Data Exchange: Semantics and Query Answering
- In ICDT
, 2003
"... Data exchange is the problem of taking data structured under a source schema and creating an instance of a target schema that reflects the source data as accurately as possible. In this paper, we address foundational and algorithmic issues related to the semantics of data exchange and to query answe ..."

Blobworld: A System for Region-Based Image Indexing and Retrieval
- In Third International Conference on Visual Information Systems
, 1999
"... . Blobworld is a system for image retrieval based on finding coherent image regions which roughly correspond to objects. Each image is automatically segmented into regions ("blobs") with associated color and texture descriptors. Querying is based on the attributes of one or two regions of ..."

Holistic twig joins: optimal XML pattern matching
- in: Proceedings of ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data, 2002
"... XML employs a tree-structured data model, and, naturally, XML queries specify patterns of selection predicates on multiple elements related by a tree structure. Finding all occurrences of such a twig pattern in an XML database is a core operation for XML query processing. Prior work has typically de ..."

to compactly represent partial results to root-to-leaf query paths, which are then composed to obtain matches for the twig pattern. When the twig pattern uses only ancestor-descendant relationships between elements, TwigStack is I/O and CPU optimal among all sequential algorithms that read the entire input
GLIMPSE: A Tool to Search Through Entire File Systems
, 1994
"... GLIMPSE, which stands for GLobal IMPlicit SEarch, provides indexing and query schemes for file systems. The novelty of glimpse is that it uses a very small index --- in most cases 2-4% of the size of the text --- and still allows very flexible full-text retrieval including Boolean queries, approxima ..."

, approximate matching (i.e., allowing misspelling) , and even searching for regular expressions. In a sense, glimpse extends agrep to entire file systems, while preserving most of its functionality and simplicity. Query times are typically slower than with inverted indexes, but they are still fast enough
An optimal and progressive algorithm for skyline queries
- In SIGMOD
, 2003
"... The skyline of a set of d-dimensional points contains the points that are not dominated by any other point on all dimensions. Skyline computation has recently received considerable attention in the database community, especially for progressive (or online) algorithms that can quickly return the firs ..."

Currently, the most efficient algorithm is NN (nearest neighbors), which applies the divideand-conquer framework on datasets indexed by R-trees. Although NN has some desirable features (such as high speed for returning the initial skyline
Answering queries using templates with binding patterns (Extended Abstract)
- IN PROC. OF THE 14TH ACM SIGACT SIGMOD SIGART SYMP. ON PRINCIPLES OF DATABASE SYSTEMS (PODS’95
, 1995
"... When integrating heterogeneous information re-sources, it is often the case that the source is rather limited in the kinds of queries it can answer. If a query is asked of the entire system, we have a new kind of optimization problem, in which we must try to express the given query in terms of the l ..."

View-dependent simplification of arbitrary polygonal environments
, 1997
"... Hierarchical dynamic simplification (HDS) is a new approach to the problem of simplifying arbitrary polygonal environments. HDS operates dynamically, retessellating the scene continuously as the user’s viewing position shifts, and adaptively, processing the entire database without first decomposing ..."

PATH PLANNING IN EXPANSIVE CONFIGURATION SPACES
, 1999
"... We introduce the notion of expansiveness to characterize a family of robot configuration spaces whose connectivity can be effectively captured by a roadmap of randomlysampled milestones. The analysis of expansive configuration spaces has inspired us to develop a new randomized planning algorithm. ..."

. This new algorithm tries to sample only the portion of the configuration space that is relevant to the current query, avoiding the cost of precomputing a roadmap for the entire configuration space. Thus, it is wellsuited for problems where only a single query is submitted for a given environment

There is a crucial need for tools that allow effective analysis of search engine queries to provide a greater understanding of Web users ' information seeking behavior.

Using semi-joins to solve relational queries
- Journal of the ACM
, 1981
"... ABSTRACT. The semi-join is a relational algebraic operation that selects a set of tuples in one relation that match one or more tuples of another relation on the joining domains. Semi-joins have been used as a basic ingredient in query processing strategies for a number of hardware and software data ..."
