The state of the art commercial query optimizers employ cost-based optimization and exploit dynamic programming (DP) to find the optimal query execution plan (QEP) without evalua...
Multi-core architectures have received significant interest as thermal and power consumption problems limit further increase of speed in single-cores. In the multi-core research ...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
In recent years there has been considerable research on automated selection of physical design in database systems. In current solutions, candidate access paths are heuristically ...
With increased demand for storage of scientific data comes a corresponding demand for efficient retrieval mechanisms necessary for analytical and reporting purposes. As is often...
