We present an optimization method and algorithm designed for three objectives: physical data independence, semantic optimization, and generalized tableau minimization. The method ...
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...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
Numerous applications such as stock market or medical information systems require that both historical and current data be logically integrated into a temporal database. The under...
