Query optimization in RDF Stores is a challenging problem as SPARQL queries typically contain many more joins than equivalent relational plans, and hence lead to a large join orde...
Current approaches to K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) search in mobile sensor networks require certain kind of indexing support. This index could be either a centralized spatial index or...
In this paper, we ask if the traditional relational query acceleration techniques of summary tables and covering indexes have analogs for branching path expression queries over tr...
