Abstract. We address a fundamental question concerning spatio-temporal database systems: “What are exactly spatio-temporal queries?” We define spatio-temporal queries to be co...
We address the issue of designing effective query languages for OLAP databases. The basis of our investigation is MD, a new data model for multidimensional databases that, unlike ...
Semantic query optimization can dramatically speed up database query answering by knowledge intensive reformulation. But the problem of how to learn required semantic rules has no...
Data and computations of a CAD system have been wrapped by a mediator system using CORBA's IIOP Protocol. This allows ad hoc declarative mediator queries to be translated into...
We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering and query rewrite (JOQR) followed by parallelization. We focus on t...
