Group nearest neighbor (GNN) queries are a relatively new type of operations in spatial database applications. Different from a traditional kNN query which specifies a single quer...
We study and present our findings on two closely related problems on xpath rewriting using views when both the view and the query are tree patterns involving /,// and []. First, g...
Skyline queries have gained a lot of attention for multicriteria analysis in large-scale datasets. While existing skyline algorithms have focused mostly on exploiting data dominan...
Sequence-based XML indexing aims at avoiding expensive join operations in query processing. It transforms structured XML data into sequences so that a structured query can be answ...
This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
