Even though an effective cost-based query optimizer is of utmost importance for the efficient evaluation of XQuery expressions in native XML database systems, such a component is...
We propose a new algorithm, called Stripe-join, for performing a join given a join index. Stripe-join is inspired by an algorithm called \Jive-join" developed by Li and Ross....
The increasing use of temporal and spatial data in presentday relational systems necessitates an efficient support of joins on interval-valued attributes. Standard join algorithms...
Geographic information systems (GIS) must support large georeferenced data sets. Due to the size of these data sets finding exact answers to spatial queries can be very time consum...
