We simulate different architectures of a distributed Information Retrieval system on a very large Web collection, in order to work out the optimal setting for a particular set of r...
Applying meta search systems is a suitable method to support the user if there are many different services. Due to information splitting strategies of literature services existing ...
Queries navigate semistructured data via path expressions, and can be accelerated using an index. Our solution encodes paths as strings, and inserts those strings into a special i...

In this work, we present a semantic query optimization technique to improve the efficiency of the evaluation of a subset of SQL:1999 recursive queries. Using datalog notation, we c...
The consequences of a logic program depend in general upon both the rules of the program and its language. However the consequences of some programs are independent of the choice ...
