In data applications such as information integration, there can be limited access patterns to relations, i.e., binding patterns require values to be specified for certain attribut...
We propose a distributed algorithm to construct a balanced communication tree that serves in gathering data from the network nodes to a sink. Our algorithm constructs a near-optim...
Text is a pervasive information type, and many applications require querying over text sources in addition to structured data. This paper studies the problem of query processing i...
We consider the problem of query optimization in distributed stream based systems where multiple continuous queries may be executing simultaneously. In such systems, distribution ...

We introduce a new method for optimization of SQL queries with nested subqueries. The method is based on the idea of Boolean aggregates, aggregates that compute the conjunction or ...
