Database Research Group

The following is the list of publications of the database group since 2001. Only the papers that satisfy all of the following criteria are included in this list:

Consequently, this list gives a good overview of activity of the group, but is not comprehensive as it omits a variety of publications (e.g., demo description papers, poster papers, panel statements, introductions to issues, etc). For a fuller listing of publications by members of the group, other sources such as DBLP or CiteSeer can be consulted.

The papers are listed alphabetically according to the name of the first author and the names of core database group members are typeset in bold.
