Query optimization is an integral part of relational database management systems. One important task in query optimization is selectivity estimation, that is, given a query P, we ...
Many applications need to solve the problem of approximate string matching with block moves. It is an NP-Complete problem to compute block edit distance between two strings. Our go...
High-level query constructs help greatly improve the clarity of programs and the productivity of programmers, and are being introduced to increasingly more languages. However, the...
We consider the use of data reduction techniques for the problem of approximate query answering. We focus on applications for which accurate answers to selective queries are requi...
Database query optimizers rely on data statistics in selecting query execution plans. Similar query optimization techniques are desirable for deductive databases and, to make this...
