The traditional focus of relational query optimization schemes has been on the choice of join methods and join orders. Restrictions have typically been handled in query optimizers ...
Scientific workflow systems are increasingly used to automate complex data analyses, largely due to their benefits over traditional approaches for workflow design, optimization, a...
We introduce a representation system for relational data based on algebraic factorisation using distributivity of product over union and commutativity of product and union. We giv...
We present an optimization method and algorithm designed for three objectives: physical data independence, semantic optimization, and generalized tableau minimization. The method ...
Query containment is a fundamental algorithmic problem in database query processing and optimization. Under set semantics, the query-containment problem for conjunctive queries ha...
