We present an optimization method and algorithm designed for three objectives: physical data independence, semantic optimization, and generalized tableau minimization. The method ...
Skyline queries compute the set of Pareto-optimal tuples in a relation, i.e., those tuples that are not dominated by any other tuple in the same relation. Although several algorit...
Large graph databases are commonly collected and analyzed in numerous domains. For reasons related to either space efficiency or for privacy protection (e.g., in the case of socia...
