Project Description:  This project continues our current research on incremental XML view maintenance. Materialized XML views are cached copies of query results, that help in efficient query answering. However, these materialized views need to be kept up-to-date when the data is modified at the source. In this project, we investigate efficient algorithms for incremental maintenance of such XML views.

Semesters Desired:  Fall 2011 ONLY
