DKE'07 (abstract)

We introduce parameterized pattern queries as a new paradigm to extend traditional pattern expressions over sequence databases. A parameterized pattern is essentially a string made of constant symbols or variables where variables can be matched against any symbol of the input string. Parameterized patterns allow a concise and expressive definition of regular expressions that would be very complex to describe without variables. They can also be used to express additional constraints, to ``relax'' pattern expressions by allowing more freedom, and finally to cluster patterns in order to minimize the number of symbols' comparisons.
