Research in temporal databases has mainly focused on defining temporal data models by extending existing models, and developing access structures for temporal data. Little has bee...
Magic sets rewriting is a well-known optimization heuristic for complex decision-support queries. There can be many variants of this rewriting even for a single query, which diffe...

Most real-world database applications manage temporal data, i.e., data with associated time references that capture a temporal aspect of the data, typically either when the data i...
An algorithm and implementation is presented to compute the exact arrangement induced by arbitrary algebraic surfaces on a parametrized ring Dupin cyclide. The family of Dupin cyc...
Abstract. We discuss, compare and relate some old and some new models for incomplete and probabilistic databases. We characterize the expressive power of c-tables over infinite dom...
