Requirements from new types of applications call for new database system solutions. Computational science applications performing distributed computations on Grid networks with req...
A large number of online databases are hidden behind form-like interfaces which allow users to execute search queries by specifying selection conditions in the interface. Most of t...
In this paper, we propose DBSampler, a query execution mechanism to answer "partial selection" queries in peerto-peer databases. A partial selection query is an arbitrar...
The timestamps of now-relative bitemporal databases are modeled as growing, shrinking, or rectangular regions. The shape of these regions makes it a challenge to design bitemporal...
We present a new algorithm for mining maximal frequent itemsets from a transactional database. Our algorithm is especially efficient when the itemsets in the database are very lon...
