Query processing techniques for XML data have focused mainly on tree-pattern queries (TPQs). However, the need for querying XML data sources whose structure is very complex or not...
Semantic Query Optimisation makes use of the semantic knowledge of a database (rules) to perform query transformation. Rules are normally learned from former queries fired by the u...
On-line decision making often involves query processing over time-varying data which arrives in the form of data streams from distributed locations. In such environments typically...
We present a simple but powerful algorithm for optimizing the usage of hardware occlusion queries in arbitrary complex scenes. Our method minimizes the number of issued queries an...
Intelligent coordination in complex multi-agent environments requires sophisticated mechanisms for suboptimal task decomposition and efficient resource allocation provided by the t...
