The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
: In ubiquitous environments computers and smart devices, especially the technical view on them, disappear and users are supported to concentrate on the tasks they actually intend ...
Our current concern is a scalable infrastructure for information retrieval (IR) with up-to-date retrieval results in the presence of frequent, continuous updates. Timely processin...
We consider some issues in optimizing persistent programming languages. In particular, we show how to express optimizations of object residency checks in strongly typed persistent...
Reliability modeling and evaluation is expected to be one of the major issues in emerging nano-devices and beyond 22nm CMOS. Such devices would have inherent propensity for gate f...
