Applications that monitor functions over rapidly and unpredictably changing data, express their needs as continuous queries. Our focus is on a rich class of queries, expressed as p...
We address failure location and restoration in both optical and wireless ad hoc networks. First, we show how Maximum Likelihood inference can improve failure location algorithms in...

Abstract. Software systems obey the 80/20 rule: aggressively optimizing a vital few execution paths yields large speedups. However, finding the vital few paths can be difficult, e...
In this paper, we propose a new technique for multidimensional query processing which can be widely applied in database systems. Our new technique, called tree striping, generalize...
A new type of optimization, called predicate move-around, ia introduced. It is shown how this optimization `considerably improvea the efficiency of evaluating SQL queries that hav...
