Most of work on partial information in databases asks which operations of standard languages, like relational algebra, can still be performed correctly in the presence of nulls. In...
We consider the problem of pipelined filters, where a continuous stream of tuples is processed by a set of commutative filters. Pipelined filters are common in stream applications...
The use of nanometer technologies is making it increasingly important to consider transient characteristics of a circuit’s power dissipation (e.g., peak power, and power gradien...
Translating data and data access operations between applications and databases is a longstanding data management problem. We present a novel approach to this problem, in which the...
— We discuss the problem of resource provisioning for database management systems operating on top of an Infrastructure-As-A-Service (IaaS) cloud. To solve this problem, we descr...
