Implementations of map-reduce are being used to perform many operations on very large data. We examine strategies for joining several relations in the map-reduce environment. Our ...
We propose to adapt the newly emerged cache-oblivious model to relational query processing. Our goal is to automatically achieve an overall performance comparable to that of fine-...
A plethora of data sources contain data entities that could be ordered according to a variety of attributes associated with the entities. Such orderings result effectively in a ra...
vices provide an important abstract layer on top of heterogeneous components (hardware and software) that take part into a grid environment. In this scenario, applications, like sc...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. Performances of an MDP are evaluated by a payoff function. The controller of ...
