Until recently, most data integration techniques involved central components, e.g., global schemas, to enable transparent access to heterogeneous databases. Today, however, with t...
Database caching supports declarative query processing close to the application. Using a full-fledged DBMS as cache manager, it enables the evaluation of specific project-select-...
The critical functionality of many software applications relies on code that performs mathematically complex computations. However, such code is often difficult to test owing to t...
The Grid provides infrastructure that allows an arbitrary application to be executed on a range of different computational resources. When input files are very large, or when faul...
