Selectivity estimation of queries is an important and wellstudied problem in relational database systems. In this paper, we examine selectivity estimation in the context of Geogra...
Traditional approaches for content-based image querying typically compute a single signature for each image based on color histograms, texture, wavelet transforms etc., and return...
In this paper we present a mechanism for translating constraint queries, i.e., Boolean expressions of constraints, across heterogeneous information sources. Integrating such syste...
In this paper, we introduce self-tuning histograms. Although similar in structure to traditional histograms, these histograms infer data distributions not by examining the data or...
In large data warehousing environments, it is often advantageous to provide fast, approximate answers to complex aggregate queries based on statistical summaries of the full data....
