based on homomorphism checks, which itself improves other...
We develop the scheme of indefinite constraint databases using first-order logic as our representation language. When this scheme is instantiated with temporal constraints, the res...
A set of presentations that cover the book, which includes several topics such as relational database systems such as Relational Databases, Database Design, Object-Based Databases ...
We propose a new distributed, fault-tolerant peer-to-peer index structure called the P-tree. P-trees efficiently evaluate range queries in addition to equality queries.
