Maintaining statistics on multidimensional data distributions is crucial for predicting the run-time and result size of queries and data analysis tasks with acceptable accuracy. To...
When integrating data from heterogeneous sources, it is often necessary to transform both the schemas and the data from the underlying sources in order to present the integrated d...
—We present an algorithm that finds the rotation which best aligns a given configuration of directions on an unsorted set of directions. Using a cost function that we derive in...
