In the life sciences, genomic databases for sequence search have been growing exponentially in size. As a result, faster sequencesearch algorithms to search these databases contin...

As storage systems scale to thousands of disks, data distribution and load balancing become increasingly important. We present an algorithm for allocating data objects to disks as...
We investigate issues related to the probe complexity of quorum systems and their implementation in a dynamic environment. Our contribution is twofold. The first regards the algo...
In large-scale distributed information systems, where participants are autonomous and have special interests for some queries, query allocation is a challenge. Much work in this c...
In this paper we explore database segmentation in the context of a column-store DBMS targeted at a scientific database. We present a novel hardware- and scheme-oblivious segmentati...
