We propose a multi-dimensional language called nD-SQL with the following features: (i) nD-SQL supports queries that interoperate amongst multiple relational sources with heterogen...
Algebraic transformation and optimization techniques have been the method of choice in relational query execution, but applying them in OODBMS is difficult due to the complexity o...

We consider spatial databases that can be defined in terms of polynomial inequalities, and we are interested in monotonic transformations of spatial databases. We investigate a hi...
Language users are increasingly turning to electronic resources to address their lexical information needs, due to their convenience and their ability to simultaneously capture di...
The problems of query containment, equivalence, and minimization are recognized as very important in the context of query processing, specifically of query optimization. In their...
