Data warehouses store materialized views over base data from external sources. Clients typically perform complex read-only queries on the views. The views are refreshed periodical...
We consider the problem of finding the best match for a given query shape among candidate shapes stored in a shape base. This is central to a wide range of applications, such as, d...

The Semantic Web movement has led to the publication of thousands of ontologies online. These ontologies present and mediate information and knowledge on the Semantic Web. Tools ex...
Multidimensional data structures are applied in many areas, e.g. in data mining, indexing multimedia data and text documents, and so on. There are some applications where the range...
