Query optimizers normally compile queries into one optimal plan by assuming complete knowledge of all cost parameters such asselectivity and resourceavailability. The execution of...
In this paper, we study a simple SQL extension that enables query writers to explicitly limit the cardinality of a query result. We examine its impact on the query optimization an...
Existing work in the skyline literature focuses on optimizing the processing cost. This paper aims at minimization of the communication overhead in client-server architectures, wh...
Recent advances in wireless communications and positioning devices have generated a tremendous amount of interest in the continuous monitoring of spatial queries. However, such app...
Relational query optimizers have traditionally relied upon table cardinalities when estimating the cost of the query plans they consider. While this approach has been and continue...
