This paper examines the computation of the Voronoi diagram of a set of ellipses in the Euclidean plane. We propose the first complete algorithms, under the exact computation para...

When query optimizers erroneously assume that database columns are statistically independent, they can underestimate the selectivities of conjunctive predicates by orders of magni...

Order is essential for XML query processing. Efficient XML processing with order consideration over relational storage is non-trivial, especially for complex nested XQuery expressi...
Histograms have been widely used for fast estimation of query result sizes in query optimization. In this paper, we propose a new histogram method, called the Skew-Tolerant Histog...
