Digital libraries are more and more available on the web. However, retrieving information in these libraries is not easy because of sources heterogeneity and distribution. Thus, w...
Abstract. A standard way of implementing Huffman's optimal code construction algorithm is by using a sorted sequence of frequencies. Several aspects of the algorithm are inves...
Optimizing nested queries is an intricate problem. It becomes even harder if in a nested query the linking predicate or the correlation predicate occurs disjunctively. We present ...
We present an optimization method and algorithm designed for three objectives: physical data independence, semantic optimization, and generalized tableau minimization. The method ...
Abstract. In emerging data stream applications, data sources are typically distributed. Evaluating multi-join queries over streams from different sources may incur large communica...
