We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
Optimization of join queries based on average selectivities is suboptimal in highly correlated databases. In such databases, relations are naturally divided into partitions, each ...

Large-scale event systems are becoming increasingly popular in a variety of domains. Event pattern evaluation plays a key role in monitoring applications in these domains. Existin...
We report on a query compilation technique that enables the construction of alternative efficient query providers for Microsoft’s Language Integrated Query (LINQ) framework. LIN...
Large data resources are ubiquitous in science and business. For these domains, an intuitive view on the data is essential to fully exploit the hidden knowledge. Often, these data...
