This article provides a general discussion about how flexible querying can be applied to semistructured data ~SSD!. We adapt flexible querying ideas, already used for classically structured databases, to XQuery-like querying of SSD for managing users' priority and preferences, but also for tackling

β¦ Synopsis
graphs, which give rise to three variants of matching. For each variant, we provide algorithms and complexity results. In the filter phase, the maximal matchings resulting from the search phase are subjected to constraints, which may be weak or strong. Strong constraints require all their variables to be bound, while weak constraints do not. We describe a polynomial algorithm for evaluating a special type of queries with filter constraints, and assess the complexity of evaluating other queries for several kinds of constraints. In the final part, we investigate the containment problem for queries consisting only of search constraints under the different semantics.

## Abstract Parallel processing is a key to high performance in very large data warehouse applications that execute complex analytical queries on huge amounts of data. Although parallel database systems (PDBSs) have been studied extensively in the past decades, the specifics of load balancing in pa
