In this work we compare the use of a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) (both augmented with Support Vector Machines SVM) for the classification of high...
Traditional DBMSs decouple statistics collection and query optimization both in space and time. Decoupling in time may lead to outdated statistics. Decoupling in space may cause s...
