Abstract. We propose a framework in which query sizes can be estimated from arbitrary statistical assertions on the data. In its most general form, a statistical assertion states t...
This paper presents a query evaluation technique for positive relational algebra queries with aggregates on a representation system for probabilistic data based on the algebraic s...
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 ...
—Most Web and legacy paper-based documents are available in human comprehensible text form, not readily accessible to or understood by computer programs. Here, we investigate an ...
A means to add explicit structure to program source code is presented. XML is used to augment source code with syntactic information from the parse tree. More importantly, comment...
