Abstract. Efficient query processing is one of the basic needs for data mining algorithms. Clustering algorithms, association rule mining algorithms and OLAP tools all rely on effi...
We consider the problems of computing aggregation queries in temporal databases, and of maintaining materialized temporal aggregate views efficiently. The latter problem is partic...
In-place and merge-based index maintenance are the two main competing strategies for on-line index construction in dynamic information retrieval systems based on inverted lists. Mo...
Many existing indexes on text work at the document granularity and are not effective in answering the class of queries where the desired answer is only a term or a phrase. In this...
Progress in science and engineering relies on the ability to measure, reliably and in detail, pertinent properties of artifacts under design. Progress in the area of database-inde...
