For object-oriented databases we propose a new technique for optimizing queries containing method invocations. This technique is based on the definition of inverse methods and que...
Abstract. Checking the consistency of query conditions is an old problem, and there are already many proposed solutions. Since the problem is in general undecidable, there is not a...
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
Given a set of Datalog rules, facts, and a query, answers to the query can be inferred bottom-up starting with the facts or top-down starting with the query. For efficiently answe...
Applications ranging from location-based services to multi-player online gaming require continuous query support to monitor, track, and detect events of interest among sets of mov...
