ORBIT: Optimization by Radial Basis Function Interpolation in Trust-Regions
Abstract. We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolati...

Optimization Algorithms for Exploiting the Parallelism-Communication Tradeoff in Pipelined Parallelism
We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering followed by parallelization. We focus on the parallelization phase a...

Using Generalized Annotated Programs to Solve Social Network Optimization Problems
Abstract. Reasoning about social networks (labeled, directed, weighted graphs) is becoming increasingly important and there are now models of how certain phenomena (e.g. adoption o...
