We consider the fundamental operation of applying a conjunction of selection conditions to a set of records. With large main memories available cheaply, systems may choose to keep...
A fundamental problem in distributed computation is the distributed evaluation of functions. The goal is to determine the value of a function over a set of distributed inputs, in ...
The amount of stored information is exploding while, at the same time, tools for accessing relevant information are rather under-developed. Usually, all users have a pre-defined vi...
Cluster based replication solutions are an attractive mechanism to provide both high-availability and scalability for the database backend within the multi-tier information system...
Self-adjusting programs respond automatically and efficiently to input changes by tracking the dynamic data dependences of the computation and incrementally updating the output as...
