We propose a new method for greatly accelerating the computation of complex, detailed shadows in a radiosity solution. Radiosity is computed using a "standard" hierarchi...
In a recent paper, we proposed adding a STOP AFTER clause to SQL to permit the cardinality of a query result to be explicitly limited by query writers and query tools. We demonstr...
The design of secure buffer managers for database systems supporting real-time applications with firm deadlines is studied here. We first identify the design challenges and then p...
We present a new client cache consistency algorithm for client caching database management systems. The algorithm, called Asynchronous Avoidance-based Cache Consistency (AACC), pr...
