Modern scientific applications consume massive volumes of data produced by computer simulations. Such applications require new data management capabilities in order to scale to te...
Current methods for selectivity estimation fall into two broad categories, synopsis-based and sampling-based. Synopsis-based methods, such as histograms, incur minimal overhead at ...
We show that currently prevalent practices for network path measurements can produce inaccurate inferences because of sampling biases. The inferred mean path latency can be more t...
Restricting the preferences of the agents by assuming that their utility functions linearly depend on a payment allows for the positive results of the Vickrey auction and the Vick...
