In data applications such as information integration, there can be limited access patterns to relations, i.e., binding patterns require values to be specified for certain attribut...
Recent work on querying data streams has focused on systems where newly arriving data is processed and continuously streamed to the user in real time. In many emerging applications...
For querying structured and semistructured data, data retrieval and document retrieval are two valuable and complementary techniques that have not yet been fully integrated. In thi...
Estimating the cardinality (i.e. number of distinct elements) of an arbitrary set expression defined over multiple distributed streams is one of the most fundamental queries of in...
