— Multi-criteria decision support (MCDS) is crucial in many business and web applications such as web searches, B2B portals and on-line commerce. Such MCDS applications need to r...
Spatial indexes, such as the PMR quadtree, are important in spatial databases for efficient execution of queries involving spatial constraints, especially when the queries involve...
—Past research on temporal databases has primarily focused on state-based representations and on relational query language extensions for such representations. This led to many d...
Abstract. We present an algorithm for mining frequent queries in arbitrary relational databases, over which functional dependencies are assumed. Building upon previous results, we ...
The state of the art commercial query optimizers employ cost-based optimization and exploit dynamic programming (DP) to find the optimal query execution plan (QEP) without evalua...
