Performance-driven physical design is becoming more important as advances in IC technologies enable gigahertz operating frequencies. These same IC technologies, however, exhibit d...
Much computer-based learning is largely passive, based primarily on task-based, exercise-driven interactions. We argue that computers have greater potential for promoting more act...
We present PhysicsBook, a prototype system that enables users to solve physics problems using a sketch-based interface and then animates any diagram used in solving the problem to...
Abstract. Physical database design tools rely on a DBA-provided workload to pick an "optimal" set of indexes and materialized views. Such an approach fails to capture sce...
Abstract. We introduce AdaptPD, an automated physical design tool that improves database performance by continuously monitoring changes in the workload and adapting the physical de...
