Answering Queries with Database Restrictions

I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. My main research interests include query reformulation in the database domain. In particular, I work on the problems of how to do query planning and reformulation when relations have limited access patterns [7,9]. That is, the binding patterns of the relations require values to be specified for certain attributes in order to retrieve data from a relation. Most of my work is based on the TSIM-MIS project (http://www-db.stanford.edu/tsimmis/), a data-integration project [2,10,11] at Stanford.
