This paper is concerned with the efficient execution of multiple query workloads on a cluster of SMPs. We target applications that access and manipulate large scientific dataset...
Modern query optimizers select an efficient join ordering for a physical execution plan based essentially on the average join selectivity factors among the referenced tables. In ...
This paper proposes several vectorial operators for processing XML twig queries, which are easy to be performed and inherently efficient for both Ancestor-Descendant (A-D) and Par...
Top-k processing in uncertain databases is semantically and computationally different from traditional top-k processing. The interplay between score and uncertainty makes traditio...
