Data provenance is information that describes how a given data item was produced. The provenance includes source and intermediate data as well as the transformations involved in pr...
Database query optimizers rely on data statistics in selecting query execution plans. Similar query optimization techniques are desirable for deductive databases and, to make this...
Most modern DBMS optimizers rely upon a cost model to choose the best query execution plan (QEP) for any given query. Cost estimates are heavily dependent upon the optimizer’s e...

We have developed a MultiMedia Visual Information Seeking (MMVIS) Environment that is the first system to support an integrated approach to the direct manipulation specification o...
Good cardinality estimates are critical for generating good execution plans during query optimization. Complex predicates, correlations between columns, and user-defined functions...
