"Abstract: \"A partial-sum query obtains the summation over a set of specified cells of a data cube. We establish a connection between the covering problem in the theory of error-correcting codes and the partial- sum problem and use this connection to devise algorithms for the partial- sum problem with efficient space-time trade-offs. For example, using our algorithms, with 44% additional storage, the query response time can be improved by about 12%; by roughly doubling the storage requirement, the query response time can be improved by about 34%.\""@en . . . . . . . . .
