Data-layout optimizations rearrange fields within objects, objects within objects, and objects within the heap, with the goal of increasing spatial locality. While the importance ...
Three experimental environments traditionally support network and distributed systems research: network emulators, network simulators, and live networks. The continued use of mult...

The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
In recent years there has been considerable research on automated selection of physical design in database systems. In current solutions, candidate access paths are heuristically ...
We present an architecture and a set of challenges for peer database management systems. These systems team up to build a network of nodes (peers) that coordinate at run time most...
