Query optimizers normally compile queries into one optimal plan by assuming complete knowledge of all cost parameters such asselectivity and resourceavailability. The execution of...
By providing an integrated and optimized support for user-defined aggregates (UDAs), data stream management systems (DSMS) can achieve superior power and generality while preservi...
Real-time applications such as multimedia audio and video are increasingly populating the workstation desktop. To support the execution of these applications in conjunction with t...
Genetic programming approaches have previously been employed in the literature to evolve heuristics for various combinatorial optimisation problems. This paper presents a hyper-heu...
