We address the texture level-of-detail problem for extremely large surfaces such as terrain during realtime, view-dependent rendering. A novel texture hierarchy is introduced base...
Selectivity estimation is an important step of query optimization in a database management system, and multidimensional histogram techniques have proved promising for selectivity ...
Wide-area distribution raises significant performance problems for traditional query processing techniques as data access becomes less predictable due to link congestion, load imb...
Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for controlling concurrency in modern multi-processor architectures. STM aims to be more scalable than explicit coarse...
Abstract The integration of database and programming languages is difficult due to the different data models and type systems prevalent in each field. We present a solution wher...
