This paper approaches the incremental view maintenance problem from an algebraic perspective. We construct a ring of databases and use it as the foundation of the design of a quer...
Using materialized view to accelerate OLAP queries is one of the most common methods used in ROLAP systems. However, high storage and computation cost make this method very diffic...
Statistical summaries in relational databases mainly focus on the distribution of data values and have been found useful for various applications, such as query evaluation and data...
A fundamental problem in XML query processing is tree pattern query (TPQ) matching which computes all data instances in an XML database that match an input TPQ. There is a lot of r...
